The Elixens story is first and foremost the story of a French family
" We are passionate people who over the years have built an independent and sustainable business. A company that has expert knowledge of each step in the production chain, from growing fragrant plants to delivering our products internationally.
We produce and market cosmetic, aromatic and perfume ingredients for professionals. We have chosen to focus our work in traceable industries that respect the planet.
The core of our business is located in the French department of Drôme, across several sites complete with international teams and installations. As one of the main producers of essential oils, hydrosols and aromatic specialties, we also benefit from our strong experience in organic farming. We provide specific support to your projects and a large range of quality natural ingredients, with a strong commitment to sustainable development.
So, let’s share what nature inspires! "
