Gaia Tech develops upcycled functional ingredients for cosmetics, food and nutraceutical manufacturers. It analyzes agricultural side streams such as olive pomace, rapeseed meal and spent coffee grounds, extracts valuable compounds, then formulates and validates standardized ingredients that can be incorporated into customer products.
Gaia Tech analyzes raw materials such as peels, seeds and pomace to identify valuable compounds, extracts those compounds using clean methods, and develops or functionalizes the extracts for stability and performance. It validates ingredient safety and effectiveness with data, then provides standardized products that formulation teams can use in existing manufacturing workflows.
Commercial products include Phenoliva ingredients made from olive pomace, while other ingredients from rapeseed meal and additional side streams are in development. The company works with manufacturers on new applications and ingredient development; its goal is to turn discarded or low-value biomass into ingredients with defined functions rather than sell raw waste streams.
Its customers are cosmetic, food and nutraceutical manufacturers. Gaia Tech’s product pages list commercial ingredients such as Phenoliva Active, while the company continues to develop ingredients from other feedstocks. A September 2026 strategic financing and partnership with Kielder Agro Group is intended to fund research, scale its portfolio and add new ingredients.
