The rose is in our hearts and genes. We adore it.
We are third generation rose breeders and we create new varieties of roses for extracts.
Our passion for roses, passed down generations, our scientific knowledge and experience is changing the world of roses. By creating our own varieties and owning their intellectual properties, Preesman Naturals defines the market.
Our Misson

We aim to manage the entire chain, from product development in-house breeding and the exploitation of intellectual rights, R&D extraction using Supercritical CO2 to the sale of products to end users.

-
Valorizing residual biomass streams into high-value cosmetic ingredients
-
Establishing a circular and economically viable production model
-
Creating natural perfume oils and active cosmetic compounds with minimized waste
The project is carried out in collaboration with:
