Azelis, the reference innovation service provider in the speciality chemicals and food ingredients industry, is pleased to announce a new distribution agreement with AGRANA, a leading producer of speciality ingredients for Life Sciences. Effective immediately, Azelis will distribute AGRANA’s PuraBeet for the personal care segment in China, Japan, the Philippines, and Thailand.

• The addition of AGRANA’s PuraBeet strengthens Azelis’s portfolio of responsible and innovative solutions, supporting customers in developing sustainable formulations
• This partnership with AGRANA strengthens the existing collaboration across the Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific
• Azelis’s strong commitment to sustainability, advanced technical expertise, and lab capabilities made it the preferred partner for AGRANA in promoting the novel PuraBeet in China, Japan, the Philippines, and Thailand

With over 30 years of expertise, AGRANA transforms agricultural raw materials into high-quality ingredients used across various market segments. PuraBeet by AGRANA is a multifunctional skin care ingredient, 100% plant-based and naturally derived from sugar beet molasses as crystalline betaine. It enhances skin hydration, reinforces the skin barrier against harmful substances, and helps reduce inflammation caused by chemical compounds in personal care products. Additionally, it improves the sensory experience by enhancing texture and spreadability.

AGRANA’s focus on novel, sustainable solutions aligns with Azelis’s strategy to deliver responsible and innovative solutions to customers. The collaboration meets the growing demand for naturally derived products, including eco-conscious products with a higher natural index. This expanded partnership with AGRANA marks the first time Azelis offers PuraBeet in Asia Pacific.

Jochen Warnecke, Head of Sales, Marketing & SCM – Betaine of AGRANA, says:
