Boldus Biofactory is developing a next-generation biotechnology platform for the sustainable production of high-value plant-derived bioactive compounds.

While still advancing toward full industrial deployment, our development is already supported by substantial scientific progress, validated technical results, specialized expertise, and strong institutional backing.

Our work has secured competitive public innovation funding in Chile, including support through programs such as FONDEF, reflecting both the scientific credibility and strategic relevance of our technology.

Beyond research, we have actively engaged with industry stakeholders across cosmetics, biotechnology, and related sectors, receiving consistent validation that our platform addresses a real and growing market need: access to sustainable, traceable, and reliable plant-based bioactive ingredients.

Beginning with boldine from Peumus boldus, a native Chilean species increasingly affected by extraction pressures, we are building a scalable platform that responds directly to industry demand for sustainable sourcing solutions while protecting biodiversity.

Why our approach stands out

Our development combines:

• Strong scientific and technical validation

• Competitive public funding and institutional support

• Specialized biotechnology capabilities

• Market relevance confirmed through industry dialogue

• A scalable platform model with expansion potential beyond a single ingredient

Positioned for industrial relevance

Boldus Biofactory is not simply exploring a scientific concept — we are actively building a commercially relevant platform with demonstrated technical progress and strategic alignment with the future needs of sustainable ingredient markets.

Our goal is to become a key partner for companies seeking innovative, environmentally responsible alternatives to conventional plant extraction.

Our vision

We believe the future of natural ingredients lies in scalable biotechnology systems capable of protecting ecosystems while meeting global industrial demand.

By transforming native biodiversity into sustainable innovation platforms, we aim to redefine sourcing for the cosmetics, nutraceutical, and biotechnology industries.
