Unlocking the next generation of bio-based ingredients with biotechnology
Transforming how high-value plant compounds are discovered and produced
Our proprietary bioproduction platform, SATIVITRO®, redefines the sourcing of plant actives by turning plant hairy roots into an ideal natural factory. This unique biomass enables the large-scale production of targeted bioactives.Â
 Where traditional cultivation struggles to meet market demands limited by inconsistent yields, seasonal constraints, and climate disregulation, our biotech solution ensures standardization, traceability, and scalability.Â
We partner with companies who share our vision : a future where natural compounds are sustainably produced to enhance human health and well-being.Â
« Bio-based is moving from « nice to have » to « must have ». Brands and ingredient suppliers must pivot to more resilient, low‑impact sources. We wish to pioneer and lead this shift, towards a safer and greener industry. »
Finding inspiration in nature, without depleting it
Plants have long served as a source of cosmetic and pharmaceutical ingredients, but their importance has grown steadily over the past years as consumers pay closer attention to product origins and their environmental impact. Many of nature’s most valuable compounds inspire innovation, yet traditional harvesting and chemical synthesis can deplete precious plant-based resources and compromise ecosystem balance.
STH BIOTECHÂ was born from this challenge : by engineering plant roots, we enable the production of high-yield biomass that generates significant amounts of targeted bioactives. Our mission is to leverage biotechnology to produce bio-based ingredients in a sustainable manner.Â

SATIVITRO® : a breakthrough platform for natural bioproduction
Hairy Root induction
We initiate fast-growing root systems through a natural transformation process in liquid media, without soil, light, or pesticides.
Metabolic Engineering
When needed, we identify metabolic bottlenecks to precisely engineer plants and enhance the biosynthesis of specific compounds.
Ingredient Development
We explore the phytochemical content of hairy root lines to design the safest and most efficient bioactives.
Scalable Bioproduction
Roots are transferred into bioreactors where they produce high amounts of targeted plant actives with consistent quality.Â
Transforming plant compounds into scalable solutions
We develop sustainable plant-based ingredients with broad potential for diverse applications. Our portfolio includes a growing catalog of bio-based compounds and raw materials. We engage into proprietary and collaborative development to expand our portfolio in the specialty chemicals and cosmetic industries.
