Naolys earns ISO 9001:2015 certification to strengthen quality assurance for cosmetic ingredients
Biotechnology company reinforces its commitment to scientific excellence, traceability and consistent quality as it expands in global cosmetics markets.
FRANCE – French plant cell culture biotechnology company Naolys has achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification, marking a significant milestone in its quality management strategy as demand grows for high-performance, traceable cosmetic ingredients.
The certification formally recognizes the company’s quality management system, reinforcing its commitment to scientific excellence, operational consistency and continuous improvement across research, production and customer support.
Founded in 2003, Naolys specializes in plant cell culture biotechnology for the cosmetics industry, developing active ingredients designed for skincare and personal care formulations.
Over more than two decades, the company has built a portfolio of 19 patents, focusing on sustainable biotechnology solutions for global beauty brands.
According to the company, the ISO 9001:2015 certification reflects a quality-driven approach that extends beyond manufacturing to encompass every stage of product development, from scientific research and innovation to production, quality control and customer service.
“Scientific excellence and quality go hand in hand,” said Rachid Anane, Chief Executive Officer of Naolys.
“ISO 9001:2015 certification reflects Naolys’ commitment to delivering innovative biotechnology solutions supported by robust processes, continuous improvement and long-term reliability for our partners worldwide.”
The internationally recognized ISO 9001:2015 standard establishes requirements for quality management systems aimed at improving operational efficiency, ensuring product consistency and enhancing customer satisfaction.
Certification demonstrates that an organization has implemented standardized processes focused on risk management, traceability, continual improvement and regulatory compliance.
Naolys said the certification will provide cosmetic manufacturers and brand owners with additional confidence that its ingredients are developed under internationally recognized quality procedures, supporting greater consistency across global supply chains.
The achievement comes as the cosmetics industry places increasing emphasis on ingredient transparency, product quality and sustainable sourcing.
Beauty manufacturers are seeking reliable ingredient suppliers capable of meeting stringent regulatory requirements while supporting innovation in natural and biotechnology-derived active ingredients.
Certification to internationally recognized quality standards has become an important differentiator for ingredient suppliers as cosmetic brands expand into global markets and face growing scrutiny over product safety, efficacy and manufacturing practices.
The milestone also reflects a broader trend across the biotechnology and specialty ingredients sectors, where companies are strengthening quality management systems to support international growth and meet the evolving expectations of multinational personal care brands.
As Naolys continues its international expansion, the company expects the certification to strengthen customer confidence and reinforce its position as a supplier of biotechnology-based cosmetic ingredients backed by robust quality systems, scientific innovation and long-term operational reliability.
