What is UltimoPure?

UltimoPure is our proprietary advanced refining technology for the cosmetics and personal care industry. Ultimopure provides high-purity, ultra-refined oils and raw materials that possess exceptional safety, stability, and sensory profiles to meet emerging consumer demands.
With a research-driven approach and a long-standing commitment to excellence in purification science, our UltimoPure™ ingredients offer cutting-edge solutions for the skin, hair, and colour cosmetic markets. Designed to eliminate trace impurities without altering the underlying, beneficial fatty acid composition of natural lipids. This capability allows cosmetic scientists to formulate with absolute confidence, ensuring optimal stability, minimal irritation, and unparalleled cosmetic elegance.

Over 50 Years of Technical Heritage

In July 2022, Croda Beauty transitioned its world-renowned Super Refined™ technology for cosmetic applications under the unified global banner of UltimoPure™. This represents the core capability of Croda Japan’s Shiga site. Backed by more than 50 years of history, rigorous quality controls, and proven achievements across both the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Derived from Ultimo (ultimate) and Pure (genuine), UltimoPure™ remains the industry benchmark for lipid purification, unlocking the true potential of natural, mineral, and synthetic oils.
