Here are some areas of interest, which together we could contribute to:
 

• The gathering of scientific evidence on physiological and cosmetic activities of essential oils and natural product extracts.

• The local development of new NTFP or NWFP of olfactive and cosmetic value in a sustainable way for the environment and indigenous communities via transfer of ethnobotanical knowledge about traditional use. We are interested in taking part to projects driven by UN organizations such as the FAO, UNEP, UNDP, UNCTAD as well as local NGOs from around the world.

• The crafting of meaningful innovations and fragrance delivery technologies supporting olfactive marketing and branding strategies.

• The understanding of the functional and the emotional drivers of the Beauty and Wellness Industry as well as the Food and Beverage marketplace.
