Profile
Sophim was created in 1995 in Peyruis, in the south of France.
Sophim is a family-owned company, which mission is to assist clients from the cosmetic industry in their transition towards greater naturalness, by offering them Products from Nature.
Our company has two plants, one in Peyruis, France, and one in Almeria, Spain, at the heart of olive groves, at the closest to our raw material. Our 70 employees support everyday our vision of a more sustainable future for cosmetics.
Our core business is to manufacture olive-sourced cosmetic ingredients and particularly Squalane. Squalane C30H62 is a molecule that reproduces our epidermis’ ability to repair and moisturize itself thanks to sebum activity. It is an organic emollient and protective agent, which is valued on the cosmetic market for its great properties and its well-known skin benefits.
Sustainability and CSR:
For SOPHIM, sustainability has always been key. Our company was developped on a circular business model : SOPHIM’s flagship ingredient, Phytosqualan, a 100% olive squalane, is obtained from byproducts from olive-oil (food), produced in the respect of green Chemistry principles, and biodegradable at 67%.
