At Aldivia, we take our inspiration
from the astonishing richness and possibilities offered by oil-producing
plants.
Vegetable
oils, butters and waxes, extracted from oil fruits, principally contain
fatty esters from glycerol or fatty alcohol.
A minority is composed of free fatty acids and unsaponifiables. The word "unsaponifiables" applies to all molecules that cannot be saponified:
A minority is composed of free fatty acids and unsaponifiables. The word "unsaponifiables" applies to all molecules that cannot be saponified:
• hydrocarbons (e.g. squalene), • sterol and derivations of sterol (e.g. cholesterol, beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol), • tocopherols and tocotrienols (vitamin E) • eand carotenoids, precursors of vitamin A (carotenes and xanthophylls).
This complex composition results in biologically active lipids.

At Aldivia, we transform plant oils and derivatives (fatty acids, fatty alcohols, etc.) into functional and/or active molecules for use in sectors ranging from hygiene and health to industrial applications (lubricants, plastics, etc.).
