Redefining sustainable manufacturing …. The beauty is in the process
Eastman GEM™ technology is raising the bar for sustainably manufactured cosmetics ingredients. Guided by the U.S. - EPA’s Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry, GEM™ technology uses enzymes and closely controlled manufacturing conditions to eliminate high temperatures, strong acids, and unwanted by-products; consuming less energy compared to conventional manufacturing processes. The beauty is in the process.
