Why "Kymia"?

The choice of this name is connected to the term “alchemy”, the art of turning base metals into gold.
Nothing could be closer to our mission: to convert something of little value, such as waste, into a valuable resource.

Discover our product

The idea

The intuition from which Kymia was born dates back to 2019, when Dr Arianna Campione discovered a high antioxidant power in what was normally considered a simple waste product: the hull of the Bronte pistachio.

This discovery led her to consider using one of its extracts in a finished cosmetic product with remarkable anti-ageing properties.

The Startup

In 2020, Dr Campione’s revolutionary idea took the form of an innovative start-up with the involvement of two other founders: Anna Cacopardo and Stefano Alberto Paganini. In the same year, Kymia launched the concept of its first product, attracting hundreds of pre-orders.

Two years later, Kymia S.R.L. was founded and its first product, the NO AGE – BOTOX LIKE face cream with Pistactive-f® extract, which immediately received positive feedback for its efficacy and purchasing experience.

The evolution

In May 2022, the company inaugurated a collaboration with the University of Catania, specifically with the departments of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Agriculture and Biochemistry, from which new discoveries on the extract, which is patent pending, were born.
At a later stage, Kymia decided to revolutionise its business model by selling its natural ingredients to companies in the cosmetics, nutraceutical and food & beverage industries.

Our principles

Value

We valorise the unexpressed potential of a raw material that becomes a resource, becoming part of a new life cycle.

Change

Kymia is constantly improving, adapting to the small and large objectives of an innovative, environmentally friendly and ever-changing market.

Well-Being

From research to production, the ultimate goal of every process that ends with the creation of our ingredients is the well-being of people.

Sustainability

Recovering waste is a responsible practice in itself, but it is not enough. We reduce the environmental impact of any production by preferring environmentally sustainable methods and technologies.

The founders

Three people bonded by a common ambition, a single vision driven by a passion for innovation.
