Problem
Petroleum-based synthetic ingredients dominate the chemical supply chain for consumer products, creating environmental and health concerns. Manufacturers seeking natural alternatives often face limited scalability, high costs, or inconsistent quality from traditional botanical sourcing methods.
Solution
Nexus Agriscience leverages molecular farming to actualize hemp's potential as a versatile and prolific biosynthesis platform for natural ingredients. The company produces hemp-derived terpenes (HDT) that serve as drop-in replacements for petroleum-based synthetics in products intended for human consumption. Their Pure Oil, Flavored Oil, and Flavored Oil in Sachets product categories are non-cannabinoid ingredients designed to be incorporated into finished goods by manufacturers. By bridging science and agriculture, Nexus aims to supplant petroleum-based synthetics as the incumbent ingredient supply chain while maintaining food-grade manufacturing standards and rigorous quality verification through Certificates of Analysis.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial and business buyers in the consumer products manufacturing sector who need natural, sustainable ingredient alternatives to petroleum-based synthetics for food, beverage, personal care, and wellness products.
