Mustela

In December 2011, Mustela's parent company, Expanscience, became a member of the Union for Ethical BioTrade (UEBT), an international non-profit association set up to preserve the planet's biodiversity and ensure compliance with fair trade regulations. In 2016, Expanscience acquired the Peruvian firm Deshidratados Tropicales, which specializes in sourcing and processing plant raw materials. With this acquisition, Expanscience provides for a more secure and more traceable supply.
