LignOrganic (PTY) Ltd
LignOrganic uses waste nutshells to produce biomaterials, biochemicals and bioenergy, with lignin being the star biomaterial produced and having O’Phyll as an in-house brand.
We use waste biomass to produce lignin, which serves as a UV filter and antioxidant ingredient. There is a growing need for natural UV blockers and organic skincare products containing natural active ingredients. We sell lignin to manufacturers and use it in-house to produce products for O’PHYLL.
