Science meets tradition in the blue heart of Liguria
Startup Mission & Vision
In Cinque Terre territories, the particular climatic conditions, the soil, and the human selection allow the development of plant varieties particularly rich in natural antioxidants (such as grapes, olives and basil DOC).
Kidaria BS is dedicated to the production, detailed biochemical characterization, tests on human cells and selection of vegetal extracts from Cinque Terre with remarkable antioxidant/antiaging properties for cosmetic and nutraceutical products.
Products are based on natural extracts from locally grown natural products: grape
derivatives, olive leaves, basil.
Products from these extracts belong to three main lines
