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

3S PRINCIPLE
Science, source and sustainability
Value proposition and competitive advantages
- Detailed biochemical characterization (metabolomics, antioxidant assay, polyphenol detection, HPLC and FTIR).
- Superior amount of antioxidant polyphenols.
- Remarkable protective effects on human dermal cells (~80% decrease of reactive oxygen species-positive cells).
- No thermal degradation, no aggressive solvents.
- Low extraction costs.
- Airless packaging to avoid oxidative degradation.
- “Green” sustainable approach for planet, health and profit.
- Traceability of raw material, grown in the renowned Cinque Terre.
- Vegan and organic certifications when appropriate.
- Strong network in Cinque Terre, with close connections with wine producers and entities in the tourism sector.
- Last generation instruments, specialized know how and developed collaboration network.
- Marketing and sales will benefit from tourism.
- All the tests required for its commercialization have been performed and certifications have been obtained.
- Possibility to expand the production to other natural products, such as antiaging anticellulite creams, antioxidant solutions against hair loss, protective eyedrops, antioxidant supplements for macular degeneration, and other anti- degenerative solutions.
