Leading the green transition

At Innomost, our mission is to elevate our customers sales by helping them in green transition while making next generation products with our active ingredients.

Rooted in nature and guided by science, we replace fossil-based materials across industries, advancing the circular economy and supporting our partners with sustainable and even better solutions that accelerate business success for a better tomorrow.

Patented technology

Innomost was founded in 2016 with a dream of making a positive difference for a more sustainable future for the next generations. The principal idea of our founder PhD in Chemistry Sami Selkälä: “By replacing fossil fuel-based ingredients with wooden side streams, we can do our part in slowing down climate change” has resulted in the innovation of ground-breaking, patented production process technology transforming birch bark waste into high-performance renewable materials with minimal environmental impact. Our unique solution enables our customers to make sustainable innovations, and by replacing environmentally harmful ingredients with renewable materials reach their green goals while lowering the carbon footprint in the process. 

Commitment to continuous innovation 

Our experienced team shares the passion and commitment to scientific innovation and sustainable transformation to accelerate business success and create a better future.

Our purpose is to lead the way in sustainable innovation by upcycling forest industry side streams and transforming birch bark into high-performing products that offer more effective and renewable alternatives to fossil-based materials with minimal environmental impact.

High performance, minimal environmental impact

We have grown from lab scale to pilot scale production, and today we are a forerunner in Betulin production in Europe with an annual production capacity of 10.000kg. The collaboration with Metsä Group, one of the biggest birch processors in Europe, ensures the supply of sustainably sourced, certified raw material in vast quantities. By using forest industry side streams, no deforestation is needed, and the waste is transformed into high-value products.

Sustainable solutions across industries

Since 2018 we serve our regular customers in the international markets and help them to reach their green goals. Today, our 100% biobased and biodegradable ingredients Barkinno™ Birch Bark Powder, Betuinno™ Betulin, and Suberinno™ Suberin offer a sustainable and high-performance alternative to environmentally harmful materials across various applications, including cosmetics and personal care, adhesives, coatings, and paints.

Birch – Nordic Green Gem

The national tree of Finland, Silver Birch (Betula pendula) is known for its distinctive white bark. Birch symbolizes purity, light, and resilience and is a common feature in Finnish landscapes, folklore, and traditions.  Often growing in clusters, birch trees are known for their strength and flexibility despite their light wood. The bark and the white layers naturally protect the birch tree and help to shield birch trees from the negative impacts of the environment like solar radiation, extreme temperatures as well as infestation by pests. The climate in the Nordics has characteristics of long, cold winters and nightless nights during the summer. Thanks to the climate with the four seasons, the birch grown in the Finnish wilderness is high in nutrients and protective layers.

Scientific Proof of Efficacy

Birch has been widely studied and has scientifically proven efficacy, and multiple benefits such as antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Birch-derived Betulin and Suberin offer hydrophobicity, resistance, and durability for different applications.  We harness this national treasure and transform it into our valuable products.
