Company Profile + My Itinerary
Founded in 2004 by the Rastrelli family, Kalichem joined by the Lamberti chemical group in a joint venture in 2017. Kalichem is a specialist in the research, development, and production of cosmetic raw materials — where tradition meets innovation.
With a strong focus on sustainability, Kalichem develops innovative, patented cosmetic ingredients across four key commitments: environmental responsibility, sustainable products, green chemistry, and natural and organic ingredients.
The portfolio is built around two core technology platforms. Natural and sustainable ingredients include plant-derived lipoproteins and lipoamino acids used as emulsifiers and surfactants (the "Olivoil" line), hydroxyapatite and amorphous calcium phosphate-based remineralising agents for oral care, and a range of actives for multiple applications. Biotech ingredients leverage molecular biology, biofermentation, and postbiotics to create innovative, pure, and highly safe compounds.
Kalichem also offers formulation services and testing support, with a team of cosmetologists guiding clients through every stage of R&D — from concept to claim substantiation. A growing network of collaborations with leading European universities and research institutes further strengthens the company's scientific foundation.
