Levya

Levya utilizes precision fermentation with a proprietary collection of over 50,000 wild, non-GMO yeast strains to produce sustainable fats and oils. By identifying natural lipid profiles that match those of cocoa butter, palm oil, and shea butter, the company creates ingredients that offer identical performance and stability for the food and cosmetics industries while significantly reducing environmental impact. The process leverages low-cost, flexible feedstocks to enable scalable, high-functionality lipid production with improved antioxidant properties. By providing ingredients that integrate seamlessly into existing product lines, Levya enables manufacturers to maintain product quality and sensory characteristics while transitioning to more sustainable supply chains. The company partners with food and personal care brands to replace traditional, high-impact fats with fermentation-derived alternatives, directly addressing the environmental challenges associated with conventional industrial oil production.
