About us

Hexane extraction is more and more challenged in Europe:

• In September 2024, EFSA concluded that the safety of the consumer cannot be guaranteed, and that the hexane food approval should be reassessed. 
• N-hexane will also enter the SVHC list in 2025. 
• Hexane is now reclassified as a proven neurotoxicant for humans (ATP 22)  and as a suspected endocrine disruptor by ANSES 

Scientists have recently confirmed that hexane residues could be found in everyday products and in consumers bodies. Unfortunately, there is no safe dose for this petrochemical solvent.

Discover EcoXtract, your partner to help you producing high-quality hexane-free oil, natural extracts, and plant proteins products.
