Is an expert in pharmacognosy, sustainable biotechnology, and cosmetic science. Passionate about natural products, he develops innovative bio-based solutions for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
He has led pioneering projects in sustainable anti-aging and circular biotechnology, transforming waste into valuable compounds. Bridging science and sustainability, his work benefits both people and the environment.
Collaborative and ethical, Dr. Jackson builds innovation communities and envisions a future where science, nature, and society advance together toward sustainable impact.
Pharmacognosy is the study of natural substances, like plants, fungi, and marine organisms, that are used to create medicines and other health-related products. It explores how these natural materials have been traditionally used in healing and combines that knowledge with modern science to discover new treatments. Think of it as uncovering the secrets in nature’s toolbox to improve our health and well-being. From aspirin derived from willow bark to skincare ingredients sourced from plants, pharmacognosy bridges ancient remedies and modern medicine.
I'm fascinated by AI and machine learning in natural product research, enabling bioactivity prediction, compound discovery, and new uses for natural molecules. Sustainable sourcing is also key, ensuring innovation aligns with environmental and social responsibility. These trends are reshaping pharmacognosy.
We are expanding our product portfolio by adding 100 species over the next decade to our 500-species scientific garden. This aligns with our brand's vision of using botanical science to create sustainable, high performance cosmetic ingredients. By studying these plants, we optimize cultivation, explore bioactive properties, and develop innovative formulations. This initiative supports biodiversity, responsible sourcing, and environmental protection while offering nature-based solutions for beauty and wellness.
