About Ljusgårda
Supernormal Greens is a controlled-cultivation botanical ingredient company focused on producing plant-based ingredients for cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceutical research. Its model centers on growing selected botanicals in protected, automated environments so it can deliver ingredients with consistent quality, higher potency, and full traceability from seed to final ingredient.
The company positions itself as a partner for formulation-driven industries that need reliable, well-characterized botanical inputs rather than variable field-grown raw materials. It combines plant science, analytical testing, and controlled environment agriculture to support ingredient development with a strong emphasis on reproducibility, purity, and regulatory awareness.
Core Values
- Consistency: The company emphasizes batch-to-batch reproducibility through controlled cultivation, monitored processes, and analytical profiling.
- Purity: Its protected growing systems are designed to avoid pesticides and reduce contamination risks, supporting clean ingredient sourcing.
- Traceability: Supernormal Greens highlights full traceability from seed to final ingredient, with documentation and analytical control supporting transparency.
- Scientific development: Research, plant science, and analytical methods are integrated into the business to optimize metabolite expression and ingredient performance.
- Regulatory awareness: The company develops ingredients with cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and pharma-adjacent requirements in mind, including quality and compliance expectations.
Unique Aspects
- Controlled environment agriculture platform: Supernormal Greens operates a 7,000 sqm fully automated vertical farm designed for industrial-scale botanical production.
- Integrated R&D and production: Research and manufacturing operate side by side, allowing plant-science insights to move quickly into scalable ingredient production.
- Precision elicitation capability: The company uses controlled stress and elicitation strategies to influence metabolite production, which it says is not feasible in conventional agriculture at the same scale.
- Broad analytical control: Post-harvest processing includes laboratory profiling with methods such as HPLC and LC-MS to characterize chemical composition and guide extraction.
- Application-specific botanical portfolio: Its portfolio is built around selected species and compounds relevant to cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceutical research, rather than generic commodity crops.
