About RiKarbon

RiKarbon, established in 2018, is an innovative U.S. technology company based in Newark, Delaware, dedicated to transforming non-conventional and waste carbon feedstocks into renewable, high-performance. Backed initially by Department of Energy funding, RiKarbon leverages green chemistry and proprietary technologies to create bio-based oils and emollients that support the cosmetics and specialty chemicals markets. RiKarbon offers its UpSycal® emollients that are branched hydrocarbon oils crafted from 100% bio-based and upcycled agricultural waste and non-edible feedstock. These squalane-like structures serve as sustainable alternatives to silicones, petroleum-derived hydrocarbons, and esters, delivering label-friendly, stable, and high-performance aesthetics demanded by modern formulations.
