Croda International Plc

Materials

Croda International Plc is a British specialty chemicals company headquartered in Snaith, East Yorkshire, tracing its origins to 1925, when it began refining lanolin, the wool grease extracted from sheep's wool, for use as an emollient and industrial raw material. Croda has since diversified into a broad range of specialty ingredients for personal care, industrial performance products, and life sciences, and it gained wider public attention when its lipid technology was used to help deliver some of the messenger RNA COVID-19 vaccines developed in the early 2020s.
