Sparxell develops the next generation of colours and effects by providing the world's first performance colourant from plant that is inspired by nature. Spinning out from the University of Cambridge after years of research on photonics and structural colours obtained from plant-based cellulose, our mission is to eliminate toxic chemicals from colouration and provide businesses with sustainable, low-carbon and performant alternatives to traditional coloured materials. These include fine powders, pearls and glitter, films, foils and ribbons as well as special formats like sequins. Follow us to stay tuned as your brilliant journey is just unfolding.
