About Us

Our Mission & Foundations
Our Mission
Our mission is to research and develop versatile, nature-derived technologies that address complex challenges across health, food systems, hygiene, agriculture, renewable energy and surface protection. By transforming bioflavonoids from upcycled citrus into practical applications, we aim to protect people, animals, products, infrastructure and the environment in harmony with nature.
Our Foundations
Citrox Biosciences was founded in the UK in 2006, building on pioneering research into the antimicrobial and anti-pathogenic potential of citrus bioflavonoids that began in the 1990s. This work led to patented technologies and a growing range of applications developed through scientific research, independent testing and collaboration with commercial and public-sector partners.
