Ceapro Inc. is a Canadian biotechnology company based in Edmonton, Alberta, focused on developing and commercializing active ingredients derived from oats and other renewable plant resources for healthcare and cosmetic applications. It leverages expertise across natural product chemistry, microbiology, biochemistry, immunology and process engineering to create ingredients, biopharmaceuticals and drug-delivery solutions, powered by patented processing methods that yield nano-sized biopolymers and bio-nanocomposites, and by plant-extraction manufacturing to supply ingredients to global personal-care brands. Ceapro’s two flagship ingredients, oat beta glucan and avenanthramides, are produced via its oat extraction technology and appear in many cosmetic and personal care products. Oat beta glucan supports skin structure and moisture, potentially improving wrinkles and wound healing, while avenanthramides offer antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits with topical redness relief and possible oral applications. In 2024 the company completed an all-stock merger with Aeterna Zentaris, reflecting a significant corporate development.
