DESCRIPTION

Vystar is a small holding company based in Worcester, Massachusetts that owns three product-focused brands targeting home, office, and medical markets. The company's flagship business, Vytex, is built around a multi-patented process that reduces proteins in natural rubber latex to nearly undetectable levels, addressing allergy concerns associated with conventional natural rubber latex. Vytex operates primarily as a technology licensor and materials supplier, with Corrie MacColl serving as its exclusive global distribution partner. Commercial focus has centered on bedding products in partnership with foam manufacturers. Vystar's second brand, RxAir, sells air purification units that use high-intensity UV germicidal lamps to destroy bacteria and viruses; the RxAir 400 is FDA-cleared as a Class II medical device and is sold online and through third-party distributors. The third brand, Fluid Energy Conversion, is an R&D-stage green energy unit built around patented fluid mechanics technology, including a device that harnesses vortex effects in flowing liquids, with intended applications in water treatment and combustion. Vystar operates with a single employee and relies heavily on partners, licensees, and distributors to commercialize its technology across all three brands. Vystar previously owned a majority stake in Rotmans Furniture, a New England furniture retailer, but Rotmans closed its showroom and discontinued operations at the end of 2022.
