What Are Biotech Ingredients?
In skincare, biotechnology is used to create ingredients that are identical to what we find in nature. It's important to note that these are not synthetic imitations; biotechnology steers clear of reproducing nature with chemicals.
Ingredients can be created through processes like microbial fermentation, plant cell culture or enzyme technology. On a finite planet where resources like land and water are coming under rising pressure, we all need to examine our carbon footprint. Biotechnology emerges as a pivotal solution, not only reducing water, land, and energy consumption but also playing a crucial role in preserving biodiversity. Think of lab-grown diamonds versus mined diamonds.
Benefits Of Biotech Skincare
Quality Consistency
Biotechnology brings to the skincare industry a promise of consistently high-quality ingredients. Unlike in nature, where the quality, colour, and scent of a plant are influenced by variables like climate, season, and soil conditions, biotechnology offers a controlled environment to maintain unwavering consistency in raw ingredients.
Circular Economy Contribution
Biotechnology is a catalyst for sustainable practices. It enables the conversion of waste products into higher-value ingredients, aligning with the global shift towards a circular economy. This transformative potential positions biotechnology as a key player in addressing environmental challenges and fostering responsible consumption.
Our Commitment
We are committed to making a positive impact on the environment through the use of biotech ingredients in our skincare products. An example is our use of Hemisqualane, a biodegradable silicone alternative crafted by combining sugarcane with yeast. As we continue to innovate, we have exciting products in development that harness the power of biotechnology to further reduce our environmental footprint.
Join us on this journey towards a more sustainable and responsible future with skincare that not only enhances your beauty but also contributes to the well-being of our planet.
