In the skincare industry, biotechnology produces synthetic peptides and proteins derived from natural substances – such as fungi, yeast, and bacteria – with the same genetic structure. This means biotechnology doesn’t require the land, water, or resources that botanical ingredients do, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of production.
Biotechnology ensures skincare ingredients are recreated safely and sustainably. This is a breakthrough in the skincare industry because it means there’s less room for error. The result is clean, active, effective ingredients that are better for your skin and the environment.
