Biotechnology allows scientists to replicate ingredients and apply strict quality control, ensuring the products they produce are stable and precise. This is done by replicating natural processes in controlled environments.

Biotechnology is used to produce many things, such as sustainable energy, higher crop yields, and new pharmaceutical products. Unlike botanical ingredients, which can vary and generate unpredictable results, biotechnology leaves less room for error.

Peptides and proteins form the cornerstone of high-quality skincare and using natural substances such as fungi to produce these make a substantial impact on the production process's carbon footprint. Biotechnology doesn't require the land, water, or resources that botanical ingredients do.

In using far less of these resources, companies that produce biotech skincare products allow nature to carry on as it usually would, reducing their impact on the natural environment and the animals that rely on it.
