Synthetic Biology in Cosmetics-Driving Innovation and Sustainability
2025-02-24
Nowadays, beauty companies are increasingly exploring the use of synthetic biology to build cellular factories for raw material production, as an alternative to traditional animal and plant extraction and chemical synthesis methods.
This technology not only significantly increases yield and reduces production costs but also enhances product stability between batches, making it a core direction for industry development.
With the growing environmental awareness, the application of bio-based raw materials in the personal care industry is expanding.
According to a report released by Croda, the personal care industry is shifting from petrochemical-based raw materials to bio-based ones, with bio-based products currently accounting for approximately 40% of the entire industry.
Among these, the development and application of bioactive ingredients, especially collagen and peptide-based raw materials, have driven the rapid growth of the Chinese functional skincare market.
In the development of new cosmetic raw materials today, there is a need for clear functional requirements (such as whitening, moisturizing, anti-aging, antioxidant, and soothing effects).
Utilizing artificial intelligence for rational molecular, peptide, and protein design targeting specific biological targets, and leveraging synthetic biology to build cellular factories for the production of new raw materials, are essential approaches in this field.
