Avant s multifunctional protein - sourced from cultivated fish cells - can be used in topical skin care, beauty supplements and functional drinks for anti-ageing and protective properties (Image: Avant) Cell culture biotech startup Avant has launched a multifunctional protein for the active beauty market made from cultivated fish cells – an ingredient it says will carve out an entirely new segment in anti-ageing and protective skin care.
Hong Kong-based Avant’s Zellulin ingredient was primed for a wide-scale commercial launch early next year, with samples now available for testing in beauty manufacturing and R&D labs. The multifunctional protein, made from cultivated fish cells using a patent-pending proprietary biotech platform, could be used in freeze-dried powder or liquid form at various doses in topical skin care formulations, beauty supplements and functional drinks.
