When a cosmetic or personal care product has been created with a biopharmed ‘plant-based’ ingredient rather than one from nature, should traditional design codes for ‘natural’ or ‘clean’ beauty go out of the window? Where do you start with designing and branding synthesised ‘natural’ beauty products?
The possibilities for biotech-enabled products are endless. Leading biotechnology companies are moving beyond offering bio-based alternatives for popular ingredients and instead delivering novel and higher performing ones. What's next for biotech-based beauty?
Plant milking was pioneered over 15 years ago by French biotech company Plant Advanced Technologies and it’s back on the agenda this year, as the pressure is on to find more sustainable ways to work with plant-based beauty ingredients.
