Synopsis

Innovation in the cosmetic industry is now driven by natural, and sustainable compounds, offering the same efficacy as their chemical competitors. One of the possible solutions would be to deliver high-performing ingredients through white biotechnology, with the use of microorganisms.

After years of research and development, we are thrilled to introduce a pioneering biotech retinol to the market, a hero molecule for anti-ageing and a breakthrough evolution for the cosmetic industry. This new active ingredient, crafted from biotechnology, is the first 100% natural-origin retinol, offering a sustainable replacement solution to petrochemical origin retinol.

Produced in a natural carrier during a fermentation process from plant sugars

Sustainable alternative to synthetic retinol

Avoiding controversial ingredients such as BHT/BHA or polysorbate

Protected, even at a very high concentration, thanks to natural antioxidants

Similar biological and anti-wrinkle efficacy to synthetic retinol

This is the first-of-its-kind sustainable alternative to synthetic retinol!

With 100% natural-origin content, including sunflower oil as a carrier and antioxidant molecules extracted from the rosemary, the composition of this pioneering biotech retinol avoids controversial ingredients such as BHT/BHA or polysorbate. Its active molecule is identical to its chemical counterpart. Produced from plant sugars by fermentation, and combined with natural antioxidants to ensure its longevity, RetiLife™ provides the same well-known anti-aging and anti-wrinkle properties as classical retinol.

This ingredient offers the most innovative retinol on the cosmetic market and therefore opens the door to new cosmetic applications.

With over 1 million Google searches per month, Retinol is by far one of the most popular cosmetic ingredients for all beauty consumers. But retinol is all derived from petrochemistry. Our team has been determined to overcome the challenges and solve the dilemma by creating a 100% natural and sustainable retinol with biotech power.

This pioneering biotech retinol is a game-changer in the beauty industry that responds to consumer rising demand for cleaner yet efficacious beauty products. According to our CMI study performed in 2021, ‘free from harmful ingredients’ & ‘proven product benefits’ are the TOP items that people seek for when buying a beauty product. Actually, 77% of consumers are interested in a biotech and cleaner version of retinol.
