What are Biotechnological Actives?

The new frontier in cosmetics        

In recent years, the world of cosmetics has undergone a major revolution: the entry of the biotechnological actives. These are not just fashionable ingredients, but a real evolution in the way we create, purify and use functional substances in cosmetics. 

Science and nature come together. In cosmetics, a biotechnological active is a substance obtained through microorganisms such as yeasts, bacteria, enzymes or algae, used in fermentation or cell culture processes. This makes it possible to replicate or improve the properties of natural ingredients, while providing efficacy, stability and sustainability. 

We are talking about a branch of biotechnology, particularly that white and green, which makes it possible to: 

  • Produce purer and more potent ingredients, with a consistent yield. 

  • Replace rare or unstable natural ingredients, Avoiding overexploitation of plant resources. 

  • Use reduced of water, soil and pesticides. 

Where to find Biotech Actives in N|skin            

Biotech actives fall into numerous categories, each with targeted applications for the skin and hair. Here are some found in the lines N|skin.
