Biotechnology in Cosmetics & Personal Care

Biotechnology in cosmetics & personal care has transformed how the beauty and skincare industries approach formulation, sustainability, and efficacy. Leveraging bioengineered ingredients such as peptides, probiotics, plant stem cells, and hyaluronic acid, this field delivers high-performance products tailored to individual skin and hair needs. Fermentation-derived actives and biomimetic compounds enhance bioavailability and stability, while DNA-based diagnostics and microbiome profiling pave the way for personalized beauty regimens. Moreover, sustainable practices such as using biotech-sourced emulsifiers, fragrance molecules, and biodegradable packaging align with clean beauty trends. Biotechnology in cosmetics & personal care also prioritizes safety through cruelty-free testing models, including organ-on-chip and 3D skin equivalents. This science-driven innovation ensures that cosmetic products are not only functional but also ethically and environmentally responsible.
