What happens when cutting-edge biotechnology meets beauty?

During the 4th edition of the BOLD Forum, Joshua Britton Debut CEO and Adam R. Jones VP R&I Business Development at L'Oréal Group revealed how biomanufacturing is advancing cosmetic formulation. 

Today, many of the active ingredients used in cosmetics already exist in trace amount in our environment. The aim of biotechnology is to understand how nature makes these ingredients to transform them into an industrially scalable system. For the beauty industry, this means reducing the need for petroleum-based formulas, while improving performance and enhancing sustainability of products. 

These advanced processes are enabling the development of formulations supporting L'Oréal's 2030 environmental commitments. From biodiversity preservation to circular economy advancement, biotechnology is proving instrumental in building responsible supply chains. 

BOLD supports biotech companies to work collaboratively with L’Oreal Research and Development teams to unlock new horizons in beauty where scientific advancement meets environmental stewardship, delivering superior ingredients that benefit both consumers and our planet.
