Biome Friendly Ingredients
Most of the ingredients we find in our cosmetics and personal care products are derived from crude oil. These products often contain residual chemical contaminants like formaldehyde that are harmful for our skin and for the billions of beneficial bacteria that grow on our skin and protect us.
Wouldn't it be better if we didn't have to use ingredients made from crude oil?
We Make Ingredients For Cosmetics
We follow four simple rules to make the best ingredients.
1
Formaldehyde Free
We do not use this toxic chemical as the starting material for our process.
2
Naturally Derived
& Bio-based
Our starting feedstock is of plant based origin. We provide third party certification.
3
Biome Friendly
Free of common contaminants which are harmful to the biodiversity
of the skin, such as formaldehyde, our ingredients can be used in Biome Friendly formulations.
4
Reduce Our Carbon Footprint
While many cosmetic ingredients are made from oil, ours starts off as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which helps to reduce the carbon footprint.
Our Ingredients
BIOGLYCOLIC ACID
Formaldehyde Free
Made from naturally derived ingredients using our fermentation process, our glycolic acid is a Biome Friendly, formaldehyde free ingredient perfect for cosmetics and personal care products.
AHA FERMENT LYSATE
Probiotic Lysate Ferment
We use our proprietary fermentation process to produce glycolic acid in a probiotic microorganism. The AHA rich probiotic cells are lysed to generate a unique ferment ingredient for use in serums, creams, gels.
AHA FERMENT MICROBEAD
Slow Release, Bio-based Scrub
Produced by fermentation, this lysate contains polyglycolic acid microbeads and is also rich in AHAs. It can be used as an exfoliating scrub, and provides slow release anti-aging glycolic acid.
