We support cosmetics companies in the innovation of products and processes with technical-scientific consulting services and through cutting-edge equipment and laboratories.
Unlike common probiotic products, there is no need to control bacterial growth, making the product safer and more stable (longer shelf life) with economic benefits for companies.
The metabolites present in postbiotics have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, giving the cosmetic formulation anti-aging and anti-pollution properties.
In vitro and in vivo tests have shown that postbiotics promote the balance of the skin microbiota, increase antimicrobial defenses, and improve skin hydration.
For over 10 years, we have been a company operating in open innovation with businesses. We provide consolidated experience, advanced know-how in Research & Development, as well as industrial-scale implementation of services, processes, and support in the biotechnology and agri-food sectors. We are currently the technological partner for various multinational companies and Italian and international firms.
We guide the selection of the bacterial strain and the substrate to be fermented.
The use of natural matrices subjected to the fermentation process is strategic to exploit and enhance their intrinsic functional characteristics.
This approach will also allow obtaining naturally derived products that can be used as ingredients in formulations.
We develop an optimized and standardized fermentation process to maximize bacterial growth and the production of metabolites of interest.
We identify the optimal treatment and “inactivation” conditions to reduce bacterial load while preserving the functional characteristics of the product.
We characterize, from a technological and functional perspective (understood as beneficial properties for skin wellness), the semi-finished product obtained in order to understand its potential and the most appropriate application within Personal Care products.
We perform small-scale formulation tests to identify the optimal percentage of postbiotic ingredient to use in a hypothetical cosmetic formulation.
