With the help of Biotechnology, we are creating the 1st bio-based Sunscreen Product,formulated with Lignin,a bio polymer extracted from biomass waste, that was scientifically proven effective in enhancing the Sun Protection Factor in cosmetics products.
Our formula is bio-degradable and environmentally friendly with ingredients from wasted biomass and will allow us to eliminate the damage the current chemical sunscreen actives are causing to the aquatic ecosystems and our own bodies.
Our mission is: While others see waste, we see beauty. We want to re-configure the existing supply chains, by giving a second life to wasted biomass and transform it into high-performing cosmetics products
What do we leave to the next generation?
