Consumers are increasingly looking for natural cosmetics, which is driving demand for bio-based ingredients. Bio-based ingredients for cosmetics represented a market worth €298 million in France in 2021, with annual growth of 6.7% expected over the next five years.
Expanding the product range is central to the development strategies of cosmetics brands.For them, it is a question of strengthening the image of their products and convincing consumers who are skeptical about their effectiveness.
During this webinar, you will discover some of the trends and opportunities related to innovation in bio-based ingredients for cosmetics:

- Muriel BARBIER-BOILEAU, Co-founder and President,PROFILIA: a startup with innovative technology that predicts the functions of natural extracts. This innovative method can reveal the presence of biomolecules with high added value activities—antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant—in just a few hours.https://profilia-screening.com/
- Jane HUBERT, President,NATEXPLORE: Startup offering expertise in research and development for rapid and detailed analysis of the molecular profile of natural resources such as: terrestrial plant species, marine resources, agricultural/viticultural co-products, microbial species, cell cultures, fermentation media.https://nat-explore.com/

–ICROSIMMA:
The valorization of organic molecules of interest is booming. The methods (chemical and physical) of extraction, separation, and drying can be time-consuming, tedious, costly, and polluting.
New extraction processes are emerging (enzymatic, microwave), but the isolation and concentration phases often remain problematic.
ICROSIMMA technology enables the capture of organic molecules of interest by chemical affinity and size, thanks to the use of a functionalized mesoporous material. The molecules are thus isolated and concentrated without denaturation, in a simple and cost-effective manner.–P450:
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) proteins form one of the largest families of enzyme proteins. They mainly catalyze oxidation reactions, which are chemically difficult to achieve. Unfortunately, plant CYPs still have very limited industrial applications due to their often low yields, their intracellular locations, and the necessary presence of a coenzyme (P450 reductase) for most of them.
Our process enables the synthesis of the P450-P450 reductase pair on the outer bacterial cell wall, which is well oriented and functional. The enzyme is used directly in liquid culture, which simplifies the bioconversion of high value-added molecules and maximizes their yield.–Phytobois:
Phytosterols, sterols synthesized in photosynthetic organisms, are molecules of interest to the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. Phytosterols are derived from the by-products of rapeseed, sunflower, and soybean oil refining (deodorized vegetable oil distillate or DVOD) and kraft pulp manufacturing (tall oil). However, these resources are limited and the extraction of phytosterols is extremely energy-intensive and requires the use of large quantities of solvents. Our technology, based on green chemistry using supercritical CO₂, enables the production of phytosterol-rich extracts from forest residues, namely the bark of coniferous trees.
