For excellent efficacy, but due to factors such as technology or raw materials to limit its large-scale application in the field of cosmetics, is the current situation of a variety of raw materials, including collagen. AndSkincare OEM FactoryThe emergence of synthetic biology has brought new ideas for solving this problem.

Taking collagen as an example, it is often used in the field of cosmetics as an effective raw material for moisturizing, anti-aging and anti-wrinkle. Because of its complex molecular structure and biological activity, it is usually extracted from fish, cattle, pigs and other animals, but it also brings some hidden dangers and limitations, such as related animal diseases affecting the safety of raw materials and high sensitization rate. In addition, with the increase in awareness of animal protection, many international cosmetics brands have begun to avoid adding animal-derived collagen.

In this regard, in recent years, many companies have used synthetic biology-related technologies to produce recombinant humanized collagen with the same amino acid sequence as human collagen. This kind of recombinant collagen has high activity and no risk of animal source virus infection, which greatly reduces the sensitization rate and meets the requirements of green and purity. It shows a broad application prospect in the field of cosmetics and attracts many cosmetics enterprises to enter the market.

Different from the traditional animal and plant extraction method and chemical synthesis method, synthetic biological method is to realize the synthesis of new functions or new substances by artificially designing new biological systems or transforming old biological metabolic processes on the basis of clarifying the basic laws of biosynthesis. As a new comprehensive interdisciplinary discipline, synthetic biology brings together biological science, genetic engineering, genomics, materials science and computing science and other disciplines. It is also known as the third biotechnology revolution marked by the design of synthetic genomes by engineering means after the decoding of DNA double helix structure and human genome.

And its characteristics of creating new raw materials and new substances, low mass production costs, and green environmental protection in the whole process make it have great imagination in the pharmaceutical, consumer goods, food, cosmetics and other industries, and it has also attracted a lot of capital and domestic and foreign The attention of leading corporate brands.

So in the cosmetics field, what is the significance of synthetic biology for the domestic cosmetics industry? Skincare OEM pointed out that in recent years, China's cosmetics market is focusing on a few head brands, and most of them are international brands. For many local brands in the middle and low levels, it also means that the living space is being squeezed and new breakthrough points need to be found.

And at present by the new regulations of cosmetics in the formula composition disclosure, efficacy testing, efficacy claims, product filing, market supervision and other dimensions of strict norms and management, making the brand differentiation formula barriers increasingly weak, and simply rely on traffic, marketing means to become a burst of play is also gradually invalid.

All kinds of challenges show that doing research and development, making products, improving product quality and efficacy, and using "real technology" is an effective means for brands to get out of the circle. The encouragement of the new regulations and new policies on the research and development of new raw materials provides an effective way for local brands to break the situation. Synthetic biology is one of the effective means to efficiently develop new raw materials for cosmetics in this pathway.

Using synthetic biology, new substances, new products or new structures can be generated, which in turn can provide new raw materials for the field of cosmetic raw materials that cannot be provided by existing chemical synthesis or traditional extraction. The raw materials commonly used in synthetic biology are starch, glucose, cellulose and other renewable resources, which can effectively break through technical barriers and raw material restrictions, such as no plant-derived growth cycle, environmental restrictions, no animal-derived raw material virus risk, animal protection conflict, no rare animal and plant risk.

In addition, synthetic biology not only greatly improves the production efficiency of existing raw materials or new raw materials, but also reduces costs. For example, synthetic biology technology is used to synthesize and transform the effective ingredients of natural plants that have an impact on the production cycle, and the most efficient high-quality strains are screened out, which greatly improves the yield and shortens the time cycle. Moreover, it also provides a potential safe and green replacement scheme for cosmetic raw materials, and its production process is also more environmentally friendly, which is in line with the trend of pure beauty makeup that is gaining popularity nowadays. it also greatly meets the requirements of environmental protection, public welfare and social responsibility that are increasingly valued by all kinds of enterprises.

On the whole, synthetic biology has brought infinite reverie to the development of the cosmetics industry, especially for new brands and local brands at a critical moment, it is a good "advance" direction.
