The biological advancement is now coming to the forefront of beauty, bringing innovations and opportunities through its ability to program code to grow new kinds of
beauty ingredients.
“One of the most incredible things about biology is that it runs on a sort of code,” said Jasmina Aganovic, Entrepreneur in Residence at Ginkgo Bioworks. “DNA defines what enzymes, proteins, and molecules are made inside of a cell, and that DNA code can be programmed to grow new kinds of proteins and molecules that can be used in beauty.”
Industry partnership
Biotechnology company and builder of the leading horizontal platform for cell programming, Ginkgo Bioworks, teamed up with beauty and fragrance name, Givaudan, to create new and better products.
The duo signed a multi-program collaboration that will see Givaudan, which recently announced a business combination with Soaring Eagle Acquisition, utilize Ginkgo’s expertise in enabling bio-based product development. Together, the companies will use the pioneering application of cell programming to produce innovative and sustainable beauty ingredients through fermentation.
