Biotech-Derived Cellulose

Biotech-derived cellulose is a helper ingredient that helps create the desired texture, consistency and stability in skincare formulations. It acts as a rheology modifier and can also contribute to a lightweight and comfortable skin feel.

At Bioli, we use biotech-derived cellulose as part of our approach to developing skincare through biotechnology. Through fermentation, cellulose can be produced by microorganisms rather than extracted from plants. This offers a different way to create the functional properties that help determine the texture and stability of a formulation.

The INCI name is Cellulose.

Biotech-derived cellulose is produced through fermentation, where microorganisms produce cellulose using sugar as a feedstock. The process takes place under controlled conditions and makes it possible to produce cellulose without traditional extraction from plants.

Biotechnology also makes it possible to develop functional ingredients with specific properties for use in skincare formulations. For cellulose, these can include properties that contribute to the desired viscosity, stability and texture.

Rheology modifiers, as they are called, are used in formulations to control properties such as viscosity, stability and texture. They can be based on different types of polymers and raw materials, including natural, synthetic and fossil-based ingredients.

Biotech-derived cellulose offers a different way to achieve these functions. Through biotechnology, cellulose is produced by fermentation, where microorganisms convert sugar into cellulose. This makes it possible to use a biobased and biodegradable ingredient to create the desired texture and stability in a formulation.

Biotech-derived cellulose helps:

– Create a smooth and pleasant texture.
– Provide the desired consistency.
– Improve formulation stability.
– Create a lightweight and comfortable skin feel.
– Support a uniform formulation.

While cellulose is not a traditional active ingredient, it plays an important role in the functionality, texture and overall experience of the product.

Biotech-derived cellulose is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

As a functional ingredient, it supports the formulation and contributes to a lightweight, comfortable and pleasant skincare experience.

Yes. Biotech-derived cellulose is suitable for daily skincare use as part of a complete skincare formulation.

Bioli selects ingredients based on three criteria: efficacy, skin compatibility and environmental impact.

Biotech-derived cellulose shows how biotechnology can be used for more than active ingredients. Through fermentation, cellulose can be produced as a functional ingredient and used to create texture, stability and the desired skin feel.

For Bioli, this is an important part of our approach to skincare: using biotechnology to develop both active and functional ingredients with a focus on efficacy, skin compatibility and environmental impact.
