Biotech ingredients – high skin impact, reduced resource dependency.
Moving beyond traditional natural and synthetic formulations, our skincare harnesses the power of biotech-derived ingredients. Our ingredients include bioactive enzymes and other biotech ingredients, produced biotechnologically in the laboratory using microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast and fungi – instead of extracting raw materials from nature or using petrochemicals. This enables targeted and effective skincare with a high degree of purity and stability, thanks to highly controlled production conditions. This contributes to more reliable skincare results and reduces the risk of irritation or unwanted reactions, making our formulations gentle and particularly well suited to sensitive skin. Let that sink in.
And the improvements go deeper. Every ingredient is evaluated for its environmental impact before use, during and after use. The production methods reduce resource consumption and overall environmental impact, and all our ingredients are 100% biodegradable. Read about our standout ingredients below, and explore ingredient lists for all Bioli products on their respective product pages to learn more.
Bioactive Emollient
What it does: Provides a silky-soft, lightweight finish that glides effortlessly over the skin.
Why it’s special: Completely oil-free, it delivers the softness of an oil without the heaviness, and the lightness of a water-based serum without the watery feel.
Bioactive Peptides
What is does: Strengthens the skin barrier and supports microbiome balance.
Why it's special: Unlike traditional peptides focused on collagen, bioactive peptides also support the skin's microbiome for healthier, more resilient skin.
Multi-Weight, Full-Spectrum Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
What it does: Delivers layered hydration for visible wrinkle reduction and firmer-looking skin.
Why it’s special: It’s more than just regular single-weight hyaluronic acid; it contains multiple molecular weights that work across different layers of the skin to deliver deeper, longer-lasting hydration.
Fermented Niacinamide
What it does: Helps even skin tone, reduce visible imperfections including hyperpigmentation and balance sebum.
Why it’s special: Fermentation reduces nicotinic acid, making it gentler on the skin than conventional niacinamide.
BioProtect: Superoxide Dismutase (Enzymes)
What it does: An enzyme-based antioxidant that helps protect against free radicals and oxidative stress, while reducing redness, soothing itching, and supporting skin comfort through its anti-inflammatory properties.
Why it’s special: A gentler, more sustainable alternative to traditional antioxidants like Vitamins C and E and green tea extract, offering antioxidant protection without irritation.
Biotech Acetylated Hyaluronic Acid
What it does: Provides up to eight (8!) hours of hydration while improving elasticity and reducing visible wrinkles.
Why it’s special: Longer-lasting, and more persistent than standard HA. This means prolonged hydration and smoother-looking skin.
Biotech-Derived Cellulose
What it does: Enhances the texture and stabilizes formulations, making skin-tolerance more reliable.
Why it’s special: Leaves skin feeling silky-smooth. If that’s not enough, it also presents a biodegradable alternative to synthetic rheology modifiers.
BioRefine: Protease and Lipase (Enzymes)
What it does: An enzyme-based 2-in-1 technology that gently cleanses and, when left on the skin for longer, also exfoliates.
Why it’s special: Cleansing and exfoliation with protease and lipase remove dead skin cells, revealing smoother and clearer skin without disrupting the skin’s delicate balance. Compared to traditional acids like AHA and BHA, it offers a lower risk of irritation. Its 2-in-1 function allows you to use a single product instead of two.
Our packaging is designed to biodegrade, not remain as waste.
All Bioli packaging – jars, bottles and droppers – is made through fermentation using microorganisms and is biodegradable and OK compost HOME-certified. This means that after use, you can place your empty jar or bottle in your home compost, where it naturally biodegrades through an enzymatic process within 52 weeks under suitable composting conditions, without leaving microplastics behind.
If home composting is not available, the packaging can be disposed of as residual waste and sent for incineration. It is made from plant-based carbon rather than fossil-based plastic, so when incinerated, it releases carbon that is already part of the natural carbon cycle rather than fossil carbon. Compared with glass, it also does not require melting at very high temperatures to be recycled. The packaging is not yet accepted as bio-waste. If it does end up there and in landfill, it will still biodegrade naturally and return to nature’s cycle – unlike conventional plastics, which can remain in the environment for hundreds of years.
