BIOINSPIR among the finalists of The Cosmetic Victories 2022
BioInspir has been selected as one of the 3 finalists in the “Industrial” category against two other French and Australian companies.
The Cosmetic Victories international competition has the triple objective of detecting innovative start-ups, supporting their projects and promoting research in the field of perfumes and cosmetics. This unique competition draws its legitimacy from a demanding selection process involving several colleges of high-level international experts, and from the diversity of a jury composed of representatives of the industry, institutions and professional associations of the sector” Marc-Antoine Jamet, President of Cosmetic Valley.
Six finalists were chosen from among the 80 projects from 18 countries that applied for the 7ᵉ edition of “The Cosmetic Victories” international research and innovation competition. Retained by a selection committee of international scientific experts, the applications are bearers of an innovation or research work applicable to perfumery-cosmetics:
- Bioinspir (France): New generation of sustainable fragrances with ecocatalysis
Bioinspir is developing a new sustainable chemistry chain based on the use of ecocatalysts, catalysts of plant origin. Ecocatalysts allow the eco-responsible and bioinspired synthesis of a wide range of cosmetic and perfumery ingredients. Fragrances such as methyl dihydrojasmonate (Hedione) and linalool oxide have been synthesized in state-of-the-art green chemistry processes combining efficiency, speed, naturalness and eco-responsibility.
- The SkinDNA Company Pty Ltd (Australia): SkinRNA Micro-cell Test
A world first, this epigenetic diagnostic test is repeatable in the patch and in the laboratory that quantifies skin care effectiveness through real-time gene expression activity. The device collects more than 15,000 genes, while its algorithms provide gene expression activity scores for skin functions, including collagen and elastin production and skin inflammation. After product intervention, a second test is performed to measure the new gene activity against the initial benchmarks. Consumers can then repeat the tests at regular intervals to track and monitor the genetic improvement of the skin without waiting for visible signs.
- PolymerExpert (France) : EstoGel Green – Nature Inspired Polymer
EstoGel Green is a fatty phase rheology modifier with high suspensibility. Based on a supramolecular approach, it can produce transparent and shear sensitive oily gels with a soft and natural feel. 100% bio-based, Cosmos-approved and globally approved, EstoGel Green is a unique thickener, according to the company. It combines, according to PolymerExpert, performance, naturalness and sensoriality. This eco-designed and easy-to-use ingredient is a key ally in the development of a new generation of responsible cosmetic products.
