25 Biotech Skincare Innovations

In a market full of lofty claims, biotech skincare innovations signal something meaningful to consumers: the backing of science and the simplicity and efficacy of nature, working together. Biotech beauty fuses lab-made (or lab-assisted) creations with natural ingredients or processes for formulations that are scientifically precise, grounded in what the skin actually needs, with reduced reliance on resource-intensive or ecologically harmful methods.

Many brands are leveraging biotechnology to create ingredients and products that tackle common skincare concerns. While some moisturizers for graceful aging incorporate technologies that mimic the skin’s natural repair signals, Garnier’s Vitamin C Fresh & Bright Hydrating Sorbet Cream incorporates biotech-derived Vitamin Cg, which uses 1,000 times less natural resources than classic Vitamin C.
