Plant biofactories are changing the game in next-gen skin restoration — producing ingredients that go beyond retinol for real results. In this free videocast, sponsored by Core Biogenesis, Tony Abboud, chief commercial officer, breaks down what sets these biotech-driven solutions apart, their impact on the anti-aging market, and why a plant-based approach is the future of sustainable beauty.

Abboud also delves into the science behind growth factors and the launch of groundbreaking plant-generated ingredients like:

Peauforia (INCI: Water (Aqua) (and) Glycerin (and) Xanthan Gum (and) Camelina Sativa Oleosomes/Camelina Sativa sr-(Arabidopsis Thaliana Polypeptide-2 sh-Oligopeptide-1) (and) Gluconolactone); and
Peauvita (INCI: Water (Aqua) (and) Glycerin (and) Xanthan Gum (and) Camelina Sativa Oleosomes/Camelina Sativa sr-(Arabidopsis Thaliana (and) Polypeptide-2 sh-Polypeptide-1) (and) Gluconolactone).

Finally, he presents a 30-day challenge, where for a limited time, formulators can sample test products to see how these plant-derived growth factors visibly improve skin. Register now to participate in the challenge — and request the head-to-head clinical study against retinol.
