In the search for more sustainable and high-performing cosmetic ingredients, fermentation technology is reshaping how we look at plant-based oils.
Traditional plant oils are rich in nutrients, but they often come with challenges — instability, oxidation, and varying quality between batches. Over time, this can lead to higher acid values, rancidity, or reduced formulation stability.
This is where fermented plant oils step in.
By using advanced microbial fermentation, natural oils are transformed at the molecular level: fatty acid profiles are optimized, impurities are reduced, and bioactive components are stabilized. The result is a next-generation emollient that feels elegant, remains stable, and performs better.
Key scientific benefits:
Enhanced stability: Acid value and peroxide value remain low, reducing the risk of oxidation or rancidity.
Preserved activity: Fermentation helps retain and even enhance active compounds that support skin health.
Silicone replacement: Provides a lightweight, smooth, and silky texture — without environmental concerns.
Improved formulation safety: Resistant to degradation during storage and formulation, ensuring consistent quality.
At the core of this innovation lies the BioSmart Platform, which integrates AI-assisted strain design, metabolic engineering, precision fermentation, and purification.
This full-process biotechnology platform allows the creation of customized fermented oils tailored for different skin types and cosmetic needs — bridging nature and science for the future of clean beauty.
As biotechnology continues to evolve, fermented plant oils are not just an alternative — they are the next step in sustainable formulation science.
