Uniproma’s recombinant PDRN cream has been selected as one of just 10 finalists for the 2026 Laura Marshall Award for Innovation at SCS Formulate.
Listed in the Technology & Disruption category as the PDRN Soothing Repair Cream, the formulation demonstrates how recombinant biotechnology can be translated into a practical, consumer-ready skincare solution.
Recognising innovation in cosmetic science
Presented by the UK’s Society for Cosmetic Science, the Laura Marshall Awards celebrate innovation and excellence across the personal care and cosmetics industry, including formulation development, testing methods, packaging and emerging technologies.
Each paying exhibitor may submit only one entry. Finalists are selected by an independent judging panel representing different areas of the industry, including academia, regulatory affairs, contract manufacturing, trade associations and cosmetic science.
Being named among the final 10 therefore represents an important recognition of both the scientific concept and its successful application in a finished formulation.
From recombinant biotechnology to finished skincare
Uniproma’s finalist cream incorporates animal-free recombinant PDRN into a soothing and restorative skincare formulation.
The project brings together biotechnology, formulation science and sensory design, demonstrating that advanced cosmetic technologies can move beyond ingredient innovation and become accessible, scalable and meaningful in real-world product development.
For formulators and beauty brands, recombinant PDRN also opens new possibilities for developing differentiated skincare concepts centred on skin repair, resilience and longevity.
Turning emerging science into market-ready solutions
For Uniproma, this recognition validates more than a single formulation. It reflects our broader commitment to:
● Transforming emerging science into commercially relevant solutions
● Supporting formulators with efficacy evidence, technical documentation and application expertise
● Helping brands translate biotechnology concepts into differentiated finished products
● Making advanced cosmetic technologies more accessible and scalable
We believe the future of cosmetic innovation depends not only on discovering new ingredients, but also on turning those discoveries into effective, well-designed formulations that deliver meaningful value to brands and consumers.
We look forward to presenting our recombinant PDRN cream to the cosmetic science community and continuing to advance the next generation of biotechnology-driven beauty solutions.
