AFYREN and Esse Skincare Launch Bio-Based Propionic Acid for Enhanced Cosmetics
AFYREN and Esse Skincare have initiated a partnership to produce 100% natural skincare solutions featuring bio-based propionic acid. This collaboration marks the first application of bio-based propionic acid in the skincare industry, offering new potential for skin health and sustainable cosmetic solutions.
Propionic acid, a vital short-chain fatty acid, plays a crucial role in maintaining skin microbiome balance, supporting inflammation modulation and barrier resilience. Traditionally sourced from petrochemicals, it is now available in a sustainable form through AFYREN's fermentation technology.
The partnership enables Esse Skincare to utilize AFYREN's COSMOS-certified bio-based propionic acid, produced at the AFYREN NEOXY facility in France. This introduces a unique, low-carbon alternative to the market, reinforcing the importance of biotechnology in enhancing cosmetic formulations.
Nicolas Sordet, CEO of AFYREN, expressed optimism that this innovation would benefit both consumers and the environment. The collaboration is set to shape a new generation of skincare that prioritizes sustainability and science-backed efficacy.
