Making Personal Care Eco-Friendly

Biotechnology enables consumers to choose personal care products that are made with sustainable sources, such as crops, microbes and carbon-rich gases.

Using biotechnology, companies can develop renewable chemicals that are key ingredients for a range of personal care products, including hair care products, lotions, soaps and perfumes. These sustainably sourced products are often less toxic and carry a smaller environmental footprint than the same products made with ingredients derived from fossil fuels.
