Melt&Marble launches precision-fermented lipid for personal care
In Sweden, precision fermentation company Melt&Marble has launched Marble7®, its first precision-fermented lipid ingredient for the personal care market. The lipid, which debuted at in-cosmetics Korea last week, is a 3-in-1 bioactive designed for use in skincare, makeup and hair care formulations. It offers a biomimetic skin lipid profile and is rich in Omega-7 and other bioactives for skin barrier-focused formulations. It also provides structure, stability, and sensorial performance, including a melt-on-contact transition to a smooth, silky skin feel and glide on multicategory applications.
“As beauty brands look for ingredients that combine performance, sensorial appeal and more resilient sourcing, lipid innovation is becoming an increasingly important area of formulation development,” Melt&Marble said in a press release. “Marble7® has been designed to help formulators meet these demands through a single precision-fermented lipid ingredient.”
The launch marks an important commercial milestone for Melt&Marble as it expands beyond food applications into personal care.
