WACKER and biomanufacturing firm Amyris join forces in the personal-care sector
In Germany, WACKER and Amyris, a U.S. based biomanufacturing company, said they will be stepping up their collaboration in the development of bio-based functional ingredients for the personal care sector.
The goal is to systematically evaluate the potential of such ingredients and building blocks for innovative personal care applications and new development approaches.
The focus of the collaboration is on bio-based molecules whose functional potential is unlocked through targeted processing and formulation capabilities at WACKER. “At the moment, we are investigating how we can use certain Amyris ingredients to specifically expand and supplement our personal-care portfolio,” says personal-care expert Ian Moore.
WACKER is also examining the extent to which selected bio-based raw materials produced using Amyris’s technology can be integrated into existing production structures in the future.
