Product Code: FSS12053 Anti-Pollution, Anti-Aging, Skin & Hair Protection, Moisturization, Dispersant. Unveil beauty’s shield against global warming impact with FSS Pina Colloida, a film-forming pineapple biopolymer, offering protection for your skin/hair and our planet.
Global warming, characterized by record temperatures, directly impacts skin and hair quality and aging. Biopolymers play a pivotal role in cosmetic formulations to safeguard these areas. Our aim was to develop an innovative solution utilizing a natural polymer as a shield against environmental factors, emphasizing eco-friendliness through sustainable sourcing. Drawing inspiration from cellulose-based polymers and Pineapple Leaf Fibers (PALF) technologies, we focused on waste reduction, leading to the creation of FSS Pina Colloida. By capitalizing on local sourcing from various regions, we transform agricultural waste into valuable products, contributing to the circular economy's closed-loop system.
Introducing FSS Pina Colloida, a breakthrough in beauty protection against global warming. Repurposing pineapple crown leaf waste, this innovative solution employs a natural polymer to create a shield against environmental factors. Through crosslinking technology based on yeast, waste is transformed into a valuable foundation for an eco-friendly ingredient, addressing environmental pollution and fostering a greener future.
Story:
Strategically sourcing pineapple crowns from three local methods, we utilized our expertise in biofermentation to craft this active in a delicate manner. By isolating yeast polysaccharides and combining them with PALF solution derived from pineapple crowns, we engineered a cross-linked biopolymer. FSS Pina Colloida acts as a sustainable innovative solution, safeguarding hair and skin against environmental factors while enhancing film-forming protection, texture, moisture, and dispersion benefits.
Rising global temperatures and pollution levels influence shifts in clothing and grooming habits, impacting the fashion and beauty industries. The market for antipollution skincare products is projected to grow significantly, highlighting the importance of technologically advanced sun protection. Global warming directly affects skin aging and quality, heightening the risk of UV-induced damage. Cosmetic products play a crucial role in maintaining skin health by addressing hydration, elasticity, and integrity. Similarly, hair undergoes structural changes due to aging and external factors, with air pollution and sunlight potentially harming hair proteins. Cosmetic chemistry provides solutions to repair damaged hair, with biopolymers playing a significant role in countering climate change impacts on skin and hair.
The project's objective was to develop an innovative solution for protecting hair and skin using a novel, natural polymer derived from pineapple crowns. FSS Pina Colloida combines yeast polysaccharides with PALF, creating a cross-linked biopolymer with enhanced film-forming abilities, texture, moisture, dispersion, and holding benefits. This eco-friendly solution aligns with the beauty industry's focus on biobased and biodegradable materials for sustainability.
Science:
Our focus in biomaterials science and engineering aimed to address environmental challenges associated with synthetic fiber-based polymer composites. We explored diverse applications, seeking alternatives in technology and fiber sources. Utilizing pineapple waste for creating novel materials showcases the potential of repurposing agricultural waste to minimize pollution and introduce beneficial sourcing strategies for new biopolymers. PALF offers a sustainable alternative, contributing to the circular economy's closed-loop system.
Transparency in our supply chain from harvest to production is essential. Understanding the significant issue of global agricultural post-harvest waste and finding ways to repurpose this waste is crucial for sustainability.
Benefits:
Experience the revolutionary benefits of FSS Pina Colloida, a breakthrough biopolymer that elevates the skin's defensive capabilities. By fortifying the dermal-epidermal junction, it effectively seals in moisture and shields against micro pollution assaults, thus combating visible signs of aging. Furthermore, FSS Pina Colloida extends its transformative effects to hair care, reinforcing structural integrity and safeguarding against UV radiation damage, resulting in vibrant, healthier hair. Moreover, this innovative ingredient showcases remarkable pigment dispersing properties, enhancing skin coverage and elevating product appearance to unparalleled levels of excellence.
