Innovative Platform for Development of Active Ingredients for the Cosmetic Industry Based on De-differentiated Invitro Systems.

The project involves the creation of an innovative platform for the development of active ingredients for the cosmetic industry based on de-differentiated plant in vitro systems. It is a sequence of processes/modules that provide the creation of a unique product. Its aim is to offer cosmetic manufacturers a complete integrated service for the creation of active ingredients for the cosmetics industry. They will be extremely effective in terms of the key functionalities sought after as a cosmetic effect (regenerative, sunscreen, moisturizing, anti-oxidative, immunostimulating and other effects) and high marketing potential. The platform will allow the industrial use of plants that are rare , endemic, protected or difficult to access for collection or cultivation. Propagation of plant cells as raw material in bioreactors contributes to the conservation of plant diversity and has a strong ecological effect. This method allows to improve the properties of the product through optimization of plant cells and provides year-round continuous access to fresh raw materials. Bio-technology production also enables product homogeneity - cell culture has permanent phyto-chemical characteristics, unlike the natural product that varies seasonally and geographically. Separately, cell culture allows the creation of sterile biomass with complete lack of natural contamination. Expected results: Development of a platform which will offer: - Choosing appropriate cell cultures and/or creating new ones. - Optimization of cell cultures - Perform microbiological and performance tests - Developing emulsions. Project activities: doing research, testing, measurements needed to develop innovation (purchasing materials, outsourcing services); purchasing of fixed and intangible assets; visualization.
