The world is seeking alternatives to petrochemical and animal-derived inputs.
Modern Meadow biofabricated materials and active ingredients offer the world a new way forward. By introducing a more effective, more responsible, and readily available supply, we are shifting demand away from extractive practices and toward a sustainable bioeconomy.
But we cannot build a bioeconomy alone. We are partnering with companies developing bio-based supply chains and with businesses looking to design for sustainability from the start. Together we can create new coalitions to create the environmentally-conscious alternatives our planet desperately needs.
Bio-Coll@gen™ is a protein that is identical in sequence to human type III collagen, which is most prevalent in youthful skin, and when skin ages, collagen decreases. It promotes the skin’s natural ability to produce more Collagen type III, offering anti-aging benefits and eliminating the need for potentially harmful products such as animal-derived or synthetic collagen and other additives. This is both an ecological and molecular leap forward for the entire beauty industry.
More than half of beauty consumers seek products that are sustainable and animal-free. Of the 15 most sought-after beauty ingredients, collagen is the only one still sourced from animals such as cows, pigs, poultry, and fish. Modern Meadow’s Bio-Coll@gen™ eliminates the need for animal-sourcing of collagen while promising better results. Bio-Coll@gen™ is certified as GMO-Free, Vegan, and Halal.
As global demand for collagen grows, so does its environmental impact. Bovine collagen, the most common source available in the industry, contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and risks xenogenic disease transfer, as well as allergic immune reactions. Bio-Coll@gen™ offers the beauty industry a long-overdue alternative to petrochemical or animal-derived inputs.
Our Bio-Coll@gen™ is produced with the same fermentation processes used to produce beer and wine. It’s a simple, traceable production process using sustainable feedstock with no odor or color. Our close relationship with development partners and production facilities allows brands partnering with Modern Meadow to feel confident knowing our products are 100% traceable from Lab-to-Brand™. It’s also easy to formulate and ideal for all skin types.
