Functional Biobased Skincare Creams

Cellugy’s EcoFLEXY, a cellulose-based material, is making its commercial debut in Bioli’s Moisturizing and Protecting Day Cream, a premium sustainable skincare product. Formulated for all skin types, Bioli’s new cream leverages bioactive enzyme technology for antioxidant protection while using EcoFLEXY as a biobased rheology modifier to improve texture.

Unlike conventional petrochemical-based modifiers, EcoFLEXY is fully biodegradable and derived from sugar through Cellugy’s innovative fermentation process. This marks a step forward in making personal care effective and environmentally responsible.

“It’s fantastic to see EcoFLEXY put to use as an ingredient in a commercially available product for the first time. We’re also very happy to support Bioli’s unique concept as we share a common vision for a more sustainable future in skincare,” said Dr. Isabel Alvarez-Martos, CEO and co-founder at Cellugy. “In EcoFLEXY, we’ve developed a solution that’s now ready to be adopted by manufacturers looking for the high-performance of petrochemical rheology modifiers with the sustainability benefits of biobased options.”
