THG Labs has entered a strategic partnership with UK-based biotech business Clean Food Group to create revolutionary new raw materials. The companies will start with a low-impact, high-performance oil, for use in beauty and personal care products.
This collaboration leverages the expertise of THG Labs Innovation and R&D teams, drawing on their extensive insight from over 30 years of experience in creating award-winning skincare, haircare, and suncare.
This partnership aims to provide the cosmetics industry with more sustainable, effective, and responsible bio-equivalent alternatives to commonly used, more agriculturally intensive ingredients. The partnership will see the transformation of food waste into new and valuable resources for the cosmetics industry.
Kristal Goodman, Head of Product Innovation, THG Labs said,
"Building on THG Labs passion for biotech and commitment to a more sustainable future, we are thrilled to be collaborating with Clean Food Group on a new era of innovation in sustainability. We’re constantly challenging ourselves to improve the environmental impact of our products, not only within the manufacturing facility but also in the supply chain of our raw materials.”
The genesis for the partnership came after eight years of pioneering research led by Professor Chris Chuck, Technical Lead at Clean Food Group.
The proprietary technology platform uses proven, scalable non-GMO yeast strains and fermentation technology and harnesses bread waste as its food source, to deliver sustainable alternatives to traditional oil and fat ingredients.
Chuck commented,
“We are delighted to be collaborating with THG LABS, as a leading innovator and full-service manufacturer in the cosmetics industry. With the help of THG LABS, we are excited to bring to market a range of science-led cosmetics and personal care products that put sustainability at their core.”
Goodman added,
“The work carried out by Professor Chris Chuck and his team has inspired a journey to explore the full potential of Clean Food Group’s revolutionary technology, with the Innovation team at THG LABS championing this project and helping to drive progress with more sustainable solutions for the cosmetics industry.”
