Synthetic biology has evolved over the last two decades to revolutionize healthcare with notable contributions in therapeutics, diagnostics, and drug discovery. Now, it finds a host of applications in the consumer industry to support the growing attention towards health and the environment.

In a recent report by leading data and analytics company GlobalData entitled, “Engineering Microorganisms into Powerful Micromachines: Can Synthetic Biology Foster Bio Revolution?” synthetic biology-powered innovations of various consumer companies are highlighted to develop sustainable products. 
 
“The shift in the consumer interest towards scientifically-backed and socially conscious ingredients lays the foundation for consumer businesses to explore synthetic biology,” said Kiran Raj, principal, disruptive tech analyst at GlobalData. “Advances in technologies such as DNA synthesis, microbial engineering, and data tools are enabling the launch of eco-friendly products like alternative proteins, animal-free collagen, and leather substitutes.”
 
US startup Geltor uses plant-based bacterial fermentation to produce animal-free collagen substitutes. Its HumaColl21 is a commercial human Type 21 collagen created with zero animal inputs for anti-aging cosmetic formulations. 
 
In August, Canada’s new beauty brand Orora Skin Science announced the launch of two products made with HumaColl21.
