This project will focus your on developing and promoting a series of new skincare products where all the formulations will use environmentally-friendly ingredients only, and where manufacturing processes are selected based on key sustainability criteria. The center-piece of each new formulation will be Mirexus' novel sustainable biomaterial (phytoglycogen) extracted from locally grown sweet corn using only water and energy.
