ÄIO’s Fermentation-Derived Cosmetic Ingredients Earn COSMOS Certification

Estonian biotech company ÄIO has recently obtained COSMOS certification for three of its fermentation-derived cosmetic ingredients. This certification, established by major European certification bodies in 2010, sets a benchmark for responsible sourcing, environmental processing standards, and ingredient transparency in the natural and organic cosmetics industry. The certified ingredients - RedOil, ZymaLipid Complex, and Encapsulated Oil - are produced through yeast fermentation, providing a sustainable alternative to conventional agricultural oils and lipid ingredients.

The COSMOS certification for ÄIO's range demonstrates that biotechnology-derived ingredients can meet the stringent requirements set by established natural standards. This certification not only assures formulators and brands of the ingredients' origin, processing, and sustainability but also eliminates uncertainty and simplifies the incorporation of newer ingredient categories into COSMOS-compliant formulations. Overall, obtaining COSMOS certification signifies ÄIO's commitment to providing high-quality, sustainable, and environmentally friendly cosmetic ingredients through innovative biotechnological processes.
