10 NEWS Forest therapy inspires biofunctional
Inspired by ancient rituals and forest therapy, Ashland has launched Santalwood biofunctional, a Santalum album extract inspired by forest therapies to fuel ethereal beauty, an inner fire and outward glow. It is the first biofunctional to be
developed by Ashland with Artificial Intelligence (AI) for well ageing that helps transform skin’s appearance from dull and lifeless to vibrant and glowing. Santalwood biofunctional
reduces skin cell senescence and helps mitigate air pollution damage. It adds to the allure of skin with clinically proven benefits for regeneration, firmness and anti-wrinkles. The biofunctional is oil soluble and can be formulated into a wide range of beauty products
for well ageing. “Walking through a forest, you are surrounded by nature’s raw beauty and the fresh air is extremely beneficial,” said Anne Clay, global marketing manager, Ashland. “Our new biofunctional was inspired by forest therapy, which is an emerging trend in health and wellness, also known as shinrin-yoku in Japan. Forests often deliver large amounts of odorant molecules identified as forest volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Sandalwood produces forest VOCs that form only with the right mix of genetics and environmental factors. Ashland Santalwood biofunctional captures selective forest VOCs from the sandalwood and enhances skin olfactory receptors shown to decrease with age and air pollution.”

Coalition to support US synthetic biology industry
Three synthetic biology companies have announced the launch of the Synthetic Biology (SynBio) Coalition to promote investment and support for the American synthetic biology industry. Synthetic biology is a field of science that involves redesigning microorganisms for useful purposes. It is already being leveraged across many industries, including personal and home care items. Working in collaboration with the
US federal government, the SynBio Coalition is backed by three US synthetic biology companies: Antheia, based in Menlo Park, California; Genomatica, based in San Diego, California; and Ginkgo Bioworks, based in Boston, Massachusetts. The SynBio Coalition aims to support the development and growth of the world’s advanced biomanufacturing industry in the
United States, contributing to technologies that will improve access to medicine, create more sustainable and productive farming practices, help transform industrial manufacturing, and unlock a next generation of products across numerous industries. “America’s strengths in synbio
innovation and growing crops can power a new era of industrial growth and prosperity, while making the products we use every day, better and more sustainable,” said Christophe Schilling, co-founder and CEO at Genomatica. “Synbio manufacturing of widely-used materials can bring back many industries that have moved overseas. This coalition is a great step in building broad support for the policies needed to drive this opportunity.”
