The aim of the competition: to develop new sustainable suncare products, through innovations in UV filters and protection boosters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2024, the global market for sun protection products will increase by almost $7.9 billion compared to 2023. This growth is linked to the fact that consumers are increasingly aware of the need to protect their skin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the need to use products that respect the environment. With the fibona program, Shiseido aims to meet the challenges and expectations of the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A spin-off from the University of Cagliari in Italy, Bacfarm is an innovative biotech start-up founded by Giulia Guadalupi, Samuele Antonio Gaviano and Davide Emilio Lobina. The company draws on its specific know-how and patents to commercialize new molecules extracted from bacteria.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These versatile ingredients, with their antioxidant, filtering, coloring and other properties, can be used in the design of cosmetics, nutraceuticals and animal feed, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bacfarm is responding to growing demand from European and global markets for raw materials from alternative, sustainable sources. <em>\"We are very honored to have been selected by the Shiseido group as part of its Open Innovation program, fibona. Having the opportunity to present our solution in front of a panel of industry experts has really taken us to the next level,<\/em> says Giulia Guadalupi, CEO and co-founder of Bacfarm. <em>Having the opportunity to prototype our solution for the Gallin\u00e9e brand will not only bring visibility to our project, but will also help us share all our research with a wider audience.
