The Beauty Spot

Whether you’re a beauty enthusiast or a beauty brand, now is the time to embrace the mushroom movement. The next wave of beauty innovation is here, and it’s rooted in the power of fungi—beneficial for your skin, the planet, and how products can be packaged.

The beauty industry has moved on from the initial binary approach to the microbiome; it’s no longer simply ‘good’ or ‘bad’ bacteria – we now know it's the delicate balance and rich diversity of our unique microflora that is essential to our skin health. ‘Skin Rewilding’ is a branch of the ‘Dirty Wellness’ trend that counteracts skin concerns triggered by urbanisation, stress and over-cleanliness. 

The planet’s resources are finite, and biotechnology allows our industry to create beauty ingredients that are natural and highly potent without negatively impacting our planet and oceans. In this article our Product Innovation Manager, Aurelie Brunel, explores the significant impact of biotechnology and how THG LABS leverages our expertise in R&D and Innovation to support brands by manufacturing beauty products that are high performance and sustainable. 

We’re thrilled to be collaborating with the British Beauty Council. Our extensive expertise in product development and cosmetics manufacturing has positioned us as a key player in the industry and we are excited about working alongside other Patrons to support the British Beauty Council's strategic initiatives and champion meaningful change.
