Synthetic Biology Empowers Cosmetics to Enter a New Era of Biomanufacturing

With the rapid development of synthetic biology technology, the cosmetics industry has entered an unprecedented technological revolution. Against this background, this paper conducts research from two aspects: on the one hand, by analyzing the popular application of synthetic biology technologies such as gene editing, microbial fermentation, and enzyme engineering, the paper summarizes the breakthrough progress of the cosmetics industry in recombinant humanized collagen, natural plant functional ingredients, and new emulsification and stabilization systems; on the other hand, by elaborating on the advantages of synthetic biology in safety, efficacy, and sustainability in cosmetic production and manufacturing, the paper further looks forward to the future mature application and multi-disciplinary integrated development path. The aim is to promote the cosmetics industry to accelerate towards personalization, precision, and sustainable development, and truly usher in a new era of biomanufacturing.
