Thank you for the mention SOSV and ClimateHack!
Excited to be featured in ClimateHack’s roundup of Startups Reinventing Industries. Deep tech startups are rewriting the rules of industry as breakthroughs once confined to the lab scale up into commercial reality. Check out the three companies from the SOSV portfolio included: 🐄 🌬️ Hoofprint Biome Co-Founder and CEO: Kathryn Polkoff, PhD Why: Cattle are responsible for about 30% of global methane emissions—one of the most powerful greenhouse gases. Hoofprint Biome uses enzymes to reshape the rumen microbiome, cutting methane production while boosting dairy milk yield and beef cattle weight gain. No harsh chemical feed additives. Only a natural solution. ⛏️ Still Bright Co-Founder & CEO: Ranulfo (Randy) Allen, PhD Why: Still Bright is developing a novel, sustainable method to extract copper without the massive waste, pollution, and energy demands of conventional mining. Its electrochemical process recovers high-purity copper directly from low-grade ores and waste streams, turning what’s normally discarded into value, unlocking cleaner, more efficient, circular metal production. 🧪 Xias Bio Managing Director: David J. Harvey Why: Xias Bio has developed the world’s first molecular platform for creating multi-functional, animal-free proteins. Each one can do the work of three or more animal proteins. Targeting cosmetics (e.g., collagen, keratin, elastin), its tech reduces reliance on livestock, slashes GHGs, pollution, and deforestation, paving the way for sustainable bioeconomy transformation.

There have been a lot of new followers to the page recently, so we thought it was time to re-introduce ourselves! Who are we? We are Xias Bio, an innovation partner focusing on the design and development of high-performing, #sustainable multi-functional proteins and #peptides within the personal care market. We’re here to simplify the complex world of #biotechnology; our unique modular LitePlatform™ is designed to streamline product development, reducing the time and investment typically associated with biotech in the #skincare and #haircare industries. We de-risk the design and development of such ingredients, so you can focus on what truly matters – creating #innovative, high-performing products. What do we offer? Leveraging our LitePlatform™ technology, we engineer next-generation #protein ingredients with #tunable, #MultiFunctional properties. These proteins can be tailored to specific performance targets, including #antioxidative activity, #SkinBrightening effects, and #barrier function enhancement…all integrated within a single protein molecule. Interested in peptides? Our LitePlatform™ also enables the sustainable production of #custom peptides, offering an alternative to traditional synthesis methods. This technology supports clean-label and #environmentally responsible claims, without compromising #performance or #scalability. We also provide R&D services to support multiple stages of the product #development cycle. From peptide discovery and optimisation to the development of custom #assay platforms for in-depth #functional evaluation of your #ingredients or #products Got an idea? Have a concept for a new product or looking to explore the potential of an existing one? Connect with us to see how our LitePlatform™ technology and tailored R&D solutions can drive your innovation and accelerate development.

Another successful trip completed for Xias Bio in this busy event season! New York Society of Cosmetic Chemists showcased the latest innovations and trends from #cosmetics and #PersonalCare research and development. Previous spotlight trends from in-cosmetics Global and Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna were still gaining momentum here, such as consumer demand for sustainability, skin longevity, the elevation of #haircare and #biotech to futureproof ingredient innovation. Whilst #sustainability is still a top priority for consumers, #biodegradation of products is now the key focus, suggesting environmentally savvy consumers are educating themselves further on how sustainable products should perform. Biotech-derived #peptides as alternatives to natural sources, precision #fermentation and #BarrierRepairing yeast ferment lysates are increasingly becoming go-to sources for the next generation of high performing active ingredients, whilst not compromising on sustainability. Hair and #ScalpCare ingredients are seeing a continued rise in demand, as the ‘skinification’ of haircare trend shows no sign of slowing. Think hair strengthening through deeper bonding in hair strands, a focus on hair fall and density and glass hair as an extension of the #KoreanBeauty #GlassSkin trend. #Exosomes, whilst having a moment in skincare, are seeing a rise in hair and scalp care applications too. As the trend toward ingredient upgrades continues - highlighting silicone replacements and #PlantInspired alternatives - brands are adopting smarter tools that deliver deeper insights into the performance of existing products. These data-driven solutions not only build consumer trust in products already on the market, but also streamline product development, lowering costs and accelerating time to market. In addition to Xias Bio’s expertise in #protein and #peptide design, we offer #customised tools to help you better understand how your products perform, helping you enhance efficacy and accelerate #innovation and #development. Get in touch with us to learn more!

✨In-Cosmetics Key Takeaways✨ - #4 Sustainability Expectations Our final post in our in-cosmetics Global key trends series focuses on #sustainability. More than just a trend, it reflects a firm commitment from brands and manufacturers to develop eco-conscious solutions that don’t compromise on performance. #Vegan, #CrueltyFree and sustainably produced #PersonalCare ingredients are not just a want from consumers, but an expectation, as they look toward environmentally conscious options. Embracing sustainability at the product development phase requires a holistic approach, starting with the innovative use of #upcycled ingredients to minimise resource depletion. Creating #biodegradable materials actively helps reduce waste, when products reach the end of their lifecycle. Furthermore, manufacturing processes must strive for lower energy consumption, aligning with the focus on #green principles of chemistry to create more environmentally benign formulations. #Fermentation is transforming sustainable beauty, offering a natural, low-impact way to create high-performance ingredients while reducing waste and reliance on petrochemicals. Finally, exploring alternative replacements for #synthetic components, e.g. #silicones, not only benefits the planet but often aligns with consumer demand for #cleaner, more eco-conscious options. Sustainability is a top priority for Xias Bio. That's why we use bio-fermentation to produce #MultiFunctional, innovative peptide and protein active ingredients for personal care. Whether you’re looking for peptides targeting skin longevity, yeast ferment lysates functionally fortified to support healthy scalp, or sustainably innovating your current protein and peptide ingredients, Xias Bio has the services available to develop your next line of active ingredients, to differentiate yourself from competitors.
