As brands and consumers alike seek out innovation, biotechnology and beauty are increasingly intertwining.

During Beauty Inc @20, Alex Lorestani, chief executive officer and cofounder of Geltor; John Melo, CEO of Amyris, and Barbara Paldus, CEO and founder of Codex Beauty spoke about biotechs impact on beauty with WWDs senior editor Allison Collins.

For Amyris, its lab-produced squalane has become the companys bread and butter. Were about 70 percent of the world market for squalane, and were expanding the market by 25 percent per year, Melo said. Our sales are growing at about 40 percent per year, and were selling squalane to about 3,000 beauty brands around the world.

Geltor, for its part, produces collagen that is identical to human collagen, and it, too, is tracking upticks in interest. Customers and consumers are beginning to understand what you can really get from biology, its becoming more of an opportunity driver, Lorestani said.

Paldus, who came from a professional background in biotechnology, founded Codex Beauty after the birth of her son. I couldnt find preservative systems that werent fossil fuel-based, she said. Thats how we ended up with biotech ingredients; we were looking for ferments that could actually act as a preservative system.

Sustainability was a major theme, too, as lab-grown alternatives can cause less environmental damage than other sourcing methods. We save 3 million sharks a year with squalane were making through fermentation. Sustainability starts with this idea that once you kill the shark, youre not going to produce any more squalene from that shark. Ours we make from sugarcane, which is a five-year crop, Melo said.

The case was the same with Geltor. We had a third-party perform a lifecycle analysis and we could show that it required 79 percent less water, 50 percent less greenhouse gas and requires 40 percent less land to make proteins through fermentation, Lorestani said.

Story continues

The thing with biotechnology today is it can deliver anything across the spectrum, he continued. Theres a really exciting spectrum of products to have and were seeing more and more third-party entities emerge to certify different kinds of products.

Amyris value proposition is two-pronged: not only are ingredients less impactful environmentally, theyre also less expensive, 30 percent less than alternative sources, according to Melo. As we learn about the consumer and the purpose we have for them, theyre all for sustainability. So, it needs to perform as well, or better, then the alternative source, he said. Cost has to be at least the same, or better.

During the Q&A, Paldus said communicating around biotechnology requires a lot of consumer education. Biotechnology is actually natural the proteins and stem cells are 100 percent equivalent to those extracted from plants. Biotech is actually natural 2.0, because youre getting sustainable ingredients that havent been exposed to pollution, she said. These ingredients also often perform better, because theyre undiluted.

However, today Nagma proudly says that NextGen can deliver the best smart services because of the great hard work, determination, and dedication shown by her and the team. She reiterates that this determination and growth have made NextGen the most preferred brand for clients. Nagma transformed challenges into opportunities and enhanced the potential of the biotech industry.

Nagma mentions that the COVID-19 pandemic has been another notable challenge the company had to deal with. Since research institutes were closed, Nagma says that the Life Science Research area of the company was impacted and had its repercussions. Nonetheless, Nagma and her team did not step back and instead started working with clients recommended by the ICMR for Covid testing and VTM manufacturers.

Nagma recalls how the lockdown and temporary shutdown of companies affected the companys deliveries and payments. During this scenario, she states that the team got personally involved, applied for an e-pass, and moved products from airports to client sites. Even in the unfortunate crisis, NextGen continued aiding its clients. This, says Nagma, helped gain the confidence of customers and the company went ahead to give credit as required to the customers and delivered much-needed products within given timelines. Nagma believes that the pandemic as a challenge has prepared leaders to adapt to the changing workspaces, work with time management and limited resources. According to her, as a women leader she has managed to have a good work-life balance, have projected multitasking skills, and she as a leader has been patient throughout this transition.

Nagma considers NextGens consistent growth for the last six years in terms of revenue and profitability as the key achievement for the company and team. The company has been successful in attaining customer trust in a short period by providing excellent services in the industry, concludes Nagma.

Nagma reveals that NextGen aims to create an innovative environment, where the team could work effortlessly and provide innovation in biotechnology. She says that the biotechnology sector has developed over the years and hence, NextGen could advance and adapt to changing market scenarios and initiate revolutionary company policies. As per Nagma, NextGen has maintained a long-term, successful relationship with its clients by delivering quality services. This includes turnaround time for product deliveries, managing inventories with microanalysis of basic needs of prime customers, addressing customer problems in time with the best solutions, and maintaining a highly-skilled, trained sales and technical team.

Nagma recalls that she was taught to be an independent woman from a very young age and this has driven her to transform her dreams into reality. She has gained recognition and distinction as a leader and entrepreneur in the start-up industry and has been working relentlessly and ethically to bring technological advancement to the life sciences and healthcare industry.

According to Nagma, leadership is a journey, and not a destination, hence leaders make pathway decisions about the people they lead, their organizations, and themselves. She feels that passion, a positive attitude, and communication skills are the most significant aspects of a leader. In her opinion, an entrepreneur is a person who is responsible for setting up a business or an enterprise, one who has the initiative, skill for innovation, and one who looks for high achievements. Nagma believes that a leader should work for the good of the people, open up many employment opportunities and lead to the growth of other sectors.

She highlights that a leader should be someone who can bring an overall change through innovation and benefit society. Leadership qualities are important for entrepreneurs as far as Nagma is concerned. Lastly, Nagma reiterates that a leader and an entrepreneur should be prepared to take risks, have good decision-making skills, and effectively communicate with the team and the public on behalf of the company.
