How Solabia pioneered the original product Fucogel® in 1988

 
Cosmetic researchers in laboratories have an exciting mission: Create & Innovate for the better good. They study complex molecules to improve processes and products for the cosmetics market. Solabia’s core contribution to the cosmetic industry are active ingredients inspired from nature and enhanced through state of the art technology, reflecting the ambition of our hard-working researchers. 
Our company is very proud to look back at 1988 where our biotechnological cosmetic researchers discovered the ability of a bacterial strain to synthesize a unique polysaccharidic structure rich in fucose: Biosaccharide Gum-1, now widely known as the best cosmetic active ingredient for both efficient and sensorial formulations: Fucogel®.

In 1988’s lab, a large screening of bacterial strains started. Among all the strains tested, one stood out for its ability to produce a very particular polysaccharide structure rich in fucose. This original strain was selected from the natural environment, thus is a non-genetically modified strain. The fermentation process developed has been based on an environment free of animal compounds and GMOs. Solabia invested several years in cutting-edge scientific research to develop the product and fully explore the key biological and rheological properties on & in the skin.
Our company always relies on the deep mastery of a strain’s behavioural properties. Thus, the innovation of Fucogel® lead to an in-company PhD thesis on the composition of Fucogel® and its complex rheology guaranteeing the ultra-soft skin feel.  
 
Once realized and proven what kind of powerful active ingredient our team discovered, this unique strain was filed for a patent. Later, the strain deposit at the Institut Pasteur collection became official in 1995.
Ever since then the Solabia Group had the unique intellectual property rights for Fucogel® (Biosaccharide Gum-1) and could not be used by other parties. Today, the active counts 30 years without alteration but a lot of improvement in the knowledge of the biological properties of this active thanks to permanent research work and new biological tests.
