Biotechnology company ÄIO secures €1M to develop greener alternatives to unethical and polluting oils in cosmetics products

▤ Summary

ÄIO secured €1M in government-backed grant funding to advance fermentation-derived alternatives to palm oil, coconut oil, mineral oils, and other unsustainable ingredients. The company will use the funding for a three-year research and development project focused on cosmetic and personal care applications. ÄIO says its yeast-based oils offer better traceability, lower land and water use, and a cleaner supply-chain profile than conventional oils. The company is already sending samples to cosmetic producers and is in active discussions with manufacturers as it prepares for commercialization and future fundraising.
