C16 Biosciences

We are working with some of the most innovative brands and product manufacturers across the beauty, personal care and food categories to bring better solutions to their customers who are demanding them.Our partners are motivated to create performance-driven products that deliver for discerning customers who know personal health and planetary health are not in conflict and are both essential. High performance ingredients without compromise, made for the world’s leading consumer goods manufacturers. Ingredients are the backbone of beauty, personal care, home care, and food products, but current sources are vulnerable to supply (and price) volatility as well as consumer and regulator pushback.To power the next generation of consumer goods - products that are better performing and better for the planet - we developed a proprietary biomanufacturing platform to produce high value, high impact ingredients. Torula oil is a super-emollient that nourishes, repairs, and protects. Our biodesign platform provides targeted, designer fat and oil profiles that are safe, high performance, and natural. On top of that, Palmless™ ingredients offer functional benefits across home and personal care formulations. We’re a team of scientists, engineers, brand-builders, and entrepreneurs working to decarbonize products. We want to buy products that are good for human health and planetary health – so we’re taking initiative to build that future.
