Breakthroughs In Growth Factor Delivery and Oleosomes With Core Biogenesis —E.755

Inside the Bioidentical Protein Revolution: Core Biogenesis and the Future of Skincare

A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Biotech’s Role in Skin Innovation

In this insightful episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta welcomes Tony J. Abboud, Chief Commercial Officer at Core Biogenesis, for a rare deep dive into the biotechnology powering the future of skincare. With a strong background in biotech and biomedical technology, Tony brings a unique perspective on the science that drives ingredient innovation and how Core Biogenesis is leading a revolutionary shift toward plant-derived bioidentical proteins.

Biotech Meets Beauty

Tony shares his journey from clinical research to biotech and ultimately skincare, highlighting how he was drawn to the speed and potential of applying scientific discoveries to consumer-facing products. Unlike drug development, which takes years and billions in investment, personal care allows for relatively quick innovation cycles — as fast as 6 to 18 months from concept to shelf. This speed makes skincare an exciting playground for scientific minds.

The Problem with Traditional Protein Production

The conversation turns to how Core Biogenesis is addressing the inefficiencies of traditional protein manufacturing methods. Historically, proteins and peptides for skincare were either harvested from human stem cells — raising ethical and safety concerns — or produced through expensive fermentation methods that come with heavy environmental costs. Core Biogenesis takes a different route, using plants like camelina sativa as natural bioreactors to produce high-purity, bioidentical proteins.

Why Bioidentical Proteins Matter

While peptides are trending in skincare, Tony explains that these short-chain amino acids are often synthetic and foreign to the body. Proteins, on the other hand, are the natural builders of our skin, responsible for repair, regeneration, and collagen production. Growth factors like EGF (epidermal growth factor) and FGF (fibroblast growth factor) are crucial to maintaining youthful, resilient skin — yet they naturally decline with age.

Bioidentical proteins, identical to what our bodies produce, offer a compelling solution. But they’ve historically been difficult to stabilize and deliver. That’s where Core Biogenesis has made its mark.

Oleosomes: Nature’s Delivery System

The breakthrough? Oleosomes. These micron-sized lipid spheres naturally found in oil-rich seeds act as protective carriers. Core Biogenesis has developed a proprietary method to fuse growth factors to the surface of oleosomes, improving their stability by 10X and enhancing skin penetration. In side-by-side testing, Core’s oleosome-bound EGF retained 93% of its activity after 12 weeks of heat stress, compared to just 8% for traditional EGF.

Real Efficacy, Real Results

Tony emphasizes that this innovation could solve the skincare industry’s efficacy problem — 90% of consumers are reportedly dissatisfied with the performance of their products. With more stable, bioavailable growth factors, brands can now deliver visible results within 14 to 30 days, rather than asking customers to wait 90 days with little to no change. For consumers, this could mean faster results, deeper cellular regeneration, and ultimately, a skincare experience rooted in real science.

The Takeaway

Core Biogenesis is paving the way for a future where active ingredients are not only more effective but also sustainable and biologically harmonious. Their approach to using plants as living bioreactors could redefine how the beauty industry sources and formulates high-performance ingredients.

For those seeking truly transformative skincare, bioidentical proteins may be the next frontier — and Core Biogenesis is leading the charge.
