South Korea is one of the top ten markets for personal care products & cosmetics globally. It is known for the usage of gentle ingredients in its personal care products & cosmetics, which are chemical free. The innovations being carried out in personal care products & cosmetics in South Korea have led to a rise in demand for squalene, which is a natural and most efficient emollient available in the market.
The high demand for personal care products & cosmetics in South Korea that use squalene as an active ingredient has resulted in the killing of sharks as they are the most economical source available in the market for extracting squalene.
This led Amyris to collaborate with Dowell, a Korean supplier of personal care products and beauty ingredients, to distribute its sugar-based squalene, an alternative to animal-based squalene, in South Korea. This collaboration has led to the expansion of the distribution network of Amyris in Asia Pacific along with ensuring astable supply of squalene developed from sustainable raw materials for the company.
