Traditional cosmetics can be harmful for nature and your skin. Natural cosmetics are an alternative that uses ingredients available in nature. But it can even go further than that. Did you know there are cosmetics that include skin-specific micro-organisms to contribute to the natural microclimate of our hair and skin? How do we design a production & usage system for these bio cosmetics?

How to Biodesign series

Climate crisis asks for regenerative design. With the meetup series How to Biodesign, BlueCity Lab provides a platform for and by bioneers (pioneers in biodesign). Together with various hosts Bluecity explores the opportunities from a systemic approach to raw material flows, making smart use of the latest knowledge and expertise about circular design, but also from biotechnology and biochemistry.

The monthly meetups facilitate interaction between bioneers who are already working and those who want to get started with biodesign and biofabrication, provide a platform for sharing stories and experiences and actively share knowledge, know-how and insights from the meetups to a broader audience.
