Peptides are highly valued in the cosmetic industry for their unique properties and their ability to interact with specific biological receptors. For over 20 years, Lubrizol has been at the forefront of developing cosmetic peptides. However, traditional synthetic techniques may not fully align with today’s environmental sustainability goals.

Chances are, you’ve never heard of “extremophiles.” And unless you’ve got a pretty powerful microscope on hand, you’ve definitely never seen them, either. But these tiny microorganisms are quite abundant in extreme environments.
