Our Science

Lite -1

By harnessing the incredible power of biology, we are ushering in a new era of sustainable, high-performance color. Our innovative colours are grown by living microorganisms in resulting in hues that are both stunning and eco-friendly. Our colours provide a range of benefits that go beyond just their visual appeal. All drawn from many natural functions of our unique microbes like UV resistance and anti-microbial properties.

Using emerging technologies including synthetic biology and biofabrication, we grow our dyes in large bioreactors, a process similar to brewing beer. Our microbes turn waste products into clean colourants in a wide vibrant spectrum.
