The NYSCC Suppliers’ Day 2025 concluded successfully in New York, USA on June 3-4. The event brought together over 900 raw material manufacturers and brands from more than 60 countries, attracting over 35,000 professional attendees. It served as a premier platform for industry professionals to explore market trends and establish business connections.
During the exhibition, Yucca Elements (referred to as Yucca) launched its fully bio-based retinol. Leveraging Bota Bio (referred to as Bota)’s cutting-edge bio-design and bio-manufacturing platform, this 100% bio-based retinol product delivers greater gentleness, stability, and efficacy versus conventional retinol. The product is now available for sample applications, with customizable all-trans retinol content ranging from 5% to 75% to meet client needs.
Additionally, Dr. Zhu Jie, Senior Director of Bota’s Strategic Marketing Department, was invited to deliver a keynote speech titled “AI-Driven Transformation in Bioactive Ingredients Development.” The speech showcased Yucca’s bio-based retinol developed using Bota’s proprietary AI technology. During development, Bota’s research team intelligently optimized key enzymes in the retinol synthesis pathway, significantly enhancing enzyme specificity and minimizing impurities. This led to substantial improvements in retinol yield and purity. Testing further validated the product’s exceptional mildness, culminating in a market-ready retinol solution that outperforms conventional alternatives in gentleness, stability, and efficacy.
Moving forward, Yucca is poised to lead sustainable innovation in personal care through its pioneering integration of bio-manufacturing and AI-driven research.
