Overview

Our goal is to construct an engineered bacteria which named Gluconacetobacter hansenii ATCC53582 using synthetic biology and optogenetics. Under near-infrared light, the engineered bacteria can produce bacterial cellulose (BC). Under blue light, it can release glutathione (GSH) as well as bacterial lysate. The live bacteria skin care products will be made by using live bacteria preparation technology, so as to attain moisturizing, anti-spots, brightening, moisturizing, anti-aging, repairing, and maintaining skin microbiome.

Users

To implement our project in the real world, we identified our users through integrated human practices. They are mainly those who have relevant skin care efficacy needs and are willing to try new concept of skin care.

Envisioned usage

Product formats and methods of use

We envisioned two different formats of our products for the engineered live bacteria skin care product, which are bacterial emulsion and freeze-dried bacteria. The two product formats have different storage conditions and shelf life to meet different users' needs. (Please click Proof of Concept to see the protocols).

Method of use for emulsion

Usage scenarios

To meet different users' needs, we designed two types of illumination device for them.

This is a portable illumination device we designed. It can be folded, which means it is very convenient for users to carry and use when traveling.

The settled illumination device is relatively large, so the position of it is used in beauty salons, consumer's homes or other indoor places.

Micro-ecological skin care is well known as a new trend of skin care. Favourable effect coupled with good using experience can attract the users. The product form we provide is live bacteria emulsion or freeze-dried bacterial powder. We regulate the release of GSH and the production of BC film through light, allowing users to get the "freshest" GSH.
