Biotechnology and cosmetics have become inextricably connected in the first decade of the 21st Century as formulators search for ingredients that are not only novel, but developed in different, more efficient ways. According to Larry Rheins, column editor for Cosmetics & Toiletries magazine, "... the biotechnology revolution is here, forever changing how we interact with the world around us ... [and] at the end of the day will provide consumers with superior products for their ever-changing and special needs."
