The World’s First Recombinant PDRN has opened new possibilities for skincare innovation. Its application in Uniproma’s PDRN Soothing Repair Cream has earned recognition in the Technology & Disruption category of the 2026 Laura Marshall Award for Innovation at SCS Formulate.
The achievement has brought attention to the potential of recombinant biotechnology to reshape how cosmetic actives are sourced, produced and incorporated into skincare.
Produced through microbial fermentation using recombinant biotechnology, recombinant PDRN offers an animal-free alternative to conventional animal-derived sources. Traceability, batch-to-batch consistency and scalable production make it particularly relevant to brands seeking innovative ingredients with reliable supply.
Uniproma translated this ingredient technology into its PDRN Soothing Repair Cream, combining recombinant PDRN with peptides, HPR, Ectoin and Centella Asiatica actives. The formulation is designed to help hydrate and soothe the skin, support the skin barrier, and improve firmness and the appearance of fine lines.
Presented by the UK’s Society for Cosmetic Science, the Laura Marshall Awards celebrate innovation across the personal care and cosmetics industry. The Technology & Disruption category recognises ideas that push boundaries and challenge established approaches.
Following selection by an independent expert judging panel, finalists showcased their innovations at SCS Formulate, where industry attendees explored the formulations and voted for their favourites.
For formulators and beauty brands, the recognition highlights the opportunities created when advanced ingredient technology meets thoughtful formulation design. Uniproma continues to support this connection through biotechnology-driven ingredients, technical documentation and application expertise.
