January 20, 2026 – Novobiom, a Belgian biotech company selected for L’Oréal’s sustainability innovation accelerator, announced the latest progress of its fungal conversion technology, which can transform waste textiles into high-value biosurfactants for the beauty industry, realizing the upcycling of waste.

It is reported that Novobiom’s biotech platform uses the natural decomposition capacity of fungi to convert clean and non-toxic waste textiles, cotton blends, and other scraps into biosurfactants. This ingredient can be widely used in beauty cleansing products such as facial cleansers and body washes, featuring both gentleness and environmental friendliness. Currently, the company has established cooperation with large industrial enterprises such as L’Oréal and participated in multiple EU-funded projects. Its technology not only reduces textile waste pollution but also reduces the beauty industry’s reliance on petrochemical raw materials, providing a new paradigm for the industry’s circular economy.

FAQ

How to find the right foundation shade for my skin tone?

Our beauty consultants will first analyze your skin undertone (warm, cool, or neutral) by examining the veins on your wrist and how your skin reacts to sunlight. We’ll then test 2-3 matching foundation shades along your jawline, blending them in to see which one disappears seamlessly into your skin—this ensures your foundation looks natural, without any obvious lines of demarcation.

How to make makeup last all day long?

Start with a hydrating or oil-free primer tailored to your skin type—this creates a smooth base and helps grip makeup. After applying foundation, set areas prone to oiliness (like the T-zone) with a translucent powder using a fluffy brush. For long-lasting color, use a cream blush or eyeshadow primer before powder products, and finish with a setting spray to lock everything in. Re-touch with blotting papers throughout the day to absorb excess oil without disturbing your makeup.

How to choose the right lipstick color for different occasions?

Daily/Office: Opt for muted, natural shades like dusty rose, peachy nude, or soft terracotta—these are subtle, professional, and pair well with light makeup. Date Night/Party: Go for bold, statement colors such as classic red, deep berry, or glossy plum to add drama and confidence. Special Events (Weddings/Brunch): Warm pinks, coral, or mauve tones are universally flattering, balancing vibrancy with elegance for a polished look.

How to do eye makeup for hooded eyes?

Focus on lifting the eye shape by applying a lighter eyeshadow shade all over the lid and a deeper shade in the crease—blend upward and outward to create the illusion of a higher crease. Use waterproof eyeliner along the upper lash line, keeping it thin at the inner corner and slightly thicker toward the outer edge to open up the eye. Curl lashes and apply 2-3 coats of mascara, or add false lashes with a winged shape to further lift the eyes. Avoid heavy eyeliner on the lower lash line, as it can make eyes look smaller.
