Geltor is a biotech startup that specializes in the design and production of animal-free proteins for use in beauty, wellness, and other industries. The company operates in the growing market of sustainable and vegan-friendly products, catering to consumers who are increasingly conscious of the environmental and ethical implications of their purchases.
Geltor's business model revolves around the use of biodesign and fermentation to create proteins that mimic the properties of animal-derived ingredients, such as collagen, but without the associated ethical and environmental issues. These proteins are then sold to manufacturers for use in their products, providing Geltor with a steady revenue stream.
The company's flagship products include Caviance™, a type II collagen for topical use, and NuColl™, a protein designed for hair care. Both of these products are made using precision fermentation, a process that involves using microorganisms to produce specific proteins, and are designed to offer a sustainable and animal-free alternative to conventional collagens.
Geltor prides itself on its commitment to sustainability and its ability to deliver novel, commercially-viable proteins with speed and accuracy. The company's integrated platform starts and ends with the needs of its customers, leveraging expert biodesign, fermentation, claim substantiation, and formulation know-how to create and deliver its products.
