Researchers are exploring the coastal resources of Peniche for the development of ingredients destined for the cosmetics industry. The project, called Salinexis, was born with the objective of meeting the growing demand from the sector for differentiating natural ingredients.
The initiative arises in the context of the valorization of marine and coastal resources as a source of raw material for different industrial applications. The researchers are studying the potential of the elements available in the coastal zone of Peniche for the creation of components that can be used in the formulation of cosmetic products.
The project is based on the premise that the cosmetics industry is increasingly looking for naturally sourced ingredients that stand out in the market. This trend has been driving research around coastal resources as a sustainable and differentiating alternative to conventional raw materials.
