In Massachusetts, J Biomaterials, a division of South Korea-based CJ CheilJedang and a producer of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), has produced the first cosmetic jar based on their amorphous PHA technology, under the tradename, PHACT. The cosmetic jar was developed for Banila Co. to hold its Ceramide Cleansing Balm, part of Banila Co.’s ‘Clean It Zero’ line of eco-friendly products. The Clean It Zero Ceramide Cleansing Balm was created as part of an agreement between Banila Co. and CJ CheilJedang to introduce more eco-friendly materials. The balm is made with ingredients derived from plants, while the ceramide component is extracted from seeds of the moringa tree. In addition to the PHA-based container, biobased materials were used to create an accompanying application spatula.
