The Brief

Xinhua News Agency reported that four frontier research achievements from Shandong Freda Biotechnology Co., Ltd. were selected for the 36th IFSCC Congress in Australia, marking the company's fourth consecutive appearance on the platform with nine total recognized achievements. After exploring hyaluronic acid and synthetic biology to synthesize royal jelly acid, the enterprise screened micro-organisms to find beneficial skin barrier bacteria suitable for Chinese skin types, advancing its standing in selected fields. The company's research team mastered key microbial fermentation production methods for hyaluronic acid, lowering production costs substantially and exporting the ingredient to dozens of foreign destinations. In manufacturing, the firm officially opened the Freda Smart Beauty Science and Innovation Park in 2021, establishing smart and transparent facilities within the cosmetics sector. The company is also accelerating outbound sales by shipping cosmetic raw materials to destinations including Europe, the Americas, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, while exporting finished brand items to the United States, Canada, Malaysia, and Singapore.

China context

Decades ago, hyaluronic acid had to be extracted from animal materials such as rooster combs and bovine eyes, requiring researchers to spend months searching across the country to secure crude materials before returning to laboratories for purification.
