Exchanging knowledge – boosting expertise
In 2022, Oriflame joined the GreenLeaFood Consortium to extract valuable components from green leaf biomass and agricultural waste in southern Sweden. The project aims to develop nutritious food products and cosmetic ingredients, reduce the ecological footprint of food production, and increase sustainability by evaluating side streams for local feed, biogas substrate, and biological fertilizers.
Oriflame and Probi® entered a partnership in 2022 to explore the potential of probiotics for skin and physical wellbeing. Our latest project was launched to discover the effects of oral probiotic supplementation on the skin, an area where research is lacking. As part of our ongoing partnership with Probi®, we also hope to explore the role of probiotics in the maintenance and diversity of a healthy skin microbiome.
Oriflame has formed a consortium together with Malmӧ University, Insplorion, and Cellink and MatTek of the Bico Group. The Consortium’s current project aims to provide a detailed understanding at the molecular level of the advantages of vitamins for skin and demonstrate the resemblance of 3D skin models to real skin. The project takes a holistic approach by employing cell model and physicochemical analysis to understand the effects of certain ingredients on skin barrier formation and function, and by combining in vitro and ex vivo methods to mimic real skin.
The University of Innsbruck’s research into ageing and regeneration utilises state-of-the-art omics and cell culture technology and aims to unravel the molecular mechanisms and networks implicated in ageing.
Oriflame’s Scientific Research and Technology (SRT) has recently begun collaborating with scientists at the Laboratory of Cellular Senescence and Skin Biology at the Institute for Biomedical Aging Research, University of Innsbruck to further research the science of skin’s longevity.
In 2022, Oriflame proudly announced the formation of an independent Scientific Advisory Board.
The board was established to support our scientists and experts by providing independent scientific advice on our areas of focus. It ensures that we stay up to date with evolving science and guides research to support our product development.
Dr. Marcus, a Professor of Pediatrics at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, researches obesity from prevention to treatment, including behavioral changes and early disease identification. He has published over 250 articles, conducted several large clinical trials, and advises multiple organizations.
Frida Fåk Hållenius, an Associate Professor of Molecular Nutrition at Lund University, Sweden, leads a research group studying how food affects the gut microbiome to prevent metabolic and neuroinflammatory conditions. She has 45 publications and has led many high-profile European research projects.
Dr. Egan, an Associate Professor of Sport and Exercise Physiology at Dublin City University, Ireland, leads a research group studying the synergy between nutrition and exercise from athletes to older adults. He has led many industry-academic studies on novel ingredients for physical and cognitive performance and recovery.
Our product formulations have an environmental impact during production, as well as during and following consumer usage. If not responsibly formulated, they may have a long-term impact on people and ecosystems both up and downstream in our value chain. This is why we need to take the right decisions regarding which ingredients we select as part of the formulation development.
Our product packaging has an environmental impact, both during production and disposal, and can contribute to the pollution of land and waterbodies downstream in our value chain, affecting ecosystems and local communities, including their human rights.
