Measuring sustainability by what we do: the rise of activity-based impact - ECODESIGNCLOUD

Conférence

Sustainability in the cosmetic industry is evolving — and so must the way we measure impact.

For years, environmental reporting has relied on spend-based metrics: the more a company spends on packaging, logistics, or retail displays, the higher the presumed environmental footprint. But this outdated model hides reality — it makes the environmental consequences of everyday decisions invisible and prevents companies from identifying where change is most needed.

Today, the shift is underway. Industry leaders like L’Oréal are pioneering a move toward activity-based impact measurement — a more precise and actionable approach grounded in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and real-time data. This model enables companies to assess environmental consequences not just by what they spend, but by what they do — from product design to in-store execution.

At EcoDesignCloud, we power this transition with a platform that makes environmental impact clear, accessible, and actionable. Our real-time scoring tools allow teams across marketing, procurement, design, and sustainability to instantly evaluate and compare the footprint of each choice — directly when the decision is made.

In this session, you’ll discover how cosmetics brands, retailers, and suppliers can:

- Move beyond spend-based estimates to leverage accurate, activity-level environmental data

- Integrate real-time LCA tools into product, POSM, and retail marketing workflows

- Empower teams with intuitive, science-backed scoring to guide better, faster decisions

- Strengthen ESG reporting and reduce greenwashing risks with traceable impact metrics

- Foster a culture of decision-led sustainability, where every stakeholder becomes an active contributor to change

This shift is not just technical — it’s strategic.

By embracing activity-based impact management, beauty companies can optimize performance, reduce risk, and embed sustainability into the core of daily operations — in full alignment with the expectations of today’s consumers and tomorrow’s regulations.

At EcoDesignCloud, we turn invisible impacts into visible, measurable outcomes — because every decision counts.

Next-Generation Beauty: predictive formulation and made-to-order product personalization - PROSE

Conférence

The cosmetics market has become highly segmented, offering targeted solutions for specific concerns. However, these are often insufficient to address the diversity of consumer needs. A rising demand for personalized solutions reflects a shift in expectations: consumers seek responses tailored to their unique profile. At Prose, we’ve developed a new model that integrates data science, algorithmic and formulation expertise to deliver highly personalized, evolving beauty products, setting the foundation for a new era in cosmetic care.

• A data-driven formulation process:

Our approach starts with a digital consultation grounded in deep scientific knowledge of hair and skin biology. More than 85 key data points are collected, from physical attributes such as skin and hair types to lifestyle and environmental factors. These inputs are processed by proprietary algorithms developed in-house by formulation experts and AI engineers to generate personalized products and custom routine recommendations that precisely address each consumer’s unique needs.

• A fully personalized user experience:

Personalization extends throughout the user journey. Individual diagnostic scores identify key concerns such as scalp dryness, hair damage, or skin sensitivity. Products are further customized based on preferences (fragrance, vegan or silicone-free options). Our algorithms determine optimal ingredient combinations and concentrations to maximize efficacy. Each customer receives a complete personalized routine with detailed ingredient breakdowns, individualized usage instructions, and custom packaging.

• Review & Refine™: A feedback loop for continuous performance optimization: 

Our iterative feedback system, Review & Refine™, integrates customer inputs to adjust formulations with each reorder and reflect new or changing needs as well as preferences. This loop not only enhances individual satisfaction but also informs collective improvements to our algorithmic models through real-time A/B testing and ingredient experimentation. It enables us to anticipate and act on evolving consumer needs, and strengthen our ability to predict formulation adjustments that will improve performance. As a result, over 70% of users report higher satisfaction following product reformulation.

• Sustainable by design, made-to-order production:

All formulations are manufactured on-demand using a proprietary, fully automated production system that can produce over 60,000 distinct products daily. This model avoids overproduction and waste, offering a more sustainable alternative to traditional mass manufacturing, demonstrating that personalized production can be both scalable and efficient.

• Shaping the future of cosmetics through predictive innovation:

By combining scientific expertise with artificial intelligence, our approach redefines industry standards and introduces a new paradigm in cosmetics. It enables more informed product development, anticipates consumer needs, and delivers a highly personalized, sustainable, and sensory beauty experience, designed for long-term performance and continuous user satisfaction.

From Cosmetopeia to Circular Intelligence: Leveraging AI to Reinvent Sustainable Cosmetic Innovation - ME NOW !

Conférence

In a world demanding faster innovation with reduced environmental impact, predictive intelligence is becoming the cornerstone of next-generation cosmetic development. This presentation will showcase a pioneering AI-powered framework that merges deep learning, molecular systems biology, and circular economy principles to revolutionize how we discover, design, and deliver sustainable cosmetic solutions.

Central to this approach is a proprietary bio-intelligence platform, built upon a rich cosmetopeia: a structured exploration of traditional uses, ethnobotanical knowledge, and biodiversity-linked compounds. Combined with a molecular graph of over 2 million natural substances — including botanical extracts and agro-industrial by-products — this system uses deep Bayesian networks and QSAR modeling to:

1. Identify novel, high-performance bioactives rooted in traditional knowledge but validated through predictive toxicology, efficacy, and mechanistic modeling.

2. Predict synergistic effects, biological activity, and formulation behavior via AI-generated digital twins, reducing the need for exhaustive in vitro or in vivo testing.

3. Transform waste into value by mapping the bioactive potential of food and agricultural side streams, unlocking upcycled ingredients with multifunctional benefits.

4. Support traceable, eco-conscious decisions from sourcing to product launch, integrating AI-driven insights with biodiversity protection and regulatory alignment.

By combining cosmetopeia, circularity, and computational foresight, this approach offers a new blueprint for eco-designed innovation — where performance, heritage, and environmental stewardship converge to create the cosmetics of tomorrow.

How to valorise a bioresource ? 

One strategy is based on the knowledge of its molecular constituents. Greenpharma has developed a unique natural compound database (GPDB) containing molecules, organisms that produce them, traditional usages, biological data and biological targets. From GPDB, we created two prediction tools: GAINS, to predict the molecular content of an extract and SELNERGY, to predict the biological activities of the molecules. This triptych supports decision-making on the market positioning, the optimisation of an extract and finally accelerates the development of active ingredients. 

A case study will be presented.

Designing bioactive ingredients: predicting and unlocking plant potential through Precision Indoor Farming - ORIUS & NAEMOS

Conférence

This conference will be led by two speakers: one from Orius, who will discuss experimental plant cultivation methods, and one from Naemos, (an Orius client), who will talk about applications for the cosmetics industry.

Where do plant properties come from? Why do certain species naturally produce powerful active compounds like polyphenols, alkaloids, or terpenes—molecules highly sought after by the cosmetics industry? What if we could guide plants to boost the exact molecules we need?

In nature, this remains nearly impossible. There are simply too many unpredictable variables - weather, sunlight, nutrient availability etc.

Enter precision indoor farming, taking full control over the entire production process : from utilization of inputs like energy, water, and nutrients to the precise production of targeted bioactive compounds. Every parameter is precisely controlled and the environment fine-tuned to produce plants with extraordinary properties. For cosmetics brands, the benefits are clear: access to unique, high-performing, and consistently standardized ingredients — alongside a reduced carbon footprint and a controlled environmental and social impact.

Still, the factors that influence a plant’s metabolite profile are multiple and remain to be fully explored ranging from biotic stress (caused by living organisms) and abiotic stress (environmental factors such as temperature, humidity or UV radiation). Optimizing a plant’s chemical composition to increase the concentration of a target molecule—while also maximizing yield and inhibiting toxic or undesirable compounds—requires a complex and delicate balance.

Given the myriad of variables that interact in complex ways, it is practically impossible to test every possible combination of growth conditions through traditional trial-and-error approaches, which is why a rational approach to experimental design is essential.

To address this challenge, Orius has developed a predictive, experimental-based approach for identifying optimal cultivation conditions tailored to specific client goals. By leveraging experimental data—testing key influencing factors, a statistical model capable of predicting the most promising scenarios was developed.

To validate our in-silico prediction models, developed through computer-based simulation, we conducted several independent experiments implementing the optimal light and temperature parameters suggested by our simulations. Results strongly confirmed our predictions: temperature and lighting adjustments doubled total flavonol content in one case study, while optimized light spectra increased sinapic acid levels 4 times compared to non-optimized culture. Beyond these quantitative improvements, our environmental conditions induced the production of ellagic acid derivatives completely absent under standard conditions. This demonstrates that precise environmental modulation offers unprecedented predictability in inducing specific phytochemical profiles, while also enhancing existing compound yields and activating dormant biosynthetic pathways with previously untapped potential.

This presentation aims to showcase our data processing methods used to develop predictive models, highlight selected results and reliability, and illustrate a few practical application cases.

Specifically, in the development of cosmetic active ingredients, precision indoor farming technology allows to elicit from the plant its most potent bioactive compounds, triggering holistic and high-performing responses within the skin-ecosystem. Even more, precision indoor farming enables the controlled reintroduction of rare or neglected plant species that are no longer accessible through traditional cultivation methods.

Digital tools supporting sustainable cosmetic - AIMPLAS

Conférence

The cosmetics sector has undergone significant changes in recent years due to the evolution of consumer habits. Both security and current environmental problems are two critical aspects having a great impact on the cosmetic industry with a shift taken by consumers, concerned about safety and the ecological impact, and thus by stakeholders of this branch of activity. 

Currently, research and innovations in this area are being addressed towards more natural sourced and sustainable products, thus reducing the use of petrochemical components that might be harmful to consumers and the environment. Moreover, the current concerns are accompanied by legislative changes, like the change in the legislation on microplastics (regulation (EU) 2023/2055) aimed at restricting the use and generation of synthetic polymer microparticles. In addition, there is a need for the alignment of the sustainability concept between branches and consumers not only concerning the final product but also packaging. In this sense, the cosmetic sector has to meet with novel regulations aiming at stopping the continuous growing generation of packaging waste and their impact in the environment, and pushing the transition towards circular economy models, like it is the Regulation (EU) 2025/40 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 December 2024 on packaging and packaging waste.

An important key driver to manage the impacts of the cosmetics industry is the implementation of the sustainable by design concept, which can be supported by digitalization along the value chain. Thus, the use of digital tools will allow to predict, enhance and guarantee both security and environmental impacts, along with the economic sustainability. The developments and innovations through the utilization of software and computation tools for the prediction of lack information, such as Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) related with machine learning, will allow for instance, the prediction of toxicity for natural or biobased ingredients in cosmetic formulation, the design of new synthesis routes for raw materials such as green solvents, or the eco-design of sustainable and safe packaging.

AIMPLAS, the Plastic and Polymer Technology Centre in Spain, works in close collaboration with companies to develop new materials supporting QSAR models with a dual purpose: reducing the experimental tests by toxicity prediction and interaction between different molecules, and helping to feed the machine learning to improve it, such as in the on-going European SOLRESS project to develop new green solvents for the cosmetic industry. In the case of new ingredients, such as copolymers, crosslinkers, or novel microencapsulation materials, these tools have a great potential to predict the possible allergy on skin and ensure the security of the final consumers. Regarding sustainable packaging, the ECOSMARTPACK4.0 project introduces digitally traceable primary packaging to predict the stocks and control the logistics along the value chain, opening the window for reusable packaging as an alternative to single-use packaging, also predicting the carbon footprint reduction with multiple uses.

From skin omics to predictive cosmetic innovation: an AI-guided framework for bioactive discovery and precision cosmetics - BIOLEVATE

Conférence

In the search for next-generation cosmetic solutions, anticipating biological complexity is essential to designing products that are more effective, more targeted and more respectful of the environment. Traditional approaches are often inadequate when it comes to deciphering the molecular heterogeneity of skin disorders. To fill this gap, we have developed a generalisable AI-native transcriptomic framework that relies on large language models (LLMs) to analyse, structure and interpret multimodal omics data in a predictive and evolutionary manner.

Using keloids, a fibro-inflammatory skin disease, as a representative model, we integrated differential gene expression, protein interaction networks and dual-mode enrichment analyses with LLM-based synthesis. This modular approach enabled us to identify distinct molecular signatures (fibrosis, inflammation, metabolism, apoptosis, transcriptional regulation) and revealed biological architectures specific to the subtypes of the pathology.

Our pipeline links this knowledge to a wide range of biomedical databases to discover exploitable molecular hubs and repositionable bioactive compounds. This creates opportunities for targeted cosmetic strategies, from skin type stratification to precision formulation and repurposing of existing ingredients. Our work illustrates how AI-driven transcriptomics can transform skin data into predictive tools for innovation, sustainability and personalisation in the cosmetics industry.

Neurons as a sensor. Digitize biology to predict compound efficacy - NETRI

Conférence

Neurons transmit information within the human body. They process complex information in central nervous system or relay information from organs throughout the body via peripheral nervous system, they are natural sensors able to integrate biological information and transforming it into electrical data. 

NETRI leverages this natural process to digitize human biology. Using its Neurons as a sensor (NaaS) suite wich includes calibrated neuronal cells, Organs-on-chip hardware, AI-based software, digital libraries and methods. NETRI aims to demonstrate that the digital signatures (neural activity recordings) of different ingredients can predict their curing efficacy against pathologies (eczema…) or irritations or their toxicity. By extracting the digital signature and comparing it with a reference compound, it would be possible to predict the efficacy and/or mechanism of action of ingredients in our database. 

Our approach lies at the frontier between digital technology and biology. The unique and robust data generated will add an innovative approach to scientific publications. It will save time and increase sensitivity in high-throughput screening of active ingredient efficacy and toxicity, and reduce the risk of failure in clinical trials.

Next-Generation Beauty: predictive formulation and made-to-order product personalization - PROSE

Conférence

The cosmetics market has become highly segmented, offering targeted solutions for specific concerns. However, these are often insufficient to address the diversity of consumer needs. A rising demand for personalized solutions reflects a shift in expectations: consumers seek responses tailored to their unique profile. At Prose, we’ve developed a new model that integrates data science, algorithmic and formulation expertise to deliver highly personalized, evolving beauty products, setting the foundation for a new era in cosmetic care.

• A data-driven formulation process:

Our approach starts with a digital consultation grounded in deep scientific knowledge of hair and skin biology. More than 85 key data points are collected, from physical attributes such as skin and hair types to lifestyle and environmental factors. These inputs are processed by proprietary algorithms developed in-house by formulation experts and AI engineers to generate personalized products and custom routine recommendations that precisely address each consumer’s unique needs.

• A fully personalized user experience:

Personalization extends throughout the user journey. Individual diagnostic scores identify key concerns such as scalp dryness, hair damage, or skin sensitivity. Products are further customized based on preferences (fragrance, vegan or silicone-free options). Our algorithms determine optimal ingredient combinations and concentrations to maximize efficacy. Each customer receives a complete personalized routine with detailed ingredient breakdowns, individualized usage instructions, and custom packaging.

• Review & Refine™: A feedback loop for continuous performance optimization: 

Our iterative feedback system, Review & Refine™, integrates customer inputs to adjust formulations with each reorder and reflect new or changing needs as well as preferences. This loop not only enhances individual satisfaction but also informs collective improvements to our algorithmic models through real-time A/B testing and ingredient experimentation. It enables us to anticipate and act on evolving consumer needs, and strengthen our ability to predict formulation adjustments that will improve performance. As a result, over 70% of users report higher satisfaction following product reformulation.

• Sustainable by design, made-to-order production:

All formulations are manufactured on-demand using a proprietary, fully automated production system that can produce over 60,000 distinct products daily. This model avoids overproduction and waste, offering a more sustainable alternative to traditional mass manufacturing, demonstrating that personalized production can be both scalable and efficient.

• Shaping the future of cosmetics through predictive innovation:

By combining scientific expertise with artificial intelligence, our approach redefines industry standards and introduces a new paradigm in cosmetics. It enables more informed product development, anticipates consumer needs, and delivers a highly personalized, sustainable, and sensory beauty experience, designed for long-term performance and continuous user satisfaction.

From Cosmetopeia to Circular Intelligence: Leveraging AI to Reinvent Sustainable Cosmetic Innovation - ME NOW !

Conférence

In a world demanding faster innovation with reduced environmental impact, predictive intelligence is becoming the cornerstone of next-generation cosmetic development. This presentation will showcase a pioneering AI-powered framework that merges deep learning, molecular systems biology, and circular economy principles to revolutionize how we discover, design, and deliver sustainable cosmetic solutions.

Central to this approach is a proprietary bio-intelligence platform, built upon a rich cosmetopeia: a structured exploration of traditional uses, ethnobotanical knowledge, and biodiversity-linked compounds. Combined with a molecular graph of over 2 million natural substances — including botanical extracts and agro-industrial by-products — this system uses deep Bayesian networks and QSAR modeling to:

1. Identify novel, high-performance bioactives rooted in traditional knowledge but validated through predictive toxicology, efficacy, and mechanistic modeling.

2. Predict synergistic effects, biological activity, and formulation behavior via AI-generated digital twins, reducing the need for exhaustive in vitro or in vivo testing.

3. Transform waste into value by mapping the bioactive potential of food and agricultural side streams, unlocking upcycled ingredients with multifunctional benefits.

4. Support traceable, eco-conscious decisions from sourcing to product launch, integrating AI-driven insights with biodiversity protection and regulatory alignment.

By combining cosmetopeia, circularity, and computational foresight, this approach offers a new blueprint for eco-designed innovation — where performance, heritage, and environmental stewardship converge to create the cosmetics of tomorrow.

Valorization of bioresources beyond data - GREENPHARMA

Conférence

How to valorise a bioresource ? 

One strategy is based on the knowledge of its molecular constituents. Greenpharma has developed a unique natural compound database (GPDB) containing molecules, organisms that produce them, traditional usages, biological data and biological targets. From GPDB, we created two prediction tools: GAINS, to predict the molecular content of an extract and SELNERGY, to predict the biological activities of the molecules. This triptych supports decision-making on the market positioning, the optimisation of an extract and finally accelerates the development of active ingredients. 

A case study will be presented.

Designing bioactive ingredients: predicting and unlocking plant potential through Precision Indoor Farming - ORIUS & NAEMOS

Conférence

This conference will be led by two speakers: one from Orius, who will discuss experimental plant cultivation methods, and one from Naemos, (an Orius client), who will talk about applications for the cosmetics industry.

Where do plant properties come from? Why do certain species naturally produce powerful active compounds like polyphenols, alkaloids, or terpenes—molecules highly sought after by the cosmetics industry? What if we could guide plants to boost the exact molecules we need?

In nature, this remains nearly impossible. There are simply too many unpredictable variables - weather, sunlight, nutrient availability etc.

Enter precision indoor farming, taking full control over the entire production process : from utilization of inputs like energy, water, and nutrients to the precise production of targeted bioactive compounds. Every parameter is precisely controlled and the environment fine-tuned to produce plants with extraordinary properties. For cosmetics brands, the benefits are clear: access to unique, high-performing, and consistently standardized ingredients — alongside a reduced carbon footprint and a controlled environmental and social impact.

Still, the factors that influence a plant’s metabolite profile are multiple and remain to be fully explored ranging from biotic stress (caused by living organisms) and abiotic stress (environmental factors such as temperature, humidity or UV radiation). Optimizing a plant’s chemical composition to increase the concentration of a target molecule—while also maximizing yield and inhibiting toxic or undesirable compounds—requires a complex and delicate balance.

Given the myriad of variables that interact in complex ways, it is practically impossible to test every possible combination of growth conditions through traditional trial-and-error approaches, which is why a rational approach to experimental design is essential.

To address this challenge, Orius has developed a predictive, experimental-based approach for identifying optimal cultivation conditions tailored to specific client goals. By leveraging experimental data—testing key influencing factors, a statistical model capable of predicting the most promising scenarios was developed.

To validate our in-silico prediction models, developed through computer-based simulation, we conducted several independent experiments implementing the optimal light and temperature parameters suggested by our simulations. Results strongly confirmed our predictions: temperature and lighting adjustments doubled total flavonol content in one case study, while optimized light spectra increased sinapic acid levels 4 times compared to non-optimized culture. Beyond these quantitative improvements, our environmental conditions induced the production of ellagic acid derivatives completely absent under standard conditions. This demonstrates that precise environmental modulation offers unprecedented predictability in inducing specific phytochemical profiles, while also enhancing existing compound yields and activating dormant biosynthetic pathways with previously untapped potential.

This presentation aims to showcase our data processing methods used to develop predictive models, highlight selected results and reliability, and illustrate a few practical application cases.

Specifically, in the development of cosmetic active ingredients, precision indoor farming technology allows to elicit from the plant its most potent bioactive compounds, triggering holistic and high-performing responses within the skin-ecosystem. Even more, precision indoor farming enables the controlled reintroduction of rare or neglected plant species that are no longer accessible through traditional cultivation methods.

Digital tools supporting sustainable cosmetic - AIMPLAS

Conférence

The cosmetics sector has undergone significant changes in recent years due to the evolution of consumer habits. Both security and current environmental problems are two critical aspects having a great impact on the cosmetic industry with a shift taken by consumers, concerned about safety and the ecological impact, and thus by stakeholders of this branch of activity. 

Currently, research and innovations in this area are being addressed towards more natural sourced and sustainable products, thus reducing the use of petrochemical components that might be harmful to consumers and the environment. Moreover, the current concerns are accompanied by legislative changes, like the change in the legislation on microplastics (regulation (EU) 2023/2055) aimed at restricting the use and generation of synthetic polymer microparticles. In addition, there is a need for the alignment of the sustainability concept between branches and consumers not only concerning the final product but also packaging. In this sense, the cosmetic sector has to meet with novel regulations aiming at stopping the continuous growing generation of packaging waste and their impact in the environment, and pushing the transition towards circular economy models, like it is the Regulation (EU) 2025/40 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 December 2024 on packaging and packaging waste.

An important key driver to manage the impacts of the cosmetics industry is the implementation of the sustainable by design concept, which can be supported by digitalization along the value chain. Thus, the use of digital tools will allow to predict, enhance and guarantee both security and environmental impacts, along with the economic sustainability. The developments and innovations through the utilization of software and computation tools for the prediction of lack information, such as Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) related with machine learning, will allow for instance, the prediction of toxicity for natural or biobased ingredients in cosmetic formulation, the design of new synthesis routes for raw materials such as green solvents, or the eco-design of sustainable and safe packaging.

AIMPLAS, the Plastic and Polymer Technology Centre in Spain, works in close collaboration with companies to develop new materials supporting QSAR models with a dual purpose: reducing the experimental tests by toxicity prediction and interaction between different molecules, and helping to feed the machine learning to improve it, such as in the on-going European SOLRESS project to develop new green solvents for the cosmetic industry. In the case of new ingredients, such as copolymers, crosslinkers, or novel microencapsulation materials, these tools have a great potential to predict the possible allergy on skin and ensure the security of the final consumers. Regarding sustainable packaging, the ECOSMARTPACK4.0 project introduces digitally traceable primary packaging to predict the stocks and control the logistics along the value chain, opening the window for reusable packaging as an alternative to single-use packaging, also predicting the carbon footprint reduction with multiple uses.

From skin omics to predictive cosmetic innovation: an AI-guided framework for bioactive discovery and precision cosmetics - BIOLEVATE

Conférence

In the search for next-generation cosmetic solutions, anticipating biological complexity is essential to designing products that are more effective, more targeted and more respectful of the environment. Traditional approaches are often inadequate when it comes to deciphering the molecular heterogeneity of skin disorders. To fill this gap, we have developed a generalisable AI-native transcriptomic framework that relies on large language models (LLMs) to analyse, structure and interpret multimodal omics data in a predictive and evolutionary manner.

Using keloids, a fibro-inflammatory skin disease, as a representative model, we integrated differential gene expression, protein interaction networks and dual-mode enrichment analyses with LLM-based synthesis. This modular approach enabled us to identify distinct molecular signatures (fibrosis, inflammation, metabolism, apoptosis, transcriptional regulation) and revealed biological architectures specific to the subtypes of the pathology.

Our pipeline links this knowledge to a wide range of biomedical databases to discover exploitable molecular hubs and repositionable bioactive compounds. This creates opportunities for targeted cosmetic strategies, from skin type stratification to precision formulation and repurposing of existing ingredients. Our work illustrates how AI-driven transcriptomics can transform skin data into predictive tools for innovation, sustainability and personalisation in the cosmetics industry.

Neurons as a sensor. Digitize biology to predict compound efficacy - NETRI

Conférence

Neurons transmit information within the human body. They process complex information in central nervous system or relay information from organs throughout the body via peripheral nervous system, they are natural sensors able to integrate biological information and transforming it into electrical data. 

NETRI leverages this natural process to digitize human biology. Using its Neurons as a sensor (NaaS) suite wich includes calibrated neuronal cells, Organs-on-chip hardware, AI-based software, digital libraries and methods. NETRI aims to demonstrate that the digital signatures (neural activity recordings) of different ingredients can predict their curing efficacy against pathologies (eczema…) or irritations or their toxicity. By extracting the digital signature and comparing it with a reference compound, it would be possible to predict the efficacy and/or mechanism of action of ingredients in our database. 

Our approach lies at the frontier between digital technology and biology. The unique and robust data generated will add an innovative approach to scientific publications. It will save time and increase sensitivity in high-throughput screening of active ingredient efficacy and toxicity, and reduce the risk of failure in clinical trials.
