The Concept

We wanted to create a concept that gathers together the whole project we have been working with. The purpose of the concept is to have a way to communicate with people about possibilities of synthetic biology. Skin care and acne turned out to be really good way to do that, because it is part of almost everyone’s daily life in a way or another and with it it was easy to build a bridge between science and people. The concept itself is simple and easy to understand. Our aim was to create purifying skin care product for people suffering from acne. Our primary of importance was to create non-toxic and safe product that doesn’t cause any environmental impacts, is easy to produce and simple to use.

Porifi - Purify your pores from acne bacteria

Our application for antimicrobial dermcidin is exfoliating skin care product made out of cellulose hydrogel. Important part of taking care of acne is to remove and exfoliate dead skin gently and purify the skin. Cellulose hydrogel is natural and non-toxic substance that could be ideal for store dermcidin in. By changing content and amounts of water and CMC it was possible to have different viscosities and feelings of hydrogel. By testing different kind of compositions we ended up using one with..

hydrogel sample

For exfoliating beads ideal material would be cellulose that dissolves in water as time passes but not too fast when product is stored and still under use. Dermcidin could also be bonded with cellulose based bead. In our product trial we used grinded peach stones.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text [2]. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
