In 2015, Dr Downs discovered that oxybenzone, which is present in popular sunscreen lotions, has a toxic effect on coral reefs.
Even at a concentration of 1 drop in 6 Olympic-size swimming pools. It has been estimated that every year more than 14,000 tons of sunscreens wash off people and go into reef areas only what increases coral mortality.
Pollution in the environment from chemical sunscreens result in a reduced resilience to climate change events, and even contribute to reproductively impaired organisms, including coral, fish, sea mammals and birds that can be locally extinct.
This research led Palau to be the whistleblower to ban certain sunscreens. Hawai, Mexico, Florida will be imposing similar restrictions soon.
Unfortunately, last scientific research showed that long term use of existing UV filters is harmful to the human body as well.
They may accumulate in human tissue and alter hormone levels by disrupting the endocrine system. Did you know that some substances in sun lotion that you trust may increase cancer risk?
Existing UV filters (TiO2, ZnO, OCR, OXY, BM, EHMC), that can be found in most popular UV protection products may cause DNA damage.
Only in 2018 - 1 billion of units of risky composed sunscreens were sold and 2,1 billion are expected for 2029. Each year tons of sunscreens end up on our skin and enter waterways. It means that WE ARE destroying marine ecosystem every single holiday.
This is just the beginning. So how to stop the pollution?
UVera is a fusion of innovation and interdisciplinary approach to UV skin protection. As a team of researchers and engineers, we are devoted to engage pure biotechnology to produce safe and effective UV protection. We aim to produce a substance which doesn’t harm any ecosystem or risk your health. All, in line with growing eco-awareness and Green Deal objectives.
UVera developed innovative technology of cultivation of microorganisms from polyextremal environments. We enable biomass production, stimulation and extraction of pure products on industrial scale, providing cosmetic brands with unique new compounds.
Our patent protected microorganisms produce natural UV protector with the greatest known UV protection rate. UVera developments was awarded by European Commission of Innovation as “Green Deal” technology. We are consuming tons of CO2 to produce our UV protector and generating O2 and fertile biomass as the by-products.
Our team creates a bridge between ideas and innovation, which is build out of interdisciplinary works of scientists and business developers from Poland, Spain, USA and Japan. We bring together subject experts in technologies related to microbiological culturing, process design, scale-up of new technologies, and translation of innovative ideas into commercial products.
