KERATINASE SKIN EXFOLIATION
ABSTRACT
Applying synthetic biology, our team addressed several skin concerns by devising a gentle skincare product. Compared to the traditional way: either chemical peeling or physical rub, we applied enzyme keratinase to safely exfoliate the skin. Our products, based on thorough research and empirical applications, guarantee the gentleness, exfoliating excess cuticles without destroying the skin barrier. A series of skin issues, like dryness, itching, and redness, will be, therefore, greatly relieved.To win this game, we are going to make the Keratinase skin exfoliation by utilizing gene edited plasmids to express Keratinase, a special protein which can exfoliate our face. Then we will purify these enzymes and put them on skin exfoliation.
TEAM
Our team is called XH-CHINA, which is found in May in 2020, and our leader is Blair. We form this team to participate in 2020 IGEM, a competition in synthetic biology. We are 12 high school students, this is a picture of our lives.
