Extended lead times, regulatory risk and impacts from geopolitical shifts.

Bio-Beauty - Future of Engineering Biology at SCI
This was a fantastic opportunity to see what is coming through in bio-based beauty, and to introduce people to our cocoa butter alternative, which is going down so well in cosmetics. The highlight was hearing from Jen Vanderhoven about the Bio-based and Biodegradable Industries Association and Cosmetics Cluster UK’s latest report on bio-beauty.

Hacksummit is the only place to be for food innovation
Hats off to the organisers - HackSummit 2026 was hands down the best conference we have attended a long time. Many familiar faces, with lots of new friends and acquaintances made too. Being able to show off some of the results of our reformulation work with a major high street cosmetics brand and getting a hugely positive response makes all the hard work worth it.

Sun Bear Biofuture in the Foodtech 500 for the second year running!
It’s a real honour to be recognised in the Foodtech 500 listing for the second year running. Based on a number of metrics the Foodtech 500 judges, selects and highlights the global food innovators to keep an eye on. And we fit right in.
Our Sustainability Mission
Palm oil was the original inspiration for Sun Bear Biofuture. It is a tropical oil responsible for over 500 million tonnes of carbon annually and is the third most impactful food humans produce, after meat and dairy. It is a great ingredient and has unique properties that have helped its popularity explode. Now we need commercially viable alternatives to tropical oils to enable the growth coming from our population expansion to 10 billion by 2050.
