ÄIO RedOil samples on the move
At ÄIO, every milestone brings us closer to reshaping how the world sources and uses fats and oils. One milestone we celebrate frequently, though it may look simple from the outside, is packing and sending samples to our partners around the world.
Recently, our team prepared a new batch of RedOil samples for testing in cosmetic formulations. These bottles represent something much bigger: years of research, successful scale-up, new regulatory steps, and the growing excitement around fermentation-derived ingredients across the beauty industry.
Why sample shipments matter so much?
For a deep-tech company, sending samples is more than a logistics task, it’s part of the scientific and commercial engine that drives us forward.
Every RedOil shipment means:
– another partner is beginning formulation trials
– another laboratory will generate real-world performance data
– another opportunity to collect sensory, stability, and compatibility insights
– another step toward validating safety and quality at commercial scale
These data loops are essential. The sooner we know how RedOil behaves in creams, cleansers, serums, balms, colour cosmetics or high-performance skincare formulations, the faster we can refine processes, validate functionality, and prepare for market entry.
And it’s not just cosmetics. We are continuously shipping our product samples also to food and ingredient manufacturers across the world for early sensory, texture, and application testing.
In short: samples move, feedback returns, innovation accelerates.
RedOil: a sustainable oil built for tomorrow’s cosmetics
RedOil (INCI: Rhodotorula Oil) is made through fermentation, using a proprietary yeast that naturally produces lipid-rich, carotenoid-rich oil. It offers formulators a renewable, traceable alternative to ingredients such as palm oil, petroleum-derived emollients, or resource-intensive fats.
We are fortunate to collaborate with over 120 partners globally across food, cosmetics, feed, and biotech sectors.
Sample shipments allow us to:
– build evidence across diverse applications
– test ingredients with real industrial processes
– gather early customer insights
– co-develop future products
– prepare for commercialization with market-ready data
But we’re far from done. ÄIO is open for new collaborations in both food and cosmetics. If you are exploring sustainable alternatives to palm oil, animal fats, cocoa-based ingredients, or petroleum-derived components, we would be excited to collaborate, test, co-develop, or pilot together.
Preparing for our A-round in Q3 2026
As we expand our partner network and validate large-scale production pathways, ÄIO is also preparing for the next major phase: our Series A investment round planned for Q3 2026.
See you at in-cosmetics Global 2026
As part of our cosmetics journey, ÄIO will be exhibiting at in-cosmetics Global in Paris! Stand 1A124, 14.-16. April 2026. We invite formulators, ingredient developers, R&D teams and brand innovators to meet us, test RedOil, and explore how fermentation can unlock the next generation of clean, sustainable beauty ingredients.
