About this funding
What's in this article In June 2025, every gram of Dot Ingredients ’ unique product was precious. Over two days, the company’s lab could make five grams of Naturdots™, a new cellulose-based ingredient for skincare and other products that helps oil- and water-based ingredients mix more effectively. But by December, after working with the Biotechnologies Group to scale up production, they had more product than they knew what to do with, says Dot Ingredients CEO and co-founder Dr Michael Fielding. After the Biotechnologies Group made a one kilogram run, the question became, do we actually have more than we can handle? Will they start to biodegrade faster than we can use them?” It wasn’t a problem for long. Dot’s team stopped making particles and started testing and optimising them, sending samples to companies here and overseas.
