Xylome
Xylome is a biotech company focused on developing sustainable, fermentation-based alternatives to palm oil and other fats. They utilize microbial oils produced through yeast fermentation to create high-performance, environmentally friendly lipids for use in beauty, food, pharmaceuticals, and biofuels. Their mission is to provide reliable, scalable, and sustainable lipid solutions that address environmental and ethical concerns associated with conventional palm oil production.

Fermentation-derived structured lipid (palm oil functional substitute)
A fermentation-produced structured lipid engineered to match the chemical and physical properties of RBD palm oil (solid at room temperature, melts at body temperature) with a tailored balance of palmitic and oleic acids for use across food, cosmetic, and industrial formulations.
Fermentation-derived single-ingredient cream base for cosmetics
A neutral, single-ingredient cream base produced via fermentation with high capacity to carry hydrophobic active ingredients; solvent-free and emulsifier-free, intended as a cosmetic moisturizer base.
Lipid-body topical delivery platform
A topical delivery platform based on purified microbial lipid bodies with larger diameters (~5–12 µm) to provide increased hydrophobic drug-carrying capacity, improved sealing properties, and smooth texture in topical formulations.
