Biotechnology is a science that applies knowledge from other sciences related to life to create products and services that are of human benefit; one area in which it is involved is the cosmetics industry to obtain, for example, active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, which is a natural glycosaminoglycan found in various tissues of the body and is produced from microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and algae to obtain products such as cosmeceuticals (cosmetic products that are mixed with drugs) to have a better appearance on the skin. The cosmetics industry is one of the most profitable industries since, according to a study, it is expected that by 2022 international revenues will increase thanks to the great impact that marketing has had in several countries around the world.
