The indie beauty brand founder and long-time drug delivery specialist has, just this week, made her company’s silicon-based hybrid ingredient delivery technologies available to researchers working to develop antivirals and Coronavirus treatments.

As many cosmetics and personal care industry suppliers and manufacturers know, there is a fair amount of cross-over and shared technology between the medical business and the beauty business.

Dr Suzanne Saffie-Siebert, Chairwoman and CEO of SiSaf Ltd (a commercial stage drug development company), saw an opportunity in skin care for the same bio-courier technology that she and her team use in the pharmaceutical space.

And in 2017, she launched the Good Science Beauty brand. As Saffie-Siebert explains in her Indie Beauty Profile “Good Science Beauty is incubated by…SiSaf Ltd, a global research and bio-pharmaceutical company that develops bio-courier technologies for healthcare, crop care, and animal health. Good Science Beauty is a wholly owned subsidiary of SiSaf and has exclusive rights over our patented technology, Good Silicon+, which my team and I spent almost ten years developing.”

That indie beauty brand is known for its line of skin care products spanning masks, creams, exfoliants, and more; as well as for its crisp, brightly colored secondary packaging, reminiscent of the periodic table of elements.

SiSaf Ltd shares proprietary technology with COVID-19 treatment and vaccine researchers

“I’m keen for SiSaf to fulfil its public health obligation in addressing the coronavirus pandemic in as many ways as possible,” Saffie-Siebert says in a news item posted this week on sisaf.com.

Her company, she explains, “is uniquely positioned to support groups and help accelerate their programs, not only nucleic acid-based vaccine developers, but also groups exploring the use of antivirals and CD8 peptides for treatment.”

“Time is of the essence,” says Saffie-Siebert; “so I urge relevant health organizations and research groups to contact us. Then we can rapidly assess whether our technology can help and make our resources available on a not-for-profit basis.”

As she sees it, “the more approaches we explore, the better our likelihood of success to check the coronavirus challenge and prevent or manage future pandemics.”
