Dionymer, a pioneer in industrial biotechnology, and Miyoshi Europe, a leader of powders and surface treatments in the cosmetics industry, are proud to announce a strategic partnership to bring Orya® Powder, a revolutionary biobased and biodegradable multifunctional powder, to cosmetic markets across Western Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).

• Orya® Powder is now available for large-scale commercial trials
• Miyoshi Europe to support the rollout across the EMEA region
• Co-development of new products

This collaboration marks a significant milestone in Dionymer’s strategy to expand its fermentation-based platform into cosmetic markets, while reflecting Miyoshi’s commitment to developing next-generation chemistry solutions that combine sustainability with high performance.

A Shared Commitment to Sustainability and Innovation

Under this partnership, Miyoshi Europe will leverage its established powder expertise, strong market insight, and customer-centric approach to support the commercialization and rollout of Orya® Powder across the EMEA region. The agreement includes both a distribution agreement and a joint development agreement (JDA), enabling the two companies to co-develop new products tailored to market needs.

Orya® Powder is a multifunctional, white spherical powder designed as a natural and biodegradable alternative to microplastics. It offers exceptional sensorial properties, as well as mattifying, SPF-boosting and compaction effects, making it an ideal solution for cosmetic formulators.

Dionymer’s fermentation-based technology and Miyoshi Europe’s commitment to sustainability and innovation create a powerful synergy. This partnership will enable both companies to accelerate the transition toward circular and biobased solutions, offering customers high-performance, sustainable alternatives to conventional materials.
