Core Biogenesis has announced that Tony Abboud, chief commercial officer, has been awarded the Alan B. and Jeanette Black Award from the Society of Cosmetic Chemists (SCC).
This distinction recognizes outstanding contributions in sustainable formulation technology and was presented in connection with the SCC’s 79th Annual Scientific Meeting, taking place December 16–17, 2025, in New York City.
Abboud was selected for this honor based on his presentation, “Advancing Sustainable Bioactive Production: Leveraging Plant-Based Systems as Biofactories for the Personal Care Industry.” His work showcases how Core Biogenesis’ proprietary biotechnology platform is redefining the way high-value cosmetic ingredients are produced — delivering performance, purity and sustainability at scale.
