Biotech company C16 Biosciences is debuting a torula oil-powered hair, body and face oil through its consumer-facing platform, Palmless.

C16 Biosciences’ Midtown Manhattan lab.C16’s search for a sustainable palm oil alternative ultimately led the team to the fungal kingdom, where they discovered an oleaginous yeast with the potential to produce oil yields commensurate to that necessary of a palm oil alternative — with a little help.

To further this goal, the company is launching its first consumer product, available for a limited time. Retailing for $45 for a 120-ml. bottle, the Save the F#$%ing Rainforest Nourishing Oil is designed to hydrate the face, body and hair, and is formulated with jojoba oil, meadowfoam seed oil, oat kernel oil and, of course, torula oil.
