Matís is working on the project "Healing power of organic whey“. The aim of the project is to find a way to utilize an underutilized resource in a sustainable way, ie. Icelandic organic whey in skin care products. It is hoped that the research will lead to an increase in the value of whey and at the same time reduce natural disasters, as this product would otherwise go far into the sea.
The project involves a lot of novelty, but the properties of whey biomaterials will be examined in particular with regard to skin health. Cosmetics that contain organic matter from Icelandic organic whey would be a completely new addition to the cosmetics market.
The project runs from April to December 2018 and is funded by the Agricultural Productivity Fund.
The professional leader of the project is Rósa Jónsdóttir and the contact person is Halla Halldórsdóttir.
