Humans have long used natural remedies derived from plants, animals, and their byproducts. This practice is rooted in a symbiotic relationship between humans and non-human organisms, as both parties benefit from each other's existence. However, urbanization and modernization have led to a decline in the use of natural remedies. The hustle and bustle of city life has disconnected people from nature, and many people now rely on synthetic and industrialized products. Modern pharmaceuticals have largely replaced traditional remedies and holistic healing practices. This project aims to revive the use of natural remedies by harnessing the potential of microalgae and bacterial cellulose. These organisms have a wide range of beneficial properties, and they can be used to create a variety of skincare and healing products. This project is rooted in the rich history of natural remedies, and it has the potential to provide a more sustainable and effective alternative to modern pharmaceuticals.
