Make to Care è nato nel 2016 proprio dalla collaborazione con Maker Faire Rome che da subito ha accolto con entusiasmo la nostra volontà di raccogliere idee che potessero migliorare il quotidiano di chi con coraggio affronta una qualche forma di disabilità. Idee che nascono fuori dai contesti classici dell’innovazione. Negli anni, insieme, abbiamo raccolto centinaia di progetti e prototipi, abbiamo dato voce a spunti davvero rivoluzionari, intercettando, mappando e alimentando l’ecosistema della Patient-driven-Innovation.

Eco-sustainable cosmetic product from waste material
Design and development of an eco-sustainable cosmetic products from waste materials and formulated with completely green and vegan excipients and manufacturing processes. Production will follow the principles of a system based on the circular economy with minimal environmental impact. Starting from raw material, food waste and byproducts (i.e. grapes and pomegranates) active ingredients with a powerful antioxidant, anti-aging, soothing and moisturizing action will be extracted. Through literature studies and classical extraction experiments we have noticed that the greatest amount of active ingredients of these two species are concentrated in the residual waste biomass. Among these compounds, many of them have potential applications in various fields including cosmetics, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, proantocyanidins and vitamins. Thanks to the synergistic effect that is generated with the right composition of flavonoids and phenols in grapes and pomegranate, it is possible to obtain a powerful anti-aging, organic and vegan cosmetic product.

"Francesco Margheriti: Masters degree in Chimica e Tecnologie Farmaceutiche cum laude. I worked in Pharmacy with focus con cosmetic products. Thesis concerning of design and synthesis of anticancer drugs concluded with publication. Experience abroad where I dedicated myself to the small molecules test. Experience in the industrial field thanks to the production optimization work for Aenova. Currently I am enrolled to PhD program at the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa where I deal with active structural resolution and design of small molecules.
Marco Chianura: Masters degree in Economia e Direzione delle Imprese, major in Digital Management, at Luiss University of Rome in 2018. I had work experience both in structured firm and start-up. "
