Opportunity Statement
Miha Biotech is seeking a high-purity, medical-grade natural oil suitable for use in advanced wound-care and skin-healing applications. The oil must be cleanly processed, fully traceable, and produced under strict quality-control standards to ensure safety and consistency for medical or therapeutic use. Miha Biotech intends to evaluate small sample quantities for research and formulation testing, with the potential for longer-term sourcing partnerships as development progresses.
Context
Miha Biotech is developing next-generation biomaterials that combine natural bioactive ingredients with advanced medical formulations. Copaiba oil has shown strong potential in therapeutic and skin-healing contexts due to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. However, most commercially available copaiba oil is produced for cosmetic or aromatherapy use and does not meet the purity, contaminant-removal, and quality-control standards required for regulated medical applications. Miha Biotech is therefore seeking high-grade, purified copaiba oil produced through controlled, transparent processes that minimize environmental impact and ensure sustainable sourcing from traceable resin suppliers.
Response Criteria
In Scope:
· Purified copaiba oil (>90% purity) suitable for medical, wound-care, or skin-healing research.
· Suppliers capable of providing R&D-scale sample volumes with consistent batch quality.
· Documented quality-control and analytical testing (e.g., GC/MS, contaminant screening).
· Processes that remove proteins, particulates, and allergens.
· Sustainable and ethical sourcing practices, including traceability and reduced environmental footprint.
· Transparency regarding processing methods, solvent use, and certification (e.g., organic, fair trade, or equivalent).
Out of Scope:
· Raw or unpurified copaiba oil intended for fragrance or general cosmetic use.
· Oils lacking verifiable purity data or sourcing documentation.
· Suppliers unable to demonstrate consistent quality control or ethical sourcing practices.
The Opportunity
Miha Biotech will collaborate directly with selected suppliers during early-stage formulation testing and quality validation. If purity, sustainability, and material performance are confirmed, suppliers may be considered for ongoing commercial partnerships as Miha Biotech advances its medical-grade product line toward clinical and market applications.
