The skin microbiome explained. Your skin's ancientecosystem is disappearingdisappearing
U.S. adults now live with chronic inflammation.
Microbial diversity lost vs. hunter-gatherers.
Synthetic ingredients applied to skin daily.
Beneficial bacteria living on healthy skin.
A mass extinction is happening, and almost no one is talking about it.
Not of whales, or coral, or bees. Of the trillions of bacteria, fungi, and archaea that have lived on us, in us, and with us throughout human evolution — the skin microbiome among them. They have helped shape human immunity for as long as we have existed.
A century of antibiotics, processed food, and over-sanitization has hollowed out the microbial world we depend on. Most of what we lost can't be replaced by a single product. And the consequences are finally showing up in plain sight.
A future where care is quieter, and works.
We believe the future of skin health starts at the root, by restoring the microbiome, not stripping it.
The body isn't a battlefield to be sanitized. It's an ecosystem that's been quietly losing species for a century. Seventy years ago, antibiotics. Then ultra-processed food and antibacterial households. In 2020, COVID-19 quarantined a generation that was already the most socially isolated in history. The result is a generation of young people with more allergic reactions, more anxiety, more acne, and a new set of biological needs.
So we are building a different kind of company. Our mission is to provide best-in-class microbiome conscious care. We leverage AI, and in some cases at-home skin microbiome testing, to determine the best routine for each individual. We offer solutions that are near-free, as well as more in-depth options, depending on the case.
The future of personal care is quieter, more precise, and more personal. It starts by embracing your body's natural symbiotic organ and superpower: your microbes.
