Superbiome Manifesto
The Problem
Good microbes keep your skin healthy.
Harsh washes clean them off.
Skin gets tight, red, and touchy.
So you buy more products to fix it.
The Research
So we studied the skin microbiome.
Thousands of skins, tested and tracked.
We learned what helps and what hurts.
Then we made it simple.
The Platform
We're a microbiome intelligence platform.
We match the right care to your skin.
A gentle cleanser is just the start.
Skin that relies on itself, not on us.

Join the culture.
Superbiome was started by three friends in a dorm room with a small research grant, a box of swabs, and classmates willing to hand over their face bacteria. Backed by physicians, Boost VC, LeapYear, and the University of Michigan, we’re turning washing your face into something that makes your skin stronger.
Cellular and Molecular Biology
At eight, Nathan survived a flesh-eating bacterial infection. Nearly a year of broad-spectrum antibiotics saved him, but wiped out his microbiome, and eight years of immune problems followed. So he rebuilt it himself: yogurt, kimchi, gentler skincare, and eventually research at Michigan, where he swabbed more than 200 of his own classmates. He told the story in the Wall Street Journal.
Biophysics and Machine Learning
Ron grew up with eczema and a cabinet full of steroids and prescription topicals. In high school he quit all of it, cold. His skin got worse before it got better, but he stayed the course on water alone, and it came back stronger than it had ever been. Years later, in immunology class, he finally understood why: he had let his skin’s ecosystem recover.
Chemical Engineering
Aarav grew up with chronically dry, sensitive skin and nothing on the shelf that helped, so he started mixing his own. That turned into a passion for chemical engineering. In the lab he built microscopic organs on chips, feeding human cells cortisol in the daily rhythm a stressed body makes it, and watched the answer: tissue rebuilds itself as soon as you stop attacking it.
We started Superbiome because each of us broke our skin trying to fix it. This is the gentler way.

The method
Fermentation transformed what you eat and drink. Now it transforms how you care for your skin. Microbes turn botanicals into compounds that support the barrier, calm visible redness, and hold hydration, in a form skin already recognizes. We figure out what your skin needs, so you stop guessing.
