Our Founding Story
Dr. Barbara Paldus

Our Code of Conduct
Proven Efficacy
Our claims are not just fluff, they’re facts. We conduct clinical tests and publish the data to prove how our products perform. You’ll see real results in your skin.
Uncompromising Sustainability
We minimize the environmental impact of every aspect of our operation. We are focused on being carbon neutral, cleaning plastic in the ocean, and protecting biodiversity.
International Compliance
Every country has their own cosmetics laws. We comply with those regulations and register with governmental health authorities wherever we are sold.
Patented Formulations
Our plant-based biotech complexes are not only patented, they’re disruptive: hydration (BiaComplex™), skin barrier protection (AntuComplex™) and our food-grade preservation (PreservX™). We innovate skincare breakthroughs.
Controlled Supply Chain
We know what’s in every tube, literally. We control the complete supply chain — from sustainable wild harvesting through pharma-grade clean processes and our airless packaging — to achieve the highest quality possible.
