barrier essentials for the chemistry curious

breaking the rules of clinical skincare

Hot, smart, and a little unexpected. We pair clinically proven ingredients and unique textures to create barrier-first formulas that are as fun to use as they are effective.

We’re on a mission to change the way science looks and feels in the beauty industry.

As chemists, we’ve seen first hand how beauty misinformation spreads and fear-based marketing can ultimately leave people feeling like they have to choose between products that work and products that feel “safe”.

By re-branding science into the cool and fascinating world it is, we’re helping the next generation of beauty-lovers tune into the science and tune out the misleading marketing.
