When you’ve worked with hundreds of formulations, when you create cosmetics not just for yourself but for other brands as well, you start to see patterns.

Probio. Prebio. Neuro.
To me, these are no longer buzzwords, trends, or niche concepts to explore. They’re the language of a new kind of skincare – one that truly works, because it considers the whole person. Not just the skin, but emotions, hormones, stress levels, circadian rhythms, sleep quality, and the way we live.
Skin is our largest organ, yet for years we’ve treated it as an afterthought.
We want it to be pretty. Smooth. Even-toned. Free from blemishes and dark spots.

Studying the microbiome was a turning point for me.
Suddenly, skin stopped being a “surface” and started to look like a garden: a microscopic, complex ecosystem full of bacteria that don’t just defend against pathogens, but also support ceramide production, regulate immunity, influence inflammation, and… even affect how we 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 in our own skin.
So why do we still pretend that glowing skin is just a matter of good makeup, water, and sleep?
It’s skincare that listens and responds.
