Targeted Biome Bacteriolysis™: A New Antimicrobial Approach
Targeted Biome Bacteriolysis™ occurs when an endolysin peptidoglycan hydrolase effectively targets specific pathogenic bacteria while sparing unintended targets. This technology leverages the action of a bacteriophage to create an engineered endolysin.

Temporal Shifts in The Skin Microbiome Associated with
Disease Flares and Treatment In Children with Atopic Dermatitis¹
Disease Flares and Treatment In Children with Atopic Dermatitis¹
A Skin Microbiome Balancing Act
Healthy skin requires a healthy microbiome. But eczematous skin is often in dysbiosis: an estimated 80% of atopic dermatitis patients are overcolonized with S. aureus, a pathogenic bacteria that drives eczema flares. ², ³
Overcolonization is a moving target: it can occur on certain areas of the body but not others and recur over time. Addressing persistent microbiome dysbiosis is critical to restoring AD patients’ skin health.

Generational Skincare Inspired by Real People
AD patients’ skincare needs evolve as they progress through life. We are committed to creating products that improve people’s lives across generations.
Living Fully While Managing AD
Atopic dermatitis has a profound impact on quality of life. We believe skincare should help patients address eczema’s ramifications so they can lead fuller, more comfortable lives.
Our Formulations
We partner with leading researchers and dermatologists to develop products optimized for patients living with atopic dermatitis. All of our ingredients are intentionally selected to promote skin health.
-
Micreobalance®
Our proprietary endolysin that targets pathogenic bacteria, including antibiotic resistant strains.
-
Ethyl Macadamiate
An essential fatty acid derived from macadamia nut oil that prevents moisture loss. Allergy-safe: no nut protein present.
-
Jojoba Esters
A non-greasy emollient derived from jojoba that acts as an anti-inflammatory skin conditioner. Superior stability.
-
Glycerol
A hydrating trihydroxy alcohol that supports skin elasticity and barrier repair.
