It all began inside our Berkeley labs in 2003 where through biology and modern technology a plantderived cure for malaria was created. Since then over 120 million royaltyfree treatments have been given saving lives and communities. Inspired to keep positively changing the world through biotech we turned to the ingredients people use on their bodies every day. And we asked how we could do better. Drawing on our rich history of science and sustainability we create skincare products that are incredibly effective and safe without harming the environment.
