Project 01 · Digital Skin

Skin is the largest organ.
We made it computable.

247,861 molecules tested on digital skin — each one replacing a ≈€5,000 lab study. A model that synthesizes human skin and predicts how compounds behave in it, in silico.

Live simulation

The molecular skin journey.

Validated blind

It predicts what it has never seen.

Sixty-seven held-out compounds across six chemical classes, one model. Predicted permeation plotted against measured permeation lands on the diagonal — R² 0.84 against numbers it never trained on. Hover any point for its values.

How it compounds

Discover, patent, earn.

01 · Discover

10,000 in, 5 out.

10,000 virtual skin tests overnight, each replacing a €5,000 Franz cell study. The pipeline generates candidates, searches patents, simulates permeation, and scores safety and viability.

02 · Patent

Every discovery is IP.

Composition-of-matter claims covering the molecule, its series, and its applications — portfolios that generate royalties for decades.

03 · Earn

Partners synthesize, validate, and sell; we collect on every kilogram. One successful ingredient: €200K–5M a year.

First discovery

N-Octyl Nicotinamide.

Patent pending

A prodrug of niacinamide — the $2.5B skincare active — engineered for 307× improved skin penetration. It releases niacinamide directly in the epidermis via skin amidases (t½ 5.2h). Discovered computationally, validated by expert chemists, entering synthesis.

Work with us

We discover. You manufacture. We both earn.

We’re looking for manufacturing partners — cosmetic brands, ingredient suppliers, and CDMOs who can synthesize, validate, and bring novel ingredients to market. We provide the discovery, the patent, and the science. You provide the lab and the shelf. Royalties are shared.
