OneSkin is a skin longevity company.
Oliviera: “We spent 5 years [in] product development… trying to understand, if skin aging is a disease, what’s causing that disease?… What’s the target that we should intervene with?” [1]In OneSkin’s earliest stage, our founding team of PhD longevity scientists leveraged their expertise in skin biology and tissue engineering to develop a unique testing platform utilizing ex vivo human skin and MolClock - the first skin-specific molecular clock - to measure the biological age of skin. By utilizing this platform to test the efficacy of existing products and ingredients for their rejuvenating capabilities on human skin, our founders quickly discovered that most products didn’t affect the biological age of the skin - a problem they would eventually set out to solve.Oliveira: “What we realized during this process is that most of the products don’t really reverse the aging of the skin. They can improve the appearance of the skin, make the skin plumper, more hydrated but they’re not effective at rejuvenating the skin.” [1]This discovery led OneSkin to pivot from being a platform-based research company to a direct-to-consumer pioneer in the longevity space. Utilizing the same platform that allowed them to test existing products and ingredients, OneSkin’s founders set out to discover new molecules that could reverse the biological age of skin. Their goal? To develop a molecule capable of reducing cellular senescence - one of the nine hallmarks of aging and a key driver in skin aging in particular - thereby reversing the biological age of skin.
Senescent cell accumulation is a key driver of skin aging.
What makes peptides, and OS-01, so special?
OneSkin’s Proprietary Peptide: OS-01.
We are so honored!
- Dubbed “the father of biohacking”, Dave Asprey is a renowned pioneer in the emerging biohacking space.
- We are proud to announce that Dave Asprey recently invited OneSkin’s CEO and Co-Founder, Carolina Reis Oliveira Ph.D, onto his podcast, The Human Upgrade.
- The accumulation of senescent cells is one of the primary reasons we our skin ages, and OneSkin’s primary target.
- Though many topical skin care products contain potentially beneficial ingredients, a large number of those products have little to no influence on the skin, due to their inability to penetrate the skin barrier.
- OS-01 wasn’t a champion amongst 800+ peptides for nothing! Not only does it penetrate to the dermis layer to effect real change in skin, it also reduces the accumulation of senescent cells, and stimulates the production of important molecules for skin health including hyaluronic acid and collagen.
