Born from a Belief that Beauty Should Be Personal
In 2019, Dr. Camille Renard—a dermatologist and computational biologist—watched patient after patient struggle with the same problem: a bathroom cabinet full of expensive products that weren’t right for their skin. She knew the science existed to do better. She just needed to make it accessible.
From a small laboratory in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, Camille assembled a team of cosmetic chemists, AI researchers, and formulators. Their mission: build technology that truly sees your skin, then craft formulations precise enough to transform it.
