01
Discover

10,000 virtual skin tests overnight. Each replacing a €5,000 Franz cell study. Our autonomous pipeline generates candidates, searches patents, simulates permeation, scores safety and commercial viability. 10,000 in. 5 breakthroughs out.

02
Patent

Every discovery becomes IP. Composition-of-matter claims covering the molecule, its series, and its applications. We build portfolios that generate royalties for decades.

03
Earn

Partners synthesize, validate, and sell. We collect royalties on every kilogram. One successful ingredient: €200K–5M/year. The discoveries compound. The royalties compound.

First Discovery
N-Octyl Nicotinamide Patent Pending

A prodrug of niacinamide — the $2.5B skincare active — engineered for 300× improved skin penetration. Releases niacinamide directly in the epidermis via skin amidases (t½ 5.2h). Discovered computationally. Validated by expert chemists. Entering synthesis.

Work With Us

Partner 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.
