Arcaea is a company that combines biology and technology to create new product experiences for beauty, using what they call 'expressive biology'.

Arcaea

Arcaea (Ar-kay-uh). We're on a mission to build a new foundation for the beauty industry where biology as the creative tool for self-expression. We're growing new ingredients and product experiences for beauty through technology that includes DNA sequencing, biological engineering, fermentation and more.  By culturing industry-leading, safe, and sustainable ingredients, we intend to create a new supply chain for the industry that does not rely on petrochemicals or on harvesting and depleting natural resources while making products that can deliver new functionality and performance across skincare, bodycare, haircare, and aesthetics. Arcaea was incubated on the Ginkgo Bioworks platform under the working title Kalo.

Thank you to #NYSCC for this recognition of #ScentARC as the "Ingredient Maverick" of the year! Maverick represents someone who is independent and thinks differently than others, which is very much the Arcaea way. #expressivebiology #biotech #suppliersday2024 #microbiome #skinmicrobiome #deodorant

One thing we think everyone can agree on? Smelly armpits are no fun! Did you know that the science behind deodorant hasn't changed for over a century? Our mission is to view things through a biology-first lens that shifts the way products (you already know and use) work... like deodorant. 

Through biology - we now understand that only a specific subset of microbes are responsible for producing those smells we don’t like, which is why not everyone smells the same or has the same experience with deodorants.

Memorial Day means summer is around the corner! This means more time spent outdoors in the sun. At Arcaea we look at how biotech may help provide novel actives for protection and repair from the environment, including the sun 🌞 Through expressive biology we can make suncare truly seamless with skincare. Take a peek behind the scenes with our Skin Biologist, Zachary Lipsky . What are your biggest pain points with suncare products? And which ones are constants in your rotation?

We were happy to host the New England chapter of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists this week at the Arcaea offices here in Boston. Our very own Margaret Sullivan gave a presentation on our ScentARC technology. Thank you to all who came! #SCC #Biotech #beauty #expressivebiology #cosmeticchemistry

Biology can do what chemistry cannot. 

Through the process of sequencing genomes, biology has provided a profound understanding of the intricate blueprint that defines life. 

It's as if we've uncovered a comprehensive instruction manual for life itself, and with this knowledge, we can shape and influence microbes into tiny factories, brewing the compounds we desire, much like fermenting beer without having to extract from nature itself. 

With a biology-first approach, we're harnessing the potential of microbes to create ingredients that do things that were previously not possible, the result being exceptional beauty products. 

Embrace the future of beauty and let's redefine the meaning of beauty together.
