Our Why

We believe in inclusivity. We believe in health and wellness. We believe in sustainability. We believe in science. We believe in technology. We believe that all of these can be combined to create something amazing, and make our world a little better, too.

Proprietary Technology

Hexis Lab use proprietary technology including, AI techniques to facilitate the development of breakthrough products in skincare. Our products provide the benefits consumers have long aspired to for their skincare. Owing to the sheer biological complexity of skin, traditional research has failed to create such products.

Optimise and Accelerate

Our approach provides data to optimise and accelerate your skincare research projects. What is the impact of specific ingredients on key skin systems? Which ingredients in your compound libraries have an impact on skin and, what is the nature of that impact? Do your ingredients or skincare formulations alter the biological age or condition of skin?

New Science

New science is set to usher in a new era to the $1 trillion personal care market, providing enormous rewards to the owners. Hexis Lab’s technology provides unique insights that traditional research methods cannot, in the process creating market leading products. Unlike conventional in-vitro based screening in a laboratory, it does not take years or cost millions.

Engage

Hexis Lab can support you through: (1) Collaboration to create new products, to meet an unmet market need in skincare, and (2) Licensing of existing proprietary active ingredients, to be formulated into skincare products that deliver new capabilities.
