Methanotrophic microbes
Designed by nature to protect living systems in the harshest conditions of desert.
Protection is in our DNA
Our microbes evolved to protect themselves from harsh environments. We leverage their powers to work for soil, skin and the planet.

We are learning from nature and building a microbial platform to bring the benefits to you in three markets:

Our microbes evolved to protect themselves. We put the molecules they produce to work for soil, skin and the planet.

Soil

Methanotrophs restore soil to its natural rhythms, so plants withstand heat and drought with less water.

Skin

Methanotrophs produce a natural melanin shield that protects them in the desert environment from heat and radiation. We produce this molecule to apply it in skincare products to protect skin from UV and create natural skin shield against the envronment.

Planet

Methanotrophs feed on and capture methane, one of the most potent greenhouse gases.

The solutions to a hotter world already exist in nature.

We work with researchers, growers and formulators to bring nature's protection to market.
