Innovation begins with discovery.
We go to the world's harshest places to find what nature has already perfected, bringing it back to protect skin, soil and the planet.
A story of discovery, innovation, and protection.
In the depth of California desert we found rare thermophilic microbes that had been protecting life in the harshest conditions for millions of years.
Participation
04
We work with nature and communities to protect the ecosystems we all depend on.
01
Grow more, with less.
Stronger roots and healthier crops from the same ground. Plants stay resilient through drought, growing well on as little as half the water. More resilient crops mean more dependable harvests in a harsher climate.
03
Protect human skin.
A natural melanin that shields skin from UV, visible and infrared light.
02
Reduce atmospheric methane.
Every application returns methane-eating microbes to the soil, pulling a greenhouse gas out of the air.
04
Protect marine life.
A sustainable melanin that replaces sourcing from cuttlefish and other sea animals.
Built by scientists.
A team of microbiologists, bioengineers and researchers, grounded in over a decade of science at San Diego State University.
Backed by science, built with partners.
We collaborate with leading research institutions and publish our work in peer-reviewed journals.
