At Stratum, we’re building the foundations for the next era of human skin health.
Using SkinSync™, the first AI platform dedicated to skin science, we translate deep biological insights into new skincare technology to powers tomorrow’s products.
We create novel active ingredients and formulations aimed at dermatology’s toughest problems from cellular aging to oxidative stress to hyperpigmentation.
Skin is the largest organ in the human body—and one of the least understood.
We all know skin is different across the body. The skin on our nose feels nothing like the skin on our elbow. But until recently, we haven’t been able to explain why on a quantitative level.
Because of this complexity, most skincare technology is built through trial and error discovery that takes years, costs millions, and often fails late — whether you’re a startup or a global consumer brand.
For the first time, Stratum has built the tools to study skin science at scale and use those insights to invent product solutions.
By understanding how skin varies across body regions and conditions — and what changes when skin breaks down through aging, inflammation, or disease— SkinSync™ speeds design of novel active ingredients and optimizes delivery of those ingredients through the skin barrier.
