Skinomics is developing the first skin-derived topical probiotic therapeutic for acne by comprehensively defining the human skin microbiome. They aim to provide antibiotic alternatives by leveraging the natural defense of trillions of commensal bacteria on skin. Their initial target is the $4.5 billion global acne market, with plans for expanded probiotic treatments for other skin diseases like eczema and psoriasis. Skinomics is seeking $1.5 million in seed financing to fund a proof of concept clinical trial for their acne probiotic and establish operations.
