SCIENCE PLATFORMS
Advanced Technology Platforms
Proprietary science designed to give beauty brands an edge.
Brand Labs USA develops advanced science platforms across biological systems, peptides, botanicals, adaptive formulation, and delivery technology. Used independently or in combination, these technologies help brands create differentiated skincare products with a stronger science positioning.
The 5 Hallmarks of Skin Aging
Skin aging is complex. Brand Labs USA organizes its visible effects into five key hallmarks:
Defense
Signaling
Energy
Renewal
Structure
These hallmarks provide a framework for connecting our advanced science with the visible changes beauty brands want to address.
ZERO-GRAVITY BIOSYSTEMS
NASA 3D biological systems for skincare innovation.
Brand Labs applies NASA-enabled 3D biological technology to the development of advanced skincare systems. Three-dimensional biological environments provide a different approach to developing complex biomimetic materials for differentiated topical products.
Areas of development include 3D cell culture, stem-cell-derived biomolecules, growth factors, extracellular signaling systems, and other advanced biological complexes.
MICROPRECISION PEPTIDES™
Precision-designed micro-peptides <500 Da for targeted skin performance.
MicroPrecision Peptides™ is Brand Labs’ platform for designing and developing ultra-low-molecular-weight peptide sequences for cosmetic applications.
The platform includes proprietary Brand Labs sequences, ongoing peptide development, and the ability to create custom peptide concepts for individual brands. Proprietary micro-peptides can also be layered with established peptide technologies to create differentiated peptide systems.
Relevant Hallmarks:
Signaling
Structure
ANIMAL-FREE BIOMIMETIC COLLAGEN
Precision-designed collagen-mimetic peptides <500 Da.
Not extracted. Not hydrolyzed. Designed.
Brand Labs has developed a patent-pending approach to collagen innovation built around animal-free, precisely defined biomimetic peptides designed below 500 Daltons.
Rather than starting with animal or marine collagen and breaking it down, we begin at the molecular level — designing discrete peptide structures for consistency, differentiation, and advanced topical development.
BOTANICELL®
Biomimetic botanicals developed beyond conventional extracts.
BotaniCell® is Brand Labs’ advanced botanical platform focused on bioactive compounds and biomimetic botanical systems rather than conventional commodity extracts.
The platform can incorporate targeted phytochemicals including gingerols, sulforaphane, polyphenols, and other plant-derived bioactives to create more differentiated botanical technologies.
SMARTCore®
Self-adjusting pH technology designed around the skin’s natural acidic environment.
The skin surface is naturally acidic, with a range of pH 4.5–5.4 varying from person to person. SMARTCore® takes a different approach to formulation by starting closer to neutral and then self-adjusting as it interacts with each individual’s skin environment.
Rather than imposing a predetermined acidic pH, SMARTCore® is designed to adapt toward the skin’s natural pH while minimizing disruption to the acid mantle. Maintaining this environment can help support pH-dependent enzymatic activity associated with barrier function, renewal, and overall skin performance.
ADVANCED LIPID DELIVERY
Liposomal, multi-lamellar, and lipid-matrix delivery systems.
Brand Labs develops lipid-based delivery architectures designed to improve how active ingredients are incorporated, stabilized, and delivered within topical formulations.
The platform includes liposomes, multi-lamellar structures, lipid matrices, and other vesicular delivery systems, allowing the delivery architecture to be selected around the active, formulation, and intended product experience.
BUILD A PRODUCT AROUND THE SCIENCE
Each science platform can stand alone or be combined with other technologies to create a differentiated product concept for your brand.
