§ Mechanism — The 72-hour compounding timeline

How a 90-second home test becomes a personalized 8-week regimen on your doorstep.

  1. 01 T + 00:00

    Sample at home

    A single-use microfluidic cartridge collects sebum and stratum-corneum cells from your cheek and jawline. Ninety seconds, no blood, no shipping refrigeration required.

  2. 02 T + 24:00

    Diagnose in the lab

    The cartridge is read at our Boulder 503B facility. We map your barrier integrity, microbiome diversity, and inflammatory markers against our reference library.

  3. 03 T + 48:00

    Compound the formula

    A compounding pharmacist writes your dose against a 41-ingredient API library — ceramide ratios, niacinamide strength, occlusive base — then batches a 56-day supply.

  4. 04 T + 72:00

    Ship, in carbon-neutral cold chain

    A board-certified dermatologist reviews flagged regimens before release. The box arrives in biodegradable refill pods. The first 8 weeks begin the day you open it.

§ Recurrence — The second bottle is not the first

Your second bottle is not your first bottle. The formula learns between refills.

Static "personalized" brands send you the same formula in a different bottle. We re-dose from the signal you're already producing.

Every morning, your phone asks a four-question skin diary — irritation, hydration feel, sleep, stress. The responses become telemetry that flows into the same 41-ingredient library your first regimen came from.

When your barrier integrity climbs, the occlusive base softens. When a new inflammatory marker shows up, the ceramide ratio shifts before you notice the flare. Seventy-one percent of subscribers see measurable improvement in their primary concern by week four.

§ The ask

Start with the test, not the product.
Your regimen is built from the result.

The first diagnostic kit is on us. Ninety seconds at your kitchen table. A compounded 8-week regimen on your doorstep three days later. No prescription required.

Inside the box: one microfluidic cartridge, a prepaid return mailer, alcohol prep pad, illustrated 12-page guide, and a code that unlocks your skin dashboard. Formulation begins the morning your sample is logged at the lab.
