introduces its revolutionary microbiome-friendly makeup line, seamlessly blending cutting-edge biotechnology with high-performance color. Founded by cosmetic chemist Alanna Tran, this clinically-backed makeup brand is redefining the industry by offering makeup products that not only enhance your glam, but also support skin barrier and microbiome health. With sustainable, bioengineered ingredients that nourish and protect the skin, BiotechBeauty eliminates the need to choose between great makeup, healthy skin, and caring for the planet.
BiotechBeauty’s journey began when Tran pivoted from pre-med studies at UC Berkeley to a career in cosmetic chemistry. After gaining experience at leading beauty brands like Biossance and L’Oréal, she combined her expertise in biochemistry and skin physiology with her creative vision to create a brand that merges clinically-effective skincare with non-comedogenic makeup. The formulas are clinically tested on all skin tones and types, including sensitive and acne-prone.
The debut launch of BiotechBeauty introduces a multi-use essential that redefines the future of functional makeup.
Color meets cutting-edge science with BiomeBlush®, a versatile multi-stick that delivers a buildable flush of dewy color while supporting your skin’s microbiome. This hydrating formula, powered by biomimetic jellyfish-inspired collagen, ceramides, and fermentation-derived, shark-free squalane, is clinically proven to strengthen the skin barrier and support microbiome diversity in just 14 days and reduce the appearance of comedones by 30% in 28 days. The result? A radiant glow that’s effortlessly your own. Available in 5 universally-flattering shades.
BiotechBeauty formulates using ingredients crafted through cutting-edge methods such as protein engineering and precision fermentation. These techniques enable the creation of potent, consistent ingredients that deliver exceptional results while remaining gentle on the skin. By sourcing high-performing biotech ingredients from controlled, resource-efficient environments, BiotechBeauty ensures safety and efficacy while reducing reliance on resource-intensive farming and animal-derived inputs—reinforcing the brand’s commitment to sustainability.
BiotechBeauty sets a new standard in clean beauty, demonstrating that skin-improving makeup should be scientifically backed, efficacious, and sustainable. With this launch, the brand leads the way in the next generation of beauty innovation, with exciting product expansions and retailer partnerships coming later in 2025.
BiotechBeauty’s debut product is priced at $38, available to shop at biotechbeautyus.com
