BiotechBeauty 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 brand is redefining the industry by offering makeup products that 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 cosmetic chemistry. After gaining experience at 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.
BiotechBeauty introduces two science-backed essentials that redefine the future of functional makeup:
BiomeBlush: Multi-Stick for Cheeks + Lips with Prebiotics, Postbiotics + Polypeptides
Color meets cutting-edge science with BiomeBlush, a multi-stick that delivers a flush of dewy color while supporting your skin’s microbiome. This hydrating formula, powered by biomimetic jellyfish-inspired collagen, ceramides, and fermentation-derived squalane, is clinically proven to strengthen the skin barrier and support microbiome diversity in 14 days and increase skin clarity in 28 days. The result? A radiant glow that’s effortlessly your own. Available in 5 universally-flattering shades.
BiomeBounce: Plumping Moisturizer Serum with Prebiotics, Postbiotics + Polypeptides
Bounce back to healthy, glowing skin. Enriched with phospholipids, vegan collagen, and biotech squalane, this nourishing formula is clinically shown to support microbiome diversity and reduce transepidermal water loss within 14 days and increase skin clarity in 28 days. Lightweight and versatile, it’s perfect for both morning and nighttime skincare routines or as a base for a lit-from-within makeup look.
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.
With this launch, the brand leads the way in the next generation of makeup innovation, with exciting product expansions and retailer partnerships coming later in 2025.
