Our Origin STory

Born from Biotechnology. Made Personal.

biomiq did not begin as a skincare company. It began with years of scientific research into inflammation, the immune system and the human microbiome, and a conversation at a biotechnology conference in San Francisco in 2018.

At that conference, biomiq CEO Mark Williams discussed the emerging science of skin microbiome dysbiosis, an imbalance within the skin’s microbial ecosystem, and the role it may play in skin health and acne. From that conversation came a deceptively simple challenge: could advanced microbiome science be translated into skincare that was not only effective, but simple enough to be delivered in a single-use wipe? That question became an obsession, and ultimately, a labour of love.

It was an ambition shared by Dr Carolina Salazar, Head of Innovation, whose scientific expertise and personal passion in skin health helped shape biomiq’s approach. Together with the wider biomiq scientific team, Carolina and Mark began exploring how a deeper understanding of the microbiome, inflammation and skin biology could inspire skincare that worked differently from conventional products.

What followed was years of research, development and determination: translating sophisticated biotechnology into skincare that could deliver meaningful results in the real world.

The goal was never to add another cosmetic product to an already crowded market. It was to make advanced science practical, effective and easy to incorporate into everyday life.

From that original challenge, biomiq was born, a skincare company built not from cosmetics inward, but from biology outward.
