As CEO of Microfactory, I lead a team of innovators at the cutting edge of cosmetic and skincare technology. Our portfolio includes groundbreaking advancements like Smart-Pore, U-Skin, and T-Skin, each redefining the possibilities in skin science.Our flagship, Smart-Pore, is the world’s first transparent artificial pore, enabling real-time visualization of interactions beneath the skin’s surface. Initially developed to reveal the impact of antiperspirants on sweat dynamics, Smart-Pore has provided unprecedented insights into how products interact with skin at a microscopic level. We are expanding its applications across cosmetics, skincare, and even pharmaceutical research, exploring new skin behavior and treatment efficacy dimensions.Alongside Smart-Pore, we’ve also developed U-Skin and T-Skin, advanced synthetic skin models capable of mimicking human skin functions with incredible accuracy. U-Skin and T-Skin simulate sweat and sebum production, allowing brands to assess product performance in record time. These technologies deliver insights equivalent to a full day of real-world testing in just one hour. From evaluating make-up resilience to analyzing skincare barrier effects, U-Skin and T-Skin are becoming essential tools for both R&D and claims substantiation in the cosmetic industry.I am always eager to connect with professionals, researchers, and collaborators who share a vision for innovation in skincare and cosmetic science. Let’s connect to explore ideas and drive the future of skin science together!
