Faced with evidence that skincare and soap harms the skin microbiome, industry had a choice: solve the problem - or - try to make it less harmful and re-brand it as ‘microbiome friendly’.
As biologists, we decided to solve the problem. Actevna® is a biotech startup that’s re-inventing "modern" hygiene, starting with skincare.
The Biology Serum allows you to leave your moisturiser and routine behind, and lets your skin work the way that evolution designed for its health and beauty – in one product - for £2 a day.
Actevna® replaces what evolution never intended for your sophisticated, intelligent skin.

The forgotten needs and abilities of skin
Your skin evolved to maintain perfect balance through microbiome diversity—half of which is acquired daily from your environment.
Every day, your skin tries to rebuild its diversity, but soap and skincare — both disinfectants — strip away and kill back the microbiome with each use. Your skin becomes trapped in a cycle of damage.
The result? We've lost 50% of our healthy microbiome diversity. It's not gone forever — it surrounds us constantly. We simply can't hold onto it while using today's skincare and hygiene products.
Actevna breaks this cycle, allowing your skin to finally reclaim the environmental diversity it was designed to have.
Ideally, we'd do nothing to our skin - and use no products – but modern life makes that hard.
So we developed The Biology Serum™ as the alternative to skincare.
Designed to restore these environmental interactions of skin wellbeing. The Biology Serum also amplifies and protects what our skin needs. It’s evolutionary support for intelligent skin.

Dr Sean Moodley
Plastic Surgeon
"As a plastic surgeon, I know skin health is the first step for anti-aging.
I first used Actevna® on facelift patients post-op to reduce downtime, enhance results and reduce scarring.
It's been a total game changer for patients, and for me"Dr Gordon Cohen
Aesthetic Physician
"In aesthetics, I see the cumulative damage caused by skincare routines daily.
Actevna consistently delivers remarkable improvements to skin without any of the damage typical of a skincare routine — or even needing one at all."
Dr James Laporta
Cancer Specialist
"Chemotherapy leaves skin incredibly vulnerable to even the most 'gentle' skincare products that contain hidden irritants.
Actevna's unique approach has been a game-changer, offering hydration and an anti-inflammatory healing environment without the worry of irritation. It's gentle — and powerful".

How It's Better Than 'Skincare'

All skin needs for all skin types
Particularly sensitive types. It contains everything your skin needs, in one, intelligent skin-native product, saving you time and money. You won't have to worry about about separate day cream, night creams or under eye serums. Say goodbye to complex routines.
Works with skin's biology
We only use ingredients considered 'native' to your skin because they evolved alongside it over billions of years, and even made skin itself possible. The result is healthily-balanced moisture, visibly evened-out complexion and smoother texture.
Pro-microbiome
Intelligently tends the skin microbiome ecosystem and individual protective biodiversity by targeting harmful bacteria and nourishing helpful ones for visibly healthier skin. Unlike skincare, it contains no indiscriminate broad-spectrum anti-microbials that destroy all microbes.
Natural moistursation
The Biology Serum™ helps skin to breathe normally again so that its own natural moisturising factors can pull water from the air to hydrate for skin barrier health and suppleness. We don’t use smothering occlusives to “lock in hydration”, because these can make skin dependent.

Gentle yet effective biological power
Actevna® is clinically proven less irritating for skin than even purified water. It delivers active, anti-inflammatory biological power in a way that's totally native and gentle to skin. You won't have to worry about what's on the label.
Pro-regenerative
Our multiple anti-inflammatory & anti-oxidant components create a protective and suitable environment for skin’s natural regeneration.
"My ex-husband remarked on how great my skin looks.
Coming from him it's a massive compliment".

Under the Microscope
Less toxic than skincare
Preservatives are disinfectants that everything they touch, making skincare products safe to mass manufacture.
Unfortunately, they also kill your skin's delicate living cells and invisible microbiome. Even 'natural' or plant-based preservatives.
Uniquely, The Biology Serum™ is made so clean,
it doesn't need preservatives — a world first.
The results speak for themselves:

Cells all dead

Cells remain healthy
How We Make It Better Than 'Skincare'
Made By Scientists
Each vial of The Biology Serum™ is painstakingly hand-produced and filled by PhD cell and microbiologists in our biotech labs to ensure purity — down to the label being applied.
No Preservatives — Seriously
Our products are made in laboratories so clean that uniquely, they don't need any preservatives added to prevent bacteria or contamination. It's a remarkable world first, and your skin will thank you for it.
Cell-Safe
Unlike today's skincare, The Biology Serum™ is uniquely non-cytotoxic, meaning it doesn’t harm cells when applied to skin. Look at the scientific evidence here.
Active, Skin-Native Ingredients
