The presentation at the BEYOND Biohacking Conference introduced a regenerative skincare framework using Consortia Factors®, a technology derived from co-culturing yeast with plant stem cells. This approach leverages the signaling activity of stem cells and is supported by peer-reviewed research showing diverse metabolomes with antioxidant, anti-glycation, anti-inflammatory, and anti-senescence properties. An eight-week study involving 35 women demonstrated significant improvements in skin appearance, including lightening of age spots and enhanced skin smoothness and firmness. The framework emphasizes a signaling-based approach to skincare, supported by scientific mechanisms and research.
