Acne assailants
Fueled by a passion for tackling his wife’s recurring acne woes, research scientist Boon Chong Goh has founded ArrowBiome.
This Singapore-based startup recently raised $1 million in seed funding from Cocoon Capital. These microbiome mavens are on a mission to bring precision personal care to the masses.
Lysins to the rescue
ArrowBiome’s not messing around when it comes to targeting troublemakers. The company specializes in engineering lysins – proteins that selectively take down harmful bacteria while letting the good guys thrive.
By offering this precision solution to personal care companies and chemical manufacturers, ArrowBiome enables the creation of products with fewer side effects, as lower doses of active ingredients are required.
With the fresh capital injection, these microbiome masterminds plan to bolster their research and development efforts, forge new commercial partnerships, and extend their reach beyond the realm of skin science.
