Founded in 2023 by cosmetic chemist and UC Berkeley graduate Alanna Tran, BiotechBeauty bridges the gap between high-performance color cosmetics and microbiome-conscious skincare. Driven by Tran’s own struggles with acne-prone skin, the brand was built on the premise that makeup should not undo the work of a skincare routine. BiotechBeauty is defined by its rigorous, science-first approach, utilizing biotechnology to develop lab-engineered, vegan ingredients like fermentation-derived squalane and bio-designed collagen. The core product lineup—featuring the BiomeBlush, BiomeBeam highlighter, and BiomeBounce moisturizer—is formulated with over 83% skincare ingredients.
