Dermaplus’ mission is to design and manufacture sophisticated, high performance biomaterials for use in the cosmeceutical and personal care markets. The design of these materials is based on human genetic sequences, and can be customized to reflect the genetic makeup of human tissues, population groups or even single individuals. The Company is using proprietary technology to design and manufacture personalized biomaterials that have performance and marketing advantages over existing materials.
What We Do
DermaPlus focuses on primary anti-aging cosmeceutical products, incorporating
the tissue regeneration applications of its proprietary technology.
The basic genetic database of human biopolymers that give strength and elasticity to the lung, arteries, skin and other tissues can be accessed from the Human Genome Project. The Company will supplement this information extensively with a collected private database of genetic sequences from human tissues. This private database will guide the design of customized biopolymers such as elastin to increase their performance, strength, utility and appeal.

To manufacture the desired polymers in quantity, their design is incorporated
into custom synthesized DNA and the DNA introduced into green plants,
such as alfalfa. The plants read the introduced DNA and make the designed
polymer in the plant tissues in amounts of up to 1 gram per Kg dry weight
of plants. The plants are cultivated hydroponically, harvested and the
polymer extracted.
Sophisticated custom designed and manufactured biopolymers such as those developed by Dermaplus are currently not in personal care ingredients.
