DELAVIE SCIENCES
Today, we're diving into the world of Delavie Sciences with none other than Dr. Kyle Landry, one of the founders and the president of the company. For our new members and squads who haven’t heard his story yet, you're in for a treat! Let’s get into it.
Dr. Kyle, can you give us some background on you and how Delavie Sciences came to be?
Absolutely! My journey began during my postdoc at Harvard Medical School, working with David Sinclair. We were developing technology that eventually led us to collaborations with NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. While working on various projects like cleaning the space station and the Mars Rover, we discovered an organism that survived outside the space station for a year and a half. This organism showed remarkable resistance to UV radiation, which sparked the idea that it could make an excellent sunscreen or sun protection product. From there, we realized its potential in skincare, particularly in boosting SPF properties and activating the body's natural production of hyaluronic acid.
That's fascinating! So, what makes your gentle age-defying serum stand out?
Our serum contains a patented ingredient that not only enhances UV protection but also promotes longevity by stimulating your body's own hyaluronic acid production. Unlike other products where hyaluronic acid doesn't always absorb well or last long, our ingredient encourages your body to produce its own. This makes it far more effective and sustainable. Additionally, it activates DNA repair enzymes and protects against free radicals caused by UVA exposure, which leads to fine lines and wrinkles. Our serum not only prevents these signs of aging but also helps in repairing and maintaining skin health.
How did you ensure your serum is suitable for sensitive skin?
Great question! We conducted clinical tests on individuals with diagnosed sensitive skin, and the results were outstanding. The gentle serum retains our patented ingredient's benefits while being formulated specifically to be gentle and non-irritating. This means even those with sensitive skin can enjoy its age-defying benefits without worry.
Your product also promotes a healthy skin microbiome. Can you tell us more about that?
Sure thing. Our ingredient is a prebiotic that supports the skin's microbiome, which is essential for overall skin health. An unbalanced microbiome can lead to various skin issues, from acne to a dull complexion. By maintaining a healthy microbiome, our serum helps keep your skin clear and vibrant. It's certified microbiome-friendly, making it a comprehensive solution for skin health.
It's clear your products are backed by science. Can you elaborate on your approach to product development?
At Delavie Sciences, we are very intentional with our products. Every ingredient is scientifically proven and clinically tested for safety and efficacy. We prioritize clean and safe formulations, ensuring they meet high standards like being animal test-free, coral reef safe, and even seeking certification from organizations like the National Eczema Association. Our goal is to create products that are not only effective but also safe and environmentally friendly.
You mentioned a new ingredient and upcoming products. What can we expect next from Delavie Sciences?
We're excited to launch a new ingredient called HEC in our upcoming cleansers and toners. This ingredient is also backed by research from Harvard Medical School and promises to bring new benefits to skincare. Additionally, we're working on a mineral-based sunscreen that not only protects but also incorporates our patented ingredient's longevity and UV protection properties. It’s designed to provide comprehensive skin care, from prevention to active treatment.
It’s impressive that you’re still teaching while leading Delavie Sciences. How do you inspire your students?
Teaching food chemistry at Boston University, I encourage students to think beyond traditional boundaries. I urge them to understand the practical applications of their knowledge and explore innovative ideas. Many of my students have gone on to create their own companies or products, which is incredibly rewarding to see. I believe in leveraging scientific knowledge to create real-world solutions, and I hope to inspire the next generation of scientists to do the same.
What’s next for Delavie Sciences on a global scale?
We're expanding into Japan, Southeast Asia, and Australia. We're not just a cosmetic company; we develop our own ingredients, which gives us a unique position in the market. Our goal is to introduce our innovative and efficacious products worldwide, ensuring more people can experience the benefits of Delavie Sciences.
