History
Epicutis was founded in 2021 based on the research of molecular biologist Dr. Jeffry B. Stock at Princeton University, whose work contributed to the development of the brand’s product formulations.[1] The brand's initial product line, launched in 2021, featured ingredients including TSC and HYVIA.[1] In 2022, Epicutis introduced the Arctigenin Brightening Treatment (ABT).[4]
Products
The company markets a range of products, including a serum and a crème, that feature ingredients such as TSC, HYVIA, and Arctigenin.[4][1]
Epicutis's products are developed using compounds patented by its parent company, Signum Biosciences.[1] A notable ingredient, HYVIA, is a patented compound derived from chia seed oil. According to clinical studies, HYVIA has been shown to support skin hydration.[1][5][6]
