From Research to Routine

Sweet Chemistry® was founded in collaboration with Xylyx Bio, a biomedical technology company focused on tissue engineering and organ rehabilitation. Together with Xylyx as our R&D liaison and parent company, we are passionate about creating highly effective products powered by research that saves lives.  

By infusing our cosmetic formulas with Xylyx Bio's novel regenerative technology that has been decades in the making, we create clinically-proven skincare that enhances your routine by delivering proven results.

Our mission

We Believe in the Beauty of Substance

While we can appreciate the allure of physical attractiveness, beauty is multifaceted and lies in the experiences we create and in the actions we take to have a life of meaning.

Beauty brands have a significant influence on societal norms and have a responsibility to promote the full spectrum of what it means to be beautiful. Through our research-driven innovations, formulation integrity, social impact work, and our growing community, we would love if you would join us on a mission to infuse a little more substance into the idea of beauty.

Our name

Why We Call Our Chemistry, Sweet...

Sweet Chemistry® is a tribute to our passion and respect for science because science has the power to heal and bring people together.

Our name embodies our philosophy: science as warm and life-affirming, not cold or intimidating. It's about seeking knowledge in a universe of the unknown. It's hard but necessary, frequently failing but never giving up. And every success is sweet.

"Chemistry" also refers to the connection between people - which in itself is a thing of beauty. Where science heals, art also has the power to bring people together, creating a bond, a sweet chemistry that can uplift and unite. We celebrate the artists and scientists whose work make the world a more beautiful place to be.

Our Approach to Aging

From jump scare aging filters, to 10-year-olds using retinoids to “prevent wrinkles”, it seems as if everyone is scared of aging these days. 

To us, aging is simply a biological process and our products are meant to slow it down to help you feel in control of how you age. With our roots in tissue engineering and cosmetic chemistry, we constantly strive to understand and explore aging holistically and our venture into the world of extracellular matrix is just the beginning.

Empowering Next Gen Innovators

We are passionate advocates of The Sciences and of The Transformative Arts and believe that they have the power to bring healing and comfort that goes beyond skin-deep.

This is why we donate 1% of our sales to programs that foster young scientists and artists so they can create a future where everyone feels empowered and comfortable in their own skin.

Our Commitments

We Were Told Not to be “Too Transparent” …

...but We’d Rather Stay Committed to Our Pledges.

There Is No Such Thing as Cruelty-Free 

Considering the beauty industry’s history, we believe that no product on the market can be truly “cruelty-free”. This is becausemany ingredients used in today’s formulas were once tested on animals.

Let’s Talk Product Prices

We understand that our products can seem high at first. Once we gain enough traction through higher production quantities, we are hoping to lower them by continuing to follow a dynamic pricing model. This way, we aim to become accessible to more people. 

How We Price Our Products

Instead of using market-driven retail prices, we simply add our operating margin on top of our cost of goods to come up with each product’s retail price. 

The Reason Behind Our Prices

So how come our products are more expensive than the average serum and moisturizer on the market? Allow us to explain with the help of our brand values:

We Do Not Chase Ingredient Trends 

Before adding ingredients to our formulas, we carefully consider their social, ethical & environmental impact.

Glass That is Lighter Than Plastic?

Despite being ultra-light, our bottle is made of carefully crafted low-weight Italian glass. It uses an average of 87% less plastic by mass than plastic airless packaging and is free of leachables like BPA and PFAS. 

All ingredients inside our airless glass pump bottle are protected from oxidation and minimally exposed to air thanks to a narrow stem and small plastic overcap that make sure all actives remain stable across uses. 

Our bottle’s low weight help us manage carbon emissions and the cartons we use to ship are made from post-consumer materials. Compared to virgin raw materials, this helps us save energy and ultimately conserves resources for everyone.

Our Social Responsibility Efforts

Empowering young thinkers & creators

Contributing to the Sciences and the Transformative Arts brings healing, meaning, and beauty to our lives, yet science and art education remains significantly underfunded for many youth.

That is why we donate 1% of our sales to programs that nurture young scientists and artists striving to create a more beautiful world. 

We are also passionate about supporting our parent company's dedication to discovering novel ways to repair and regenerate damaged human organs for transplantation.

Using our brand as a platform to bring awareness and advocacy to the work that Dr. John O’Neill, his team at Xylyx Bio, and their partners at Columbia, Stanford, and Vanderbilt University are doing, inspires us to grow Sweet Chemistry into a brand that helps redefine what beauty means.

YoungArts identifies exceptional young artists, amplifies their potential, and invests in their lifelong creative freedom. It envisions a world that embraces artists as vital to our humanity.

The iResearch Institute is a study program for high school students without access to advanced science education - founded by the godmother of science research, Dr. Serena McCalla.

They are wrong: It is character.”
