Dr. John O'Neill, Sweet Chemistry Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Xylyx Bio, spent years using Matrikynes® to repair lung tissue. The work was published in the peer-reviewed journal Advanced Healthcare Materials. Skincare was never the plan. Regeneration was.
When Xylyx Bio's CEO Andrea suffered a severe head trauma, she needed thirty to forty stitches. As she healed, she asked John if anything from his research might help. She applied Matrikynes®. Her wounds healed with no visible scarring, and her skin improved in ways none of them expected.
John connected the dots: lung tissue and skin are both epithelial, so they might respond to the same repair signals. Matrikynes® sends those signals again, the way your body does when it rebuilds:
- Firmer skin, from renewed collagen
- Smoother lines and better elasticity
- A stronger, rebalanced barrier
Conventional peptide serums deliver a single synthetic signal. Matrikynes® deliver 315+ bioactive peptides from the living extracellular matrix. In an 8-week clinical study, Matrikynes® increased skin density by 15%, tracked by ultrasound and not just a customer survey.
