The big bang for beauty brands seems to be never-ending. Month after month, brand new companies emerge out of the blue in your local Boots, promising to cater to your every cosmetic, skincare and scent-led whimsy. Celebs like Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Selena Gomez and even The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Lisa Rinna have even given things a go – to rave reviews too. But with an abundance of cleansers, serums and just about whatever else you could think of clogging the shelves and your online shopping baskets at all times, it can be a little daunting.

One brand who might’ve flown under your radar is Codex Beauty, a bioscience-led beauty company led by a global team of scientists, technologists, botanists, cosmetic chemists, dermatologists, and problem solvers who are leading the charge to utilize nature in its purest and most potent forms. At the head of this ground-breaking team is Barbara Paldus PhD, a doctor and research who’s setting an entirely new standard in organic luxury skincare (pack your bags Barbara Sturm!).

Founded in Silicon Valley, California, Codex Beauty is all about sourcing the most innovative and expert ingredients in the beauty realm, with Paldus traveling far and wide in her search for exceptionally pure and sustainable techniques to create her product line. “I realized that natural ingredients hold so much more potential, but the extraction techniques, stabilizing methods and delivery systems are not on the same level with what we have in the biotechnology or food industry community here and around the world,” Sturn explains of her motivations for starting Codex Beauty.

The result is a global community created by cherishing organic practices, science and pharmaceutical-grade processes. It’s like if your triple science teacher made a group chat with a teacher in every country in the world, aiming to cure all your cosmetic woes by exchanging specialist practices and beauty remedies, and then bottling it in the most refined way possible for cleansers, oils, serums or even an activated charcoal bar. Turns out science is actually very exciting, who knew?
