Human-relevant skin biology that is difficult to model anywhere else.
Partnerships
Different partners come to Outer Bio with different questions: testing therapeutic candidates, evaluating skin safety, validating active ingredients, or exploring new mechanisms in human skin. We work with companies that need human-relevant skin data to make better discovery, development, and de-risking decisions. Let’s work together to advance skin health and skin biology.

Biotech
Test novel therapeutic candidates in human-relevant skin tissue, study mechanism and efficacy-related biology, and generate translational data before entering the clinic.

Pharma
Advance dermatology focused R&D programs, or evaluate dermatologic safety and skin-response biology earlier — including cutaneous liabilities associated with ADCs, targeted therapies, and other advanced modalities — in a human system conventional models often cannot fully capture.

Beauty and Personal Care
Access novel and differentiated active ingredients backed by biological insights and mechanistic data, or co-develop novel proprietary ingredients with proven efficacy in human skin.

Ingredient Suppliers
Differentiate your portfolio with mechanistic understanding – pairing your manufacturing and distribution expertise with our discovery platform.

Preclinical Solutions
Screening
Evaluate a large number of compounds, ingredients, or materials to quickly identify lead candidates

Efficacy
Perform long-duration studies of up to four weeks across a diverse set of donors to demonstrate skin health benefit.

Claim Development Support
Mechanistic evidence in human tissue to guide which claims are worth pursuing and to inform the design of the clinical work that substantiates them.

Safety and Toxicity Assessment
Characterize a compound's safety profile in human tissue: predicting potential risks, identifying adverse effects, mapping dose-response relationships, and informing safe exposure levels.

Discovery
Collaborative programs to identify and validate novel actives for specific targets or intended claims

Custom Research
Tailored research and data analysis aligned to shared interest

The hardest questions in skin biology are the ones we’re built to answer.
