Aulixir™ Fermented Pro-Retinol
Aulixir™ by LCY Biosciences · Fermented Pro-Retinol
Inspired by Nature, Designed for Daily Use.
A naturally esterified retinoid — grown, not synthesized. Full strength from day one.
No step-up protocol. No compromise.
The Retinol Problem
Retinol is the most scientifically backed active in skincare. The category has spent decades engineering around its problems instead of solving them.
Irritation
THE PROBLEM
Conventional retinol triggers redness, peeling, and barrier disruption. The category has focused on managing side effects — not solving them.
OUR ANSWER
Aulixir is a naturally esterified retinoid — a structurally distinct molecule, classified non-irritant on skin and eye tissue. We didn't tune the dose. We rebuilt the molecule.
Compliance Friction
THE PROBLEM
Step-up protocols. Weekly dosing caps. Alternate-night routines. Decades of formulation work-arounds — and most consumers still abandon retinol before they see results.
OUR ANSWER
Aulixir is built for full strength, daily use from day one. No ramp. No rest nights. No compliance fall-off.
Mechanism • AulixirCore™
A new molecule, grown — not synthesized.
AulixirCore™ is LCY's patented precision-fermentation platform. Three steps. Living biology builds the molecule.
The INCI name has been assigned by the Personal Care Products Council: r-Arxula Adeninivorans/(Sunflower Oil/Retinol) Ferment Extract.
FEEDSTOCK
Start with a carrier oil — jojoba, sunflower, or your oil of choice. More than a vehicle, the oil is the foundation the molecule will be built on.
FERMENTATION
The oil enters AulixirCore™. A proprietary yeast strain consumes it during fermentation, esterifying Vitamin A directly onto its fatty acids. Living biology builds the molecule.
FERMENTED PRO-RETINOL
Out comes a naturally esterified retinoid — golden, stable, ready to formulate. Retinyl Jojobate, Retinyl Sunflowerseedate, or your custom fermented pro-retinol.
