ArrowBiome

ArrowBiome is a precision microbiome technology company that develops targeted actives designed to selectively eliminate bacteria implicated in acne and body odour while minimizing impact on the skin's healthy commensal microbiome. The company's two lead platforms — SmartArrow (a precision particle for acne) and ArcherZyme (a phage-derived enzyme targeting odour-causing bacteria like S. hominis) — have undergone gold-standard clinical validation and are commercially available for order. ArrowBiome's actives operate at ultra-low concentrations (as low as 0.01% in finished product) and are protected by a growing patent portfolio including MIT-licensed IP. The company's technology is adaptable beyond skin applications to scalp, oral, feminine, and gut microbiome use cases. ArrowBiome is actively working with global beauty multinationals and leading indie brands, with multiple commercial programmes past safety clearance and into formulation and pilot stages. The company received the in-cosmetics Asia Gold Award for its innovation.
