OUR STORY
We didn't set out to be a skin care company
As scientists with PhDs in skin regeneration, stem cell biology, immunology, and bioinformatics, our journey began with a simple question: are any of the so-called anti-aging products on the market actually effective? To our surprise, most didn’t promote real rejuvenation. And evaluating them in the lab, we discovered some were even harmful at the cellular level.That’s when we rolled up our sleeves and got to work. More than 5 years of research and 900+ peptides later, we developed OS-01 – the first ingredient scientifically proven to reverse skin’s biological age. By targeting cellular senescence (one of the key drivers of skin aging) OS-01 switches off the damaged cells that contribute to lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.But our vision was never just about looks. We started OneSkin to enhance how skin functions, so it stays healthier and more resilient as you age. Think of it as a long-term fitness plan for your skin. As your body’s largest organ, it’s crucial to make skin health a part of your overall approach to longevity — one that we believe also includes nutrient-dense foods, consistent exercise, stress management, and mental and emotional health.Good health is about feeling unstoppable, inside and out. That’s what drives us. And through our rigorous R&D process, peer-reviewed data, passion for life, and insatiable curiosity, we’re redefining the expectations around aging, empowering you with the knowledge to decide for yourself and enjoy life without limits.

Our leadership team
Four scientists on a mission to redefine aging
01
Carolina Reis Oliveira, PhD
OneSkin Co-Founder & CEO
OneSkin Co-Founder & CEO
Fascinated with biology from a young age, Carolina knew she’d have a future in science. A fearless leader with a passion for longevity and living life to the fullest, she embarked on an ambitious goal — to delay the onset of age-related diseases by targeting aging itself. This led her to earn degrees in stem cell biology and tissue engineering, and a doctorate in immunology. Then, determined to translate her academic achievements into real-world impact, Carolina left her native Brazil for Silicon Valley, co-founding OneSkin in 2016. As Chief Executive Officer, Carolina and her team spearhead research and development, creating molecules that target cellular aging, including their pioneering innovation, the OS-01 peptide.

Alessandra Zonari, PhD
OneSkin Co-Founder & CSO
OneSkin Co-Founder & CSO
Alessandra isn’t your typical scientist. She’s a visionary with a passion for longevity, skin regeneration, and the occasional karaoke jam. Growing up in a close-knit family in Brazil, Alessandra saw her grandparents struggle with age-related diseases and soon became fascinated by the possibility of using stem cells to redefine the aging process. After earning degrees in biology and stem cell biology, and a doctorate in skin regeneration and tissue engineering, Alessandra joined OneSkin in 2017 as a founding member and Chief Scientific Officer. Her contributions include 20+ papers, 3 patents, and the development of their proprietary OS-01 peptide.
