It’s just the start of Ten Bio’s journey…
A note from the Chair. I was introduced to Ten Bio’s founders in November 2019. I was immediately engaged by two things: firstly, the logic

Protective effects of antioxidant mix pre-treatment against visible light-induced damage in dark skin phototype
Visible light (VL) accounts for approximately 50% of the solar radiation reaching Earth’s surface and has emerged as a major contributor to skin photoaging and

Beyond clinical testing: Why molecular evidence is becoming essential for cosmetic claims
Clinical studies show whether consumers experience measurable product benefits, but they often cannot explain why. In this article, we explore how molecular evidence from ex vivo human skin models are strengthening cosmetic claim substantiation by connecting visible outcomes with the biological mechanisms that drive them.

Can AI improve predictive skin research?
Artificial intelligence is transforming skin research by uncovering biological patterns and predicting tissue responses from increasingly large and complex datasets. But AI is only as reliable as the biological data used to train and validate it. Discover why physiologically relevant human skin models remain essential for translating AI predictions into meaningful biological insight.

Longevity beauty in 2026: From anti-aging claims to biological evidence
Longevity beauty is reshaping the dermo-cosmetics sector, shifting the focus from traditional anti-aging claims toward biologically relevant evidence. As innovations such as peptides, exosomes and microbiome-focused technologies gain momentum, the challenge is no longer simply developing new actives, but demonstrating their impact on skin biology through predictive, human-relevant testing approaches.

From creams to complex molecules: The evolving science of topical delivery
Topical drug delivery has evolved from simple creams to increasingly sophisticated systems designed to transport therapeutic molecules through the skin. While many small molecules can penetrate the skin barrier, larger and more complex therapeutics present new challenges. In this article, we explore how topical and transdermal delivery is evolving and why human-relevant skin models are becoming increasingly important for understanding how new therapies interact with the skin.

Microneedle testing: why skin tension matters for human-relevant data
Microneedle technologies are advancing rapidly, but accurately assessing their performance depends on how closely test systems reflect real human skin. Preserving physiological tension is a key factor in generating reliable, human-relevant data.
