At 29, I was diagnosed with melanoma. Caught early, thankfully; but years of tanning beds and bad sunburns had finally caught up with me. We just didn't know better back then.

In my forties, I went back to school to study aesthetics. I wanted to understand what actually worked for skin health, not just what was being sold.

Working in the industry taught me something frustrating: even expensive treatments only go so far. I watched women get temporary improvements, then return months later with the same issues. Irritation. Sensitivity. Skin that just wasn't happy.

We were treating symptoms, not causes.

Then I discovered hypochlorous acid; the same antimicrobial compound your body naturally produces to heal itself. It was being used in wound care and dermatology offices, but almost no one was talking about it for everyday skin health.

We started using it in the clinic before and after every treatment; microneedling, peels, lasers. The difference in recovery time and post-treatment irritation was remarkable.

That's why I created Biome Aid. No fancy packaging. No miracle claims. No $200 price tags.

Just products that actually work for hormonal skin.
