Company details

Let’s talk DNA repair.

Within 5 minutes of being in the sun, the energy of the solar photons introduces a small crack in the DNA of your skin cells. It’s not a random crack, it wears down the bonds at the 2 weakest points. One crack is called “CPD.” The other crack is called “6-4.” These cracks go on to hinder all manner of cell processes in replication and transcription, compounding the damage for decades. 

In the anti-aging and beauty market, all of the products – from niacinimides to signal peptides – work on the downstream effect of the original cracks. 

Our new company, Antarka, discovered a class of enzymes that doesn’t take years to repair the consequences of those cracks. Antarka enters cells and repairs DNA cracks in minutes. It is the fastest DNA repair product in the world. 

Originally discovered on research expeditions to Antarctica, where microbes evolved strong defense systems to 24 hour sunshine, these enzymes enable a wide diversity of anti-aging formulations and products. 

Antarka has demonstrated in humans that their enzymes can reverse skin aging signs like fine lines and dark marks, in addition to working to prevent future damage. Already engaged with several global partners, Antarka has built up product inventory and is ready to commercialize immediately. They have manufacturing capacity for 300,000 units per month.

Don’t wait to repair your DNA.
