What Makes Sweet Chemistry Different
- Build Collagen Without The Trauma
CURRENT PRACTICES
Most cosmetic treatments that promise to “build collagen” (ablative lasers, radiofrequency microneedling, bio-stimulatory injectables, etc.) have the potential to damage your skin, and in the process, create collagen in the form of non-functioning scar tissue.
> According to a survey by The Aesthetic Society, plastic surgeons are reporting that many of these treatments can decrease skin quality/function over time and make it more difficult to perform future invasive procedures.
SWEET CHEMISTRY PRODUCTS
Our products repair your skin and visibly restore dermal collagen in as soon as 4 weeks without causing damage, forming healthy looking, living tissue.
> This improves your skin quality as you age and allows you to stave off invasive procedures a little longer, should you desire them.
- Upgrade to Hundreds of Bioactive Polypeptides
Our polypeptides are not a marketing “complex”. They have been granted their own internationally recognized INCI name.
CURRENT PRACTICES
Artificial, chemically-synthesized peptides traditionally used in cosmetic formulas are singular solo performers and are thought to provide some regenerative benefits to your skin.
SWEET CHEMISTRY PRODUCTS
Sweet Chemistry formulas contain 3% Matrikynes® polypeptides derived from natural extracellular matrix.
> These proprietary polypeptides consists of over 300 natural extracellular matrix polypeptides, are highly bioavailable, and clinically proven to improve skin barrier function, skin barrier repair, skin density, skin hydration, hyperpigmentation, and global fine lines and wrinkles.
> Matrikynes® technology is also currently being used in some of the most advanced areas of biomedical research, specifically in clinical applications for organ tissue repair.
- Less Marketing, More Space for Actives
We love telling the stories behind our formulas. Just not “ingredient stories”.
CURRENT PRACTICES
Many dermatological and botanical actives you will find in conventional cosmetic products are formulated at marketing levels, sometimes referred to as “ingredient stories”.
> This means your favorite product may only contain around 0.01% of any given active ingredient. This percentage is all it takes for an ingredient to appear in the ingredients list and be marketed to you as a “hero” ingredient. (The above percentage does not refer to milder prescription strength actives like retinoids)
SWEET CHEMISTRY PRODUCTS
We use a modern, transparent approach to formulating: All of our dermatological active ingredients are included at functional levels, with our botanical actives at a minimum of 1% each. In our ingredient list, we’re also always transparent about our 1% line.
> For our Elasticity Reinforcing Cream, this means we formulate using 30% less water with antioxidants and actives making up 45% of our emulsion.
> For our Reparative Oil Serum Infusion, it means you’re getting a waterless serum formulated with powerful actives and efficacious botanicals each at a minimum of 6%.
- Botanicals & Preservatives That Keep Your Microbiome in Mind
Pesticides and preservatives are utilized to destroy living bacteria, not knowing the difference between good and bad flora. We limit your skin’s exposure to them.
CURRENT PRACTICES
Most traditional formulas use conventionally grown botanical ingredients that are exposed to some of the most potent pesticide residues and are preserved with the goal of maximizing long shelf-lives (average period-after-opening date: 12 months).
> While preservatives are essential in extending shelf-life and ensuring the safety of water-based products, they are often used in excess.
> Conventional pesticides have the potential to deplete your skin’s microbiome over time, harm farmers, soil, habitats, and other organisms, and also lead to the production of greenhouse gases.
SWEET CHEMISTRY PRODUCTS
Our botanical oils and extracts are not only certified organic and free from the most harmful pesticides but smartly protected and preserved without the need for excessive preservatives.
> This gives you the convenience of shelf-life (6 month period-after-opening) without compromising your microbiome or putting soil, habitat, or farmer health, at risk.
- The World’s 1st Airless Glass Packaging
Our packaging uses 87% less plastic and protects our actives so you get the performance you expect.
TRADITIONAL PACKAGING
Most airless bottles used for skincare are made from plastic. While the beauty industry is making an effort to use alternative materials such as glass, most glass used for beauty products tends to be heavier in weight than plastic packaging and therefore usually not the more eco-friendly choice.
> At the same time, relying too much on plastic packaging is damaging to our environment, oceans, and habitats.
SWEET CHEMISTRY PRODUCTS
Meet the world’s first ultra-light glass airless bottle: Aside from the small plastic pump/overcap, our packaging is crafted from lightweight Italian glass, so light in fact, some of our customers have even mistaken it for plastic.
> Using 87% less plastic by mass than plastic airless bottles, our packaging helps us control our carbon emissions. They have also been shown to protect actives from oxidation more effectively than plastic or glass dropper bottles.
> We also designed our bottle so you are able to dispense every last drop of product.

Bioengineering Is at the Heart, Lungs & Skin of What We Do
Aside from being our award-winning formulas’ defining ingredient, Matrikynes® are used in clinical applications in regenerative medicine: They were born from innovative research in organ tissue repair by Dr. John O’Neill, originally from Columbia University's Laboratory for Stem Cells and Tissue Engineering, and his team at our parent company Xylyx Bio.
Beyond creating this novel peptide technology we use in our products exclusively, Xylyx Bio develops biomaterials and organ support systems: From lifesaving surgical lung sealants, to advanced platform technologies for organ rehabilitation and transplantation, to helping discover novel cancer and fibrosis treatments.
8 Years of Research & Over $8 Million In NIH Government Funding
Originally used in clinical applications to repair lung tissue, Matrikynes® are a proprietary combination of potent bioactive natural matrikine signal peptides. Matrikine signal peptides have been shown to improve the structure, function, and appearance of skin.
• Increased Cellular Renewal By 336%
• Reduced Wound Size By 421%
• Increased Regenerative Gene Expression By 316%

The Origins of Matrikynes®
These matrikine signal peptides are derived from extracellular matrix (ECM), the essential, life-sustaining substance that surrounds every cell in your body. Without extracellular matrix, life could not exist.
ECM gives cells the ability to organize and communicate which signals your skin to regenerate and repair.
Finding Healing in the Extracellular Matrix
Skin tissue is made up of water, cells, and an essential substance called extracellular matrix (ECM). The ECM is made up of structural proteins you might be familiar with such as collagen, elastin, laminin, and fibronectin, and contain components such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, squalene, glycosaminoglycans, cholesterol, minerals, epidermal growth factors, and many other substances that are essential to the human body.
Skin ECM supports cell function and helps cells communicate, repair, and regenerate, which is essential for maintaining a healthy skin barrier. Over time, due to factors like sun exposure, stress, and aging, skin ECM starts to break down, resulting in a progressive loss of important ECM components like collagen, which eventually leads to the development of fine lines and wrinkles.
While traditional formulas use synthetic/artificial peptides to help rebuild collagen with some success, we also formulate with our proprietary, highly bioavailable matrix-derived polypeptides, which are derived from ethically-sourced, USDA-compliant, upcycled bovine bones the food industry would otherwise discard.
What makes bone the source of choice for our polypeptides is that it is a tissue with natural regenerative properties and an unparalleled reparative capacity.
Unlocking Unparalleled
Skin Health
To create Sweet Chemistry Matrikynes®, our scientists break down extracellular matrix proteins into skin penetrable peptide fragments using a process known as proteolysis.
As one of the defining actives in our products, these proprietary Matrikynes® polypeptides act as a signal that tells your skin to produce more collagen which helps increase skin density, and thereby reduce the appearance of fine lines/wrinkles. Matrikynes® also help maintain and improve overall skin texture, and firmness, as well as target redness, hyperpigmentation, and skin barrier concerns.
Rather than a marketing "complex", our technology ingredient has been assessed and granted its own internationally recognized INCI name and is patent-pending. This allows us to be the only brand to harness this technology in the world.
“Without ECM, Life Could Not Exist.
Plants Would Not Grow Tall, and Animals
Could neither Swim, nor Walk, nor Fly.”
