At Parallel, we target well-aging and balance, grounded in science and innovation.

Watch our CEO discuss:
The Future of Precision Health

Like an ecosystem, your skin microbiome is diverse and abundant, inhabited by a unique community of bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

The balance of this community is deeply tied to your overall skin health and outward appearance.

A disrupted microbiome can lead to issues such as blemishes, redness, sensitivity, change in texture, and discoloration - all of which contribute to the signs of accelerated aging.

The future is Phage Icon phage

.

Phages are powerful microbes found in nature that selectively identify and eliminate pathogenic bacteria.

Powered by whole genome sequencing, our Precision Phage Platform enables rapid discovery and development of novel phage cocktails that uniquely address individual skin concerns.

Our mission is to unlock full potential of phages as personalised, precision therapies - replacing decades of antibiotic overuse and reactive, one-size-fits all treatments.

We've identified the specific strains of pathogenic bacteria that accelerate skin aging and exacerbate skin issues like acne, eczema, rosacea, melasma, redness, discoloration, and even body odor.

After conducting the largest, most diverse study on the skin microbiome, Parallel has defined 8+ distinct skin microbiome types, matched with distinct precision phage-based serums. Each serum has unique properties that promote balance and combat aging, specific to each skin microbiome type. Read our White Paper

What you get from your personal Skin Health Report

Interactive Health Report

Marketing Report
Skin Microbiome Type

Your skin microbiome type is determined by a variety of factors including your hydration level, skin microbial diversity, and microbial ecosystem makeup. It can alter due to lifestyle and environmental factors.

Skin Microbiome Age

Understanding your skin microbiome age can provide insights into the health and resilience of your skin. Factors like sun exposure, diet, and skincare habits can influence this.

Microbiome Diversity Score

A high diversity score indicates a balanced and healthy skin microbiome, capable of adapting to various challenges. Low diversity may suggest susceptibility to certain skin conditions.

Food Recommendations

Specific dietary suggestions based on your skin microbiome analysis to help improve skin health from within, focusing on foods that support beneficial microbes.

Skin Hydration Level

Assessment of your skin's hydration levels, crucial for barrier function and overall skin health. Recommendations will be provided to optimize moisture.

Top 5 Good and Bad Skin Microbes

An overview of the most prominent beneficial and potentially harmful microbes found on your skin, along with explanations of their roles.

Skincare Ingredients Recommendations

Personalized suggestions for skincare ingredients that would best suit your microbiome profile, helping you choose products that truly benefit your skin.

Your Phage Serum Recommendations

Tailored recommendations for a phage serum, if applicable, designed to target specific microbial imbalances for a more precise and effective skincare approach.
