AGI Dermatics

DNA is at the center of attention in the new world of skin. The genomics revolution has ignited a new concept of the integration of the skin's function with its genetic blueprint.
The passion at AGI Dermatics is skin photobiology, which is the study of biological effects of sunlight on skin. Within this field, we are dedicated to research on DNA repair, solar impact on the immune system, photoaging, tanning, and cell-signaling in skin.

We are the world leader in DNA repair technology and its application to skin care. We are also the world's foremost liposome manufacturer for skincare. Our ideas get transformed into products used by millions across the globe.

Our business was founded as a classic, one-man bootstrap operation in 1985. Circa 2006, we have a staff of 30. Early on, our focus was applications of DNA repair technology. Today, we are dedicated to developing the next wave of medications and treatment products for the skin, based on DNA science.
