For investors

A yeast exosome platform for the next generation of anti-aging skincare.

Nanomère develops vesicles produced by the probiotic yeast Saccharomyces boulardii. We isolate them, load cosmetic actives into them, and prepare them as ingredients for formulators and brands.The approach combines fermentation-based production, a platform that adapts to more than one active, and a business-to-business ingredient model.Request the investor package

The opportunity

One production process. Several possible ingredients.

Some cosmetic actives are difficult to stabilise, to formulate, or to deliver effectively. Nanomère is developing a vesicle platform able to carry different classes of active on one technological base.

Each new active becomes a development programme running the same process: grow, isolate, load, characterise and test.

Validation

The process works at laboratory scale.

The founders are carrying out the scientific development in a laboratory at Concordia University.

  • Production and isolation of S. boulardii vesicles
  • Loading demonstrated with several classes of active
  • Characterisation methods established
  • Testing in human cells under way
  • Declaration of Invention in preparation
The model

We develop ingredients for the people who develop the products.

Our entry market is premium anti-aging skincare. We address formulators, development laboratories and brands.

01

Ingredient supply

Material sold batch by batch, for integration into a partner's formulations.
02

Co-development

A loading programme developed around a partner's active or product.
03

Licensing

Platform access in categories or territories Nanomère does not serve directly.
Why Nanomère

A platform built to create a portfolio, not a single product.

01

Fermentation-based production

The yeast can be grown in standard bioreactors from a renewable source.
02

Several active programmes

The same technological base can support several ingredients and collaborations.
03

Non-human origin

Our vesicles come from probiotic yeast, not from human or animal cells.
04

IP and know-how

A Declaration of Invention is in preparation. The production and loading parameters are also protected as confidential know-how.
The next milestones

From proof of concept to industrial evaluation.

  • 01Validate the biological activity of the first ingredients
  • 02Establish batch-to-batch reproducibility
  • 03Optimise purification and loading
  • 04Run stability studies in formulation
  • 05Produce the first partner batches
  • 06Start the first pilot programmes
The team

Two scientific founders who lead the development themselves.

Christopher Brett, PhD
Membrane biology and development of the vesicle platform.
Younes Medkour, PhD
Aging biology and biological validation of the ingredients.
Investor package
