CIA INVESTS IN SKINCARE COMPANY<br />
It’s a very unconventional partnership, but the CIA’s venture<br />
capital arm, In-Q-Tel, has invested in Skincential Sciences, a<br />
cosmetics company that uses a technology to take off a very<br />
thin layer of the skin.<br />
Skincential Sciences makes a line called Clearista, a<br />
resurfacing product marketed to erase blemishes and soften<br />
skin. According to their website, it works to re-texture the<br />
outer surface of your skin, leading to a reduction in the<br />
appearance of unsightly blemishes, roughness, and<br />
unevenness to reveal smoother, younger skin.<br />
While this may sound like a great at-home peel product,<br />
the technology used to take off the skin reveals unique<br />
biomarkers that can be used for a variety of diagnostic tests,<br />
including DNA collection in the process. Russ Leibovitz, the<br />
CEO of Skincential Sciences, told The Intercept, ‘If there’s<br />
something beneath the surface, that’s not part of our<br />
relationship and I’m not directly aware. They’re interested<br />
here in something that can get easy access to biomarkers.’<br />
‘The CIA interest in the company looks like it has to do<br />
with the ability to understand the microbial habitat of an<br />
individual,’ explains cosmetic chemist Kelly Dobos. ‘As the<br />
understanding of the human skin microbiome grows, we are<br />
learning that an individuals microbiome may be as unique as<br />
their fi ngerprint.’<br />
