It began in the nutrient-dense soil of South Georgia. Through a partnership with generational blueberry farmers, we gained access to harvest data that revealed an overlooked anomaly: the antioxidant potency of the fruit was not degrading in the field, but in the processing.
Our founders—a technologist and a wellness researcher—identified a critical gap. The farmers knew they held a superfood. The skincare industry knew they needed antioxidants. But the bridge between them was broken.
"Nature had already engineered the perfect molecule. Our job was simply to stop killing it."
The initial hypothesis was simple: if water is the catalyst for oxidation, remove the water. But traditional oils were too heavy, and powders were ineffective.
Anthos was born from a divergence in standard cosmetic chemistry. Instead of fighting oxidation with preservatives, we engineered a Deep Eutectic Solvent (DES) system—a "liquid glass" environment that suspends the active molecule in a state of timelessness.
We are not a cosmetics company. We are a preservation laboratory applying biomimetic principles to dermatological health.
