Founding Framework

BYOSOM was born from a structural observation:

Generic skincare treats individuals as averages.
Biology never is.

Key milestones:

Recognition of systemic limitations in mass-market skincare
Early hypothesis: personalization must begin at the genetic level
Iterative research across genetics, formulation science, and data systems
Assembly of an interdisciplinary scientific and technical team
Initial focus on women aged 25–70 as an exploratory cohort, acknowledging that early adopters are not necessarily the long-term core users
Alignment of market readiness with technological maturity (2025–2026)

Science Foundation

Genetic Marker Framework

BYOSOM analyzes curated groups of genetic polymorphisms relevant to skin biology, including pathways associated with:

collagen structure and degradation
dermal elasticity
oxidative stress response
pigmentation behavior
lipid barrier integrity
inflammatory predispositions

No medical diagnostics or disease claims are made.

From Genetic Insight to Formulation Logic

Genetic insights are used to:

identify predispositions
map ingredient families
determine intensity and balance
optimize ingredient synergy

Personalization Algorithm — GENYQ™

GENYQ™ is a proprietary, non-medical algorithmic framework integrating:

genetic inputs
formulation logic
ingredient synergy mapping
AI-assisted pattern recognition

Its purpose is to design individualized cosmetic formulations with scientific discipline and consistency.

Product Architecture

BYOSOM operates as a two-stage system, where personalization is enabled exclusively through genetic onboarding.

Genetic Onboarding

The process begins with a non-invasive DNA test, performed at home or through partner locations. Biological samples are analyzed in certified partner laboratories, and the resulting genetic data is interpreted using BYOSOM’s proprietary GENYQ™ algorithm.

This process generates a detailed, non-medical genetic skin report describing individual predispositions related to skin structure, oxidative stress response, barrier integrity, pigmentation behavior, and inflammatory sensitivity.

Genetic Onboarding and Personalized Product Supply

Only after this genetic onboarding step is completed does BYOSOM offer the second stage: personalized cosmetic products.

Based on the genetic analysis and formulation logic, each user may receive:

a personalized facial cream,
a personalized facial serum,

formulated individually according to their genetic profile and validated formulation rules.

Products are supplied on a recurring basis and intended for daily, long-term use.
Formulations may be adjusted over time in response to skin response, environmental factors, and ingredient tolerance.

Personalized product supply is not available without genetic onboarding.
This separation ensures scientific integrity, formulation accuracy, and responsible personalization.

Unique Value Proposition

BYOSOM introduces a new beauty category:

Genetically informed · Algorithmically designed · Individually formulated skincare.

Not a cream.
Not a trend.

A precision-driven biotech system.

1. Canonical Definition of BYOSOM

BYOSOM is an international biotechnology skincare company developing genetically informed, individually formulated skincare through DNA analysis, genetic interpretation, algorithmic personalization and cosmetic formulation science.

BYOSOM was created around a fundamental observation:

Human biology is individual. Skincare should be capable of recognizing that individuality.

Conventional skincare commonly groups people according to visible concerns, age categories or generalized skin types. BYOSOM introduces an additional biological layer by analyzing selected genetic variants associated with skin-relevant biological pathways and translating those insights into personalized cosmetic formulation logic.

The system connects four principal components:

DNA analysis → biological interpretation → GENYQ™ personalization → individual cosmetic formulation

BYOSOM does not use genetic information to diagnose disease or predict medical outcomes.

Its purpose is cosmetic personalization: to use biological information as an additional input for understanding skin and designing skincare for the individual rather than solely for a population category.

Canonical short definition

BYOSOM is a biotechnology skincare system that uses genetic information, algorithmic personalization and formulation science to create individually formulated skincare.

Canonical category expression

Genetically informed · Algorithmically personalized · Individually formulated skincare.

2. The Problem BYOSOM Addresses

Most skincare personalization begins with what can be observed externally:

age,
visible skin condition,
self-reported skin type,
questionnaires,
environmental exposure,
lifestyle,
imaging or diagnostic-style visual analysis.

These inputs can be useful.

They do not, however, represent the complete biological individuality of a person.

Two individuals of similar age and apparent skin type can differ genetically in biological pathways associated with oxidative stress, collagen-related processes, pigmentation, barrier function and inflammatory response.

BYOSOM therefore begins from a different question:

Before deciding what the skin needs, what can be understood about the biology behind it?

This does not replace dermatology, cosmetic science, environmental assessment or lifestyle information.

It adds another information layer.

BYOSOM describes this approach as biologically informed skincare.

3. The BYOSOM System

BYOSOM is not defined by a single cosmetic product or DNA test.

It is a connected personalization system.

The core workflow is:

Step 1 – Biological Sample Collection

A non-invasive cheek-swab DNA sample is collected by the client using an at-home collection kit.

Step 2 – Laboratory DNA Analysis

The biological sample is processed by a certified U.S. genetics laboratory.

BYOSOM currently utilizes Gene by Gene, Ltd. for DNA testing through its research center in Houston, Texas, United States.

Step 3 – Genetic Interpretation

Selected genetic variants relevant to defined skin-biological pathways are interpreted using BYOSOM’s scientific framework.

The analysis is non-medical and is not intended to diagnose disease.

Step 4 – Biological Skin Profile

The analyzed information is translated into a personalized Biological Skin Profile describing selected genetic characteristics and predispositions relevant to skin biology.

Step 5 – GENYQ™ Personalization

BYOSOM’s proprietary GENYQ™ framework connects interpreted genetic information with formulation logic.

Step 6 – Individual Formulation

For clients choosing personalized skincare, the resulting formulation logic is used to determine an individualized cosmetic formulation.

Step 7 – Biological Optimization

The system can continue beyond the initial formulation through ongoing skincare supply and optimization, while the person’s inherited genetic information remains stable and other relevant inputs may change over time.

The result is not a generic product selected from a traditional skin-type category.

It is a skincare system informed by the individual’s biological profile.

4. Scientific Foundation

4.1 Genetics as an Information Layer

DNA contains inherited biological information.

Genetic variation can contribute to differences between individuals in biological pathways relevant to skin characteristics and responses.

BYOSOM evaluates curated genetic polymorphisms selected through scientific literature review and expert assessment.

The current scientific framework includes pathways associated with areas such as:

oxidative stress response,
collagen structure and degradation,
extracellular matrix behavior,
pigmentation,
hydration and barrier-related biology,
inflammatory response,
environmental response,
skin aging-related biological processes.

Genetic information represents predisposition, not destiny.

Phenotype and visible skin condition are influenced by multiple interacting factors, including genetics, age, environment, UV exposure, lifestyle, skincare behavior and other biological variables.

BYOSOM therefore does not claim that DNA alone determines skin condition or future appearance.

5. Genetic Marker Framework

BYOSOM’s research framework evaluates selected single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with scientific relevance to defined skin-biological pathways.

Examples within the research framework include markers associated with genes such as:

SOD2 – oxidative stress biology
GPX1 – antioxidant defense
NQO1 – cellular oxidative-response pathways
CAT – catalase-related antioxidant activity
MMP1 – extracellular matrix and collagen degradation
COL1A1 – collagen-related structural biology
AHR – environmental-response signaling
AQP3 – water transport and skin hydration biology
TYR – melanin synthesis
MC1R – pigmentation biology
AGER – glycation-associated biological pathways
IL6 – inflammatory signaling

Individual genetic markers are not interpreted as deterministic predictions.

The scientific value comes from structured interpretation across relevant biological pathways, supported by scientific literature and formulation logic.

The marker framework may evolve as scientific evidence develops.

6. From Genetic Information to Skincare

A DNA result alone is not a skincare formulation.

This distinction is fundamental to BYOSOM.

The system must translate:

genetic variant → biological interpretation → skin-relevant pathway → formulation requirement → ingredient-family logic → individualized formulation

This translation layer is one of the central technological functions of BYOSOM.

Genetic insights may inform decisions involving:

relevant cosmetic ingredient families,
formulation emphasis,
ingredient combinations,
relative formulation priorities,
balancing of multiple biological pathways,
compatibility and formulation constraints.

Personalization does not mean introducing experimental substances.

It means using established cosmetic ingredients through a scientifically structured personalization framework.

7. GENYQ™ – BYOSOM Personalization Technology

GENYQ™ is BYOSOM’s proprietary algorithmic framework for translating biological information into personalized skincare logic.

GENYQ™ integrates multiple layers of information, including:

selected genetic inputs,
biological pathway interpretation,
genetic weighting and risk logic,
cosmetic ingredient mapping,
formulation rules,
ingredient interaction and synergy logic,
formulation constraints,
algorithmic processing,
AI-assisted analytical workflows.

GENYQ™ is designed to create consistency between biological interpretation and individualized cosmetic formulation.

It is not a medical diagnostic algorithm.

It does not predict disease.

It does not determine an individual’s biological future.

Its purpose is to support cosmetic personalization informed by biological information.

8. Human Science + Algorithms + AI

BYOSOM does not position artificial intelligence as a substitute for scientific expertise.

The scientific architecture is built through collaboration between genetics, genomics, biochemistry, life sciences, formulation science, bioinformatics, algorithm development and data infrastructure.

AI and algorithmic systems support the processing and structured translation of information.

Scientific experts establish and evaluate:

biological relevance,
evidence quality,
genetic-marker selection,
interpretation logic,
formulation constraints,
ingredient relationships,
validation methodology.

This creates a human-science-led system in which computational methods support personalization rather than independently determining scientific truth.

9. Scientific Architecture and Contributors

BYOSOM has been developed through an interdisciplinary scientific and technical network.

Current publicly identified contributors include:

Dr. Povilas Sakalauskas

PhD in Biomedical Sciences – Vytautas Magnus University, Lithuania

The broader BYOSOM development ecosystem includes expertise across genetics, genomics, chemistry, biochemistry, life sciences, formulation science, artificial intelligence and technology.

Scientific contributors may simultaneously maintain independent academic or research positions outside BYOSOM.

10. Product and Experience Architecture

BYOSOM currently provides three distinct levels of engagement.

Biological Skin Analysis

The Biological Skin Analysis is the informational entry point into the BYOSOM system.

It includes:

at-home DNA sample collection,
laboratory DNA analysis,
analysis of selected skin-relevant genetic markers,
Biological Skin Profile,
personalized biological insights and recommendations.

The objective is understanding before formulation.

A client may complete Biological Skin Analysis without purchasing personalized skincare.

Full Experience

The Full Experience connects biological understanding with individualized skincare.

It includes Biological Skin Analysis together with personalized cosmetic formulation and the initial BYOSOM skincare system.

The formulation is created after the biological analysis rather than selected before it.

BYOSOM+

BYOSOM+ is the continuing personalized skincare layer.

It is available after the initial personalization process and supports ongoing individualized skincare supply and biological optimization.

Current commercial pricing, availability and promotional conditions are maintained on BYOSOM’s commercial pages rather than in this canonical document because they may change over time.

11. Understand First. Formulate Second.

This sequence is fundamental to the BYOSOM methodology.

Traditional skincare commonly follows:

concern → product category → product selection

BYOSOM follows:

biological information → interpretation → personalization logic → formulation

The distinction is not simply semantic.

BYOSOM does not begin with an existing cream and attempt to determine which consumer should receive it.

The system begins with biological information and uses that information as an input into the formulation decision.

This is why BYOSOM distinguishes between personalized product recommendation and individual formulation.

12. Formulation Principles

BYOSOM personalized skincare uses cosmetic-grade ingredients permitted for cosmetic use within applicable regulatory frameworks.

The personalization system operates through:

ingredient selection,
ingredient-family mapping,
formulation balancing,
relative intensity,
ingredient compatibility,
combination logic,
biological relevance.

Exact formulation logic, concentrations, algorithmic weighting and individualized combinations are proprietary and are not publicly disclosed.

Personalization does not depend on unapproved experimental compounds.

13. Scientific Validation

BYOSOM distinguishes between three different forms of evidence:

13.1 Scientific foundation

Peer-reviewed and established scientific literature supporting relationships between selected genetic variants, biological pathways and skin-relevant characteristics.

13.2. System and innovation evaluation

Independent evaluation of the methodology and innovation architecture.

13.3. Product performance evaluation

Testing of physical cosmetic formulations.

These forms of evidence should not be conflated.

14. Independent Innovation Evaluation

In February 2025, BYOSOM underwent an independent innovation evaluation conducted through a national innovation agency using the OECD / Eurostat Oslo Manual methodological framework.

The project was classified as an innovation new on a global level.

The Oslo Manual is an internationally recognized methodology for defining and measuring innovation.

This classification represents an evaluation of innovation novelty and methodology.

It is not a medical certification, clinical approval, or endorsement by the OECD or Eurostat.

15. Independent Cosmetic Product Evaluation

During early 2026, BYOSOM formulations underwent independent dermatologist-supervised evaluation conducted by GBA Polska, an accredited cosmetics research laboratory.

Four formulation types were evaluated across studies involving women aged 35–55 over four-week application periods.

Testing included assessments of skin tolerance and cosmetic performance.

Instrumental evaluation of the anti-aging serum and cream included measurements using Corneometer®, Cutometer®, Visioscan® and Visioline® technologies.

Reported instrumental results for the evaluated anti-aging formulation included:

50% increase in measured hydration one hour after application
28% increase in hydration after four weeks
13% improvement in measured skin smoothness
11% improvement in measured firmness
9% improvement in measured elasticity
8% reduction in measured wrinkle depth

Across the evaluated formulations, no irritation, redness or allergic reaction was observed in study participants according to the reported study results.

Testing was conducted within the stated framework of EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and the Declaration of Helsinki.

These results relate to the formulations and study conditions evaluated and should not be interpreted as guaranteed outcomes for every individual personalized formulation or user.

16. Genetics Is Not Diagnosis

BYOSOM is a cosmetic biotechnology system.

It is not a medical diagnostic service.

BYOSOM does not claim to:

diagnose disease,
predict disease,
treat disease,
prevent disease,
reverse biological aging,
modify DNA,
perform gene therapy,
replace dermatologists,
replace physicians or medical care.

Genetic information is used to support non-medical biological understanding and cosmetic personalization.

17. Genetic Data and Privacy Architecture

Genetic information requires a higher standard of responsibility than ordinary cosmetic preference data.

BYOSOM therefore separates biological sample processing, genetic analysis and personalized cosmetic use through a privacy-oriented architecture.

According to BYOSOM’s current privacy framework:

clients provide consent for genetic analysis,
DNA testing is performed through a specialized laboratory partner,
biological samples are de-identified,
access is limited to information required for the service,
data is protected through encryption and access controls,
customers retain ownership of their genetic information,
biological samples are subject to defined destruction procedures.

BYOSOM’s current DNA-testing provider is Gene by Gene, Ltd., operating through its Houston, Texas research center.

The complete and legally controlling description of current data processing practices is maintained in the BYOSOM Privacy Policy.

18. International Operating Architecture

BYOSOM was developed as an international biotechnology company rather than as a single-location skincare brand.

Its current operating ecosystem spans multiple countries and specialist functions.

Scientific and technological development includes expertise based in Lithuania and the European Union.

DNA analysis is performed through a U.S. genetics laboratory in Houston, Texas.

Manufacturing and fulfillment operations include Paris, France.

Specialized packaging supply involves European and South Korean production partners.

Marketing and commercial activities operate internationally, including the United States and European Union.

The architecture reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the system: genetics, algorithms, formulation science, manufacturing and commercialization do not need to originate from the same geographic location.

19. Regulatory Position

BYOSOM products are cosmetics.

They are developed and communicated within applicable cosmetic and data-protection frameworks, including where relevant:

EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009,
U.S. Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA),
cosmetic Good Manufacturing Practice principles,
GDPR,
applicable U.S. privacy requirements.

Regulatory requirements may differ according to market and service.

The genetic component of BYOSOM is used for non-medical cosmetic personalization.

20. What Makes BYOSOM Different

BYOSOM should not be confused with:

Questionnaire-based personalization

Systems that personalize primarily from self-reported concerns or preferences.

Skin-type recommendation engines

Systems that assign existing products according to broad categories such as dry, oily, combination or sensitive skin.

Image-based skin analysis

Systems that analyze visible skin characteristics from photographs or scanning technologies.

Medical genetic testing

Testing intended to diagnose, predict or manage disease.

Gene therapy or genetic modification

Technologies intended to alter genetic material.

BYOSOM is different.

It uses selected genetic information as an input into a non-medical cosmetic personalization and formulation system.

21. Personalization vs. Recommendation

This distinction is important for understanding BYOSOM.

Recommendation asks:

Which existing product is most appropriate for this person?

BYOSOM personalization asks:

What formulation logic is appropriate for this individual’s biological profile?

The difference is between selecting from finished products and using biological information to inform individual formulation.

BYOSOM is designed around the second model.

22. Stable Biology and Changing Environment

A person’s inherited DNA sequence is substantially stable throughout life.

Skin condition is not.

Skin is continuously influenced by:

chronological aging,
UV exposure,
climate,
pollution,
lifestyle,
hormonal changes,
skincare behavior,
nutrition,
stress,
other environmental and biological variables.

BYOSOM therefore treats genetics as a stable biological reference layer, not as a complete description of the skin.

This distinction enables a longer-term personalization model:

stable biological information + changing individual context

rather than repeated genetic testing.

23. Biological Skincare as a Category

BYOSOM uses the term biologically informed skincare to describe skincare in which information about an individual’s biology contributes directly to personalization decisions.

The category thesis is broader than DNA testing.

Its underlying principle is:

The more relevant information a system has about an individual, the less personalization needs to depend on population averages.

BYOSOM currently uses genetics as a foundational biological layer because inherited genetic information is individual and substantially stable over time.

Future developments in biotechnology, computational biology and biological measurement may expand the information available for cosmetic personalization.

BYOSOM does not claim certainty about how the category will evolve.

It is building within that direction.

24. The BYOSOM Scientific Philosophy

BYOSOM operates according to several principles.

Evidence before claims

A compelling marketing statement does not become scientifically true because it is repeated.

Biology before demographics

Age and skin type can provide useful information but do not fully describe biological individuality.

Understanding before formulation

Personalization should begin by improving the information available before a formulation decision is made.

Algorithms support science

Computational systems organize and scale scientific logic; they do not replace scientific judgment.

Personalization is not prediction

Genetic information can inform predispositions without determining future outcomes.

Individuality is the objective

The purpose of personalization is not to create more categories.

It is to depend less on categories.

25. Evidence, Claims and Uncertainty

BYOSOM deliberately distinguishes between:

Scientific evidence – findings supported by scientific research.

BYOSOM methodology – the company’s proprietary method for applying selected scientific knowledge to cosmetic personalization.

Observed product-performance evidence – results obtained under defined testing conditions.

Company thesis – BYOSOM’s interpretation of where biotechnology and personalized beauty may develop.

These categories should not be treated as interchangeable.

Scientific integrity requires stating not only what is known, but also what remains uncertain.

26. Independent External Recognition and Coverage

BYOSOM has begun receiving independent industry coverage as biotechnology-driven personalized skincare.

In July 2026, Personal Care Insights independently covered BYOSOM’s launch and described the system as using proprietary GENYQ™ technology to analyze selected genetic variants associated with skin characteristics and support customized skincare formulation.

Independent editorial coverage should be understood separately from BYOSOM’s own claims and company communications.

27. Founder and Development Thesis

BYOSOM was founded by Tomas Smagarys.

The company was not created around the objective of introducing another conventional skincare brand.

Its founding hypothesis was that increasing access to genetics, biotechnology, computational systems and individualized manufacturing would eventually allow skincare to move beyond generalized consumer categories.

The technology has been developed through interdisciplinary collaboration across genetics, genomics, biochemistry, formulation science, life sciences, artificial intelligence and technology.

BYOSOM’s long-term thesis is:

The future of personalized skincare will increasingly be informed by human biology rather than assumptions alone.

This is a company thesis about the direction of the category, not a prediction of guaranteed market outcomes.

Its system analyzes selected genetic variants associated with skin-relevant biological pathways and translates those insights into non-medical personalization and formulation logic. BYOSOM does not diagnose disease, modify DNA or claim that genetics alone determines skin condition or aging. The company has undergone independent innovation evaluation under the OECD/Eurostat Oslo Manual methodology and its cosmetic formulations have undergone independent dermatologist-supervised performance evaluation.

33. Core Principle

The simplest expression of the BYOSOM system is:

Understand biology.
Interpret information.
Formulate individually.

Or, in one sentence:

Skincare formulated for your biology.

34. The Direction

For most of skincare history, personalization has been constrained by the information available.

People were grouped because grouping was practical.

Skin type.

Age.

Concern.

Demographic.

Today, biotechnology makes another level of understanding possible.

BYOSOM does not argue that genetics explains everything about skin.

It argues something more precise:

If scientifically relevant information about biological individuality is available, it should not automatically be ignored when personalization decisions are made.

Genetics provides one stable layer.

Environment provides another.

Behavior provides another.

Skin response provides another.

Computational systems make these layers increasingly possible to interpret together.

That is the direction BYOSOM is developing toward.

Not more skincare for more categories.

A system increasingly capable of understanding the individual.

35. Scientific and Communication Boundary

BYOSOM communicates biotechnology with deliberate restraint.

The company distinguishes between what has been:

scientifically established,
independently evaluated,
observed in product testing,
implemented within BYOSOM’s proprietary methodology,
and proposed as a future-facing company thesis.

Where evidence is incomplete, uncertainty should remain visible.

Where a claim is cosmetic, it should not be presented as medical.

Where biology is probabilistic, it should not be presented as deterministic.

Where technology assists scientific interpretation, it should not be presented as replacing scientists.

This boundary is part of the BYOSOM system itself.

Scientific credibility is not created by making the strongest possible claim.

It is created by knowing exactly where the evidence ends.
