VOGUE Korea · Authentic Skin Philosophy

Professor Augustine Bader of the University of Leipzig, Germany, who has long explored stem cell biology and regenerative medicine, devoted himself to research on activating the body’s healing ability by awakening cells that have entered a dormant state due to trauma. So in 2008, they developed a ‘wound gel’ that treats severe trauma without surgery or skin grafts. Inspired by this, the skin care brand launched with Charles Rosier, an investor in the biotech field, based on the simple logic that ‘our body knows best’ is named after him, ‘Augustinus Bader’. Cosmetics containing TFC8®, a proprietary ingredient developed through advanced scientific technology with naturally derived amino acids, high-grade vitamins, and skin’s natural active molecules, help the skin’s natural regeneration.

The brand, which became famous through word of mouth among Hollywood celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Nicole Kidman, and Jennifer Aniston, reached out to Melanie Grant, a facialist who takes care of the skin of actresses and top models. She made a name for herself as a facialist for Victoria Beckham, Cate Blanchett, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. She also worked as a beauty guru for American Vogue and founded ‘Skincare Edit,’ an online platform that offers her own skincare know-how and beauty selections according to skin type. (Skincare Edit). She, who calls herself a ‘big fan’ of Augustine Bader’s pursuit of authenticity and innovative efficacy, has been working as a global advisor for the brand since 2021.
