What it does

Moment of Youth makes skincare for outdoor and water sports. Everything rests on a hyaluronic-acid nanogel invented at Chulalongkorn University by one of the co-founders: hyaluronic acid with a heat-responsive polymer grafted onto it, which gathers itself into soft spheres in water and holds moisture at the surface of the skin. The first line is a 20 g balm stick with a ceramide complex and astaxanthin, and ampoule-soaked recovery pads for skin after time in the water. A second generation and a dissolving microneedle are in development.

What I do there

I helped structure the business across direct-to-consumer, retail, licensing and development services, and I work on investor readiness and the patent strategy.
