Hormona is a first-in-class skin-based hormone mapping platform that turns invisible hormonal changes into simple, actionable insights. Using a non-invasive skin strip or patch, Hormona captures hormone signals such as cortisol and sex hormones directly from the skin and translates them into a clear “Hormone Balance Score.” This score guides personalized skincare and wellness decisions related to stress, menstrual cycles, menopause, and aging. The approach creates a fast path to market in consumer wellness and cosmetics while preserving long-term optionality for medical applications such as PCOS and menopause diagnostics. Hormona has the potential to define an entirely new category of hormone-aware skincare and wellness, combining strong science with a scalable consumer product.
