AI in skincare isn’t new, but it is leveling up. One app can tell you your “skin age” and help dermatologists diagnose and treat skin conditions.

A wax that is derived from a commonly grown marine microalga could be the next big thing in cosmetics and personal care products, thanks to a recent license agreement between the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), Western Washington University (WWU)—which jointly own the patents—and Upwell Cosmetics, a start-up materials company founded in Woods Hole, Mass.

Applications include lip products, reef-safe sun care, hair care, deodorants and more.
