Aramore Skincare

What Aramore Skincare does

Aramore Skincare is a US-based, privately held health and beauty company founded in 2022 and headquartered in Beverly, Massachusetts. It sells premium topical skincare and an oral supplement built around NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) cellular longevity technology, developed over 7+ years by four scientific co-founders from Harvard Stem Cell Institute (Anna Mandinova), MIT Chemistry (Brad Pentelute), Harvard Dermatology/MGH (Sarina Elmariah), and a former Angiogenesis Foundation Chief Innovation Officer (Diana Saville, Head of Research). The company is led by CEO Melisse Shaban. Its core technology is a proprietary NAD+ Precursor Complex — combining NMN, fatty acids, ketone bodies, and synergistic cofactors — paired with a delivery mechanism engineered to penetrate the skin barrier, alongside a Spin Trap (PBN) antioxidant system. The product portfolio comprises five core SKUs (NAD+ Cell Energizing Treatment $110, NAD+ Cell Restoration Cream, Retinol Peptide Boosting Serum $124, NAD+ Renewing Eye Cream $76, and NAD+ Cell Energizing Supplement $70) plus four bundles (Duo $144, Trio $222, Renew & Restore $187, Skin Transformation Set $176).

Aramore's value proposition is anchored in five human clinical trials with quantitative endpoints (e.g., 53% barrier strengthening, 34% water-loss reduction, ~23% radiance improvement, ~25% texture improvement). Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via aramoreskincare.com, with a subscription/auto-replenish option at 15% off (30/45/90-day cadence via Recharge Payments), supplemented by select retail partners nationwide. Customer acquisition is driven by content marketing (Aramore Journal blog), earned media (Forbes, Glamour, Oprah Daily, Women's Health, Robb Report, CNN Underscored, Harper's Bazaar), a creator/affiliate program (Dovetale-powered Collab), a Refer-a-Friend program ($10 off), and organic social. It holds cruelty-free, dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic, gluten-free, vegan, NSF GMP (supplement), and heavy-metal-tested certifications.

The company monetizes through one-time purchases and subscriptions at premium price points ($70-$124 per SKU; $144-$222 per bundle), targets consumers 30+ seeking science-backed anti-aging solutions as well as science-and-wellness enthusiasts who prioritize clinical evidence, and relies on its Harvard/MIT scientific pedigree and award recognition (Glossy Best Breakthrough Wellness Startup 2025, Shape Beauty Awards 2025, Oprah Daily Beauty Awards 2023, among others) as primary credibility assets.

Core offering

Aramore Skincare develops, manufactures, and sells science-first skincare products and oral supplements built around proprietary NAD+ cellular longevity technology. The lineup includes topical treatments (NAD+ Cell Energizing Treatment lotion, NAD+ Cell Restoration Cream, Retinol Peptide Boosting Serum, NAD+ Renewing Eye Cream), an NAD+ Cell Energizing oral supplement, and product bundles such as the Duo, Trio, Renew & Restore Bundle, and Skin Transformation Set.

Product overview

Aramore is a science-first skincare brand built around NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) cellular longevity technology, developed by scientists from Harvard and MIT. The portfolio consists of two NAD+ topical treatments (Cell Energizing Treatment lotion and Cell Restoration Cream), a Retinol Peptide Boosting Serum, an NAD+ Renewing Eye Cream, and an NAD+ Cell Energizing Supplement for internal cellular support. The topicals and supplement work synergistically to deliver a 'double dose of NAD+' for whole-system skin health. Bundle configurations (Duo, Trio, Renew & Restore Bundle, Skin Transformation Set) combine products for comprehensive routines. The brand emphasizes clinical evidence, a proprietary NAD+ Precursor Complex, and a whole-system approach that addresses aging at the cellular level rather than surface symptoms.
