About Farzaneh Rezaei
Founder of Fafabiotic | Microbial Formulation Scientist | Mom on a Mission
Some stories start in a lab, some in a home, and some are deeply rooted in culture. Mine? It started with all three.
Growing up in Persian culture, I was surrounded by ancient beauty rituals—natural remedies, fermented skincare, and a deep respect for the power of nature. These traditions weren’t just about beauty; they were about balance, wellness, and harnessing nature’s intelligence.
As I built my career in microbial formulation development, I spent 15 years helping small and big companies turn microbial ideas into real, high-impact products. My work contributed to several successful microbial solutions that are now applied to millions of acres of corn, soybean, and wheat—and even fed to millions of chickens to improve their health and nutrition. I saw firsthand how powerful microbes are in restoring balance, protecting ecosystems, and transforming industries.
But it wasn’t until my own children struggled with their skin that I realized the power of microbes could do something even more personal.
A Scientist, A Mother, A Problem to Solve
As a mother, watching my daughter struggle with eczema and my teenage son battle acne was heartbreaking. No matter how many creams, cleansers, or treatments we tried, the results were always temporary—or worse, irritating.
I knew from my years in microbiology that our skin isn’t just a surface—it’s an ecosystem. And like any ecosystem, when its microbiome is out of balance, problems arise. So, I asked myself:
👉 If I could use microbes to help crops grow stronger and chickens stay healthier, why couldn’t I use them to restore my children’s skin?
That’s when I had an idea:
What if skincare wasn’t just inspired by microbiome science but was actually alive?
The Birth of Fafabiotic
With my background in microbial formulation development, I began crafting a new kind of skincare—one that keeps microbial bioactives alive, fresh, and potent until the moment they touch your skin. This was the birth of Fafabiotic—the first-ever truly alive skincare brand.
No chemical preservatives. No artificial fillers. Just fresh, thriving, microbiome-friendly formulations designed to support your skin’s natural balance and deliver real, visible results.
A Community Rooted in Innovation & Care
Fafabiotic is more than a brand; it’s a mission. A mission to bring science, nature, and tradition together, to challenge outdated beauty standards, and to create products that truly work with your skin, not against it.
And I’m so grateful to have you on this journey. Whether you’re here as a skincare enthusiast, a wellness advocate, or simply someone searching for something better, welcome to Fafabiotic.
