The Origin Story

Rewriting the Rules of Beauty

When Professor Augustinus Bader’s decades of stem cell research met Charles Rosier’s vision, a new era of skin and hair care was born.
In 2008, Professor Bader’s medical-grade Wound Gel demonstrated a new approach to healing severe skin trauma – including third-degree burns and diabetic wounds – without surgery or skin grafts. When Rosier learned of this pioneering technology, he saw the potential to translate this science beyond its medical application.
In 2018, they founded Augustinus Bader with a singular vision: to democratize renewal science and redefine what skin and haircare can do. At the heart of every formula is TFC8® – decades of Professor Bader’s research translated into a patented cosmetic technology designed to optimize skin cell communication and support visible renewal.

Committed to Continuous Innovation

AB Science continues to advance Professor Bader's pioneering, foundational work, deepening our understanding of how the body repairs itself at a cellular level.

The AB Science lab in Leipzig, Germany, is where biomedical scientists and our research and development teams continue to evolve the patented technologies powering the brand. This research has driven the creation of breakthrough formulations across multiple beauty categories – brought to life through the founding brand and a considered portfolio of partnerships.

Key Research

Wound Gel Technology

In 2008, Professor Bader developed a groundbreaking medical-grade Wound Gel designed to support the natural self-repair of traumatic wounds at a cellular level. Applied in cases ranging from diabetic wounds to severe third-degree burns, the technology enabled a regenerative approach to tissue repair that eliminated the need for surgery, skin grafts, or scar revision, while minimizing opportunistic infections associated with severe skin trauma.

The Wound Gel works by delivering healing signals to the site of injury, which catalyzes a regenerative response from damaged cells, triggering tissue repair processes. Professor Bader continues to collaborate with leading medical experts to advance the clinical application of his regenerative therapies.
