CUTANEON – Skin & Hair Innovations GmbH is a privately owned, independent R&D company dedicated to the development of ground-breaking cosmeceuticals, nutraceuticals and dermatological drugs, founded by Professor Ralf Paus.

Based on its expanding IP and data portfolio, CUTANEON seeks investors for defined R&D projects geared at developing and commercializing disruptive products in the targeted areas of dermatology, skin aging, hair growth and pigmentation control. 

CUTANEON develops patent-protected proof-of-concept preclinical/early clinical data sets and novel actives that serve as a basis for the development of game-changing skin & hair products. These are subsequently sold or licensed to industry partners. Methodologically, our principal R&D strategy is to perform product development research directly in human skin or hair follicles so as to stay as close as possible to clinical reality and to use state-of-the art in silico modelling for the identification of patentable actives. For this, CUTANEON strategically collaborates with Monasterium Laboratory (also founded & run by Professor Paus), the leading provider of human skin & hair follicle organ culture-based research services. From IV/2023, CUTANEON will also operate its own basic & translational research laboratory in the new “Biocube”, (Berlin, Germany). Wherever possible, we favour skin & hair product development strategies that prioritize ecological sustainability, sourcing of natural compounds, product safety, high product value-for-money, and proven long-term skin/hair benefits.

We at CUTANEON are driven to enter Joint Ventures, Spinouts, and potential hybrid business models that provide the foundation for our revolutionary portfolio. Additionally, we offer different stages of investment opportunities, mostly Seed and Series A investments opportunities.
