Arcaea

Jasmina Aganovic is a pioneering entrepreneur and visionary leader at the intersection of science, beauty, and art. With a passion for harnessing the power of biology and cutting-edge technology, Jasmina has become a trailblazer in the beauty industry. After earning her degree in Chemical and Biological Engineering from MIT, Jasmina went on to serve as an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Gingko Bioworks and the President of Mother Dirt, a skin microbiome brand that developed the first live probiotic and biome-friendly products for the skin. From there, she went on to build Arcaea, a biology-first beauty company that develops novel ingredients and product experiences and commercializing them across the value chain of the industry. Arcaea will grow new ingredients and product experiences for beauty through technology such as DNA sequencing, biological engineering, fermentation and more. Future Society is the first brand from Arcaea, debuting a collection of six fragrances that merge science, nature, and art – using the sequenced DNA of extinct flowers to create never-before-experienced fragrances formulated by the world’s most renowned perfumers. Following Arcaea’s mission to make biology the most desired technology in beauty, Future Society is a first of its kind brand that establishes biology as a genre in beauty.
