Who We Are
NellaDerm started from something personal.
Like many families living with eczema, we went through the same cycle, concern, trial, temporary relief, and then flare-ups again. We felt the frustration firsthand. There is still no true cure for eczema, and many current treatments focus mainly on symptoms, often with limitations in safety or long-term use.
That experience shaped everything we do.
We’re not business-first people.
We’re scientists, trained and working across leading Canadian and American universities.
Our background is in research, and our approach is built on asking better questions.
Care grounded in science
We actively conduct research and publish in this space, pushing the boundaries of what we understand about Atopic Dermatitis, from underlying mechanisms to new treatment strategies.
And importantly, that research doesn’t stay in papers.
It directly shapes everything we build.
Designed for long term skin recovery
While continuing our research, we’ve developed two core products based on the latest scientific understanding of skin repair and inflammation.
They were designed with one priority: long-term skin recovery, while helping with symptoms in first afew uses.
These products are gentle enough for continuous use, yet effective enough to make a real difference. Many people report noticeable improvement within the first 48 hours, but dont forget our real goal of the products design is helping your skin become more stable and resilient over time.
They serve a main purpose:
they allow us to bring our research into the real world, where it can actually help people.
Beyond products
That’s why we’re building a free, accessible platform to support people beyond the surface, helping you understand your skin, your triggers, and your unique condition.
Predictive and personalized care
Flare Prediction, anticipating flare-ups before they happen
Personalized Care Plans, adapting routines and lifestyle guidance to each individual
Customized Treatments, eventually tailoring topical therapies specifically for each person
move from reactive care to predictive and personalized care.
Advanced delivery systems
Alongside this, we are developing advanced drug delivery systems that improve how active ingredients reach the skin.
Instead of sitting on the surface, we focus on delivering actives to the right site of action within the skin, improving effectiveness while minimizing side effects.
This is where our research goes deeper, bridging fundamental science and real-world treatment.
Helping people with eczema live with more comfort, more clarity, and better options over time.
Do it right. Do it scientifically. Keep care at the center.

Atopic Dermatitis:
The Global Burden
Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is not just a skin condition—it affects 10% of the global population, creating a massive public health gap.
200M
Patients Worldwide
A Cycle of Failure
Despite existing treatments, 70% of patients remain dissatisfied. They are trapped in a relentless, exhausting cycle.
Flare
Acute Inflammation
Temporary Relief
Symptom Suppression
Relapse
Condition Returns
The Clinical Gap
Treating AD with a "one-size-fits-all" approach is like using a single key for many different locks. While the disease looks similar externally, the internal "engine" is often completely different based on genetics, age, or ethnic background.
Current treatments target a single pathway, leaving many as "non-responders" who switch medications endlessly without finding a design meant for their specific body.
Three Core Technologies
Integrated Innovation Platform
AI-Powered Personalization
Processes complex patient datasets including genetic, clinical, and lifestyle markers to identify specific disease endotypes.
AI-Derived Formulation Library
A modular collection of steroid-free actives developed through advanced drug discovery algorithms. These ingredients are computationally screened for barrier restoration and immune balance.
Advanced Delivery System
A proprietary transport mechanism designed for sustained release. This system ensures active ingredients reach the specific site of interest for prolonged and effective absorption.
