If Jurassic Park recreated dinosaurs, could we do the same for flowers? Scientist and founder Jasmina Aganovic thinks so, framing her work as “science possibility, not science fiction.” Her brand, Future Society, is bringing extinct flowers back to life—as fragrances. They've partnered with some of the world's best perfumers, who used DNA sequencing data to let their imaginations run wild. Just like that, their Scent Surrection Collection was born—six fragrances, each inspired by flowers that vanished from around the world, including fan-favorites Solar Canopy and Floating Forest.In this episode, Jasmina sits down with Scentbird's Marianne Mychaskiw. She takes us inside her creative process, opens up about the challenges of merging science and art, and reminds us that, just like these flowers, every human is capable of reinvention.Highlights:• Intro to Jasmina• Merging biology and beauty• The inspiration for Future Society• Invisible Woods• Solar Canopy• “Our fragrances are polarizing”• Did the flowers actually smell like this!?• The science behind the process• Grassland Opera• Reclaimed Flame• Floating Forest• Science vs. nature• “All things are interconnected”• Learning scent development• Scent Connection, Lost Beauties Edition• Rapid-fire round: scents inspired by extinct animals• “We can invent our tomorrow”Featured Fragrances:Solar Canopy by Future SocietyFloating Forest by Future SocietyHaunted Rose by Future SocietyDiscovery Set by Future SocietySoak in all of our audio and video content at https://podcast.scentbird.com.

How can biotechnology help us create greener, and better products? This podcast featured a roundtable discussion with Christian Euler, strain engineer at Phycus Biotech, Jasmina Aganovic, entrepreneur in residence at Ginkgo Bioworks, and Kevin Folta, horticultural researcher and host of the Talking Biotech Podcast. We talked about what's out there and what may be out there over the next decade, impact, challenges (e.g. with scaling up), certifications and how they should and could grow with the science, regulations, and the hot topic of "GMOs" - misconceptions, which there are A LOT of, vs reality. What does the body of scientific evidence have to say at this point? This was one of my favorite panels recorded - the potential of biotechnology is something that I'm really excited about.

We're all familiar with seeing the words probiotic on everyday foods like yoghurts, but in the past few years skincare products are sporting similar labels and the beauty industry is abuzz with talk of skin microbiome skincare. You may have seen pro-, pre- and even post-biotic skincare products and wondered what they are and what they do for our skin. We came across all three microbiome skincare products trending at the 2019 edition of industry fair In-Cosmetics Global. A microbiome is defined as the entire colony of micro-organisms that live inside or outside the human body. Our skin biome is composed of micro-organisms ranging from bacteria, fungi and viruses to mites. This gathering of micro-organisms doesn't sound too appealing. After all, cosmetics aren't manufactured (usually) with the intention of containing live, active bacteria, which is why they are regulated and must pass stringent microbial challenge tests to be placed legally on the market. In this podcast, we hear about how scientific research into the skin biome is revealing the important role a healthy, micro-organism colony plays in maintaining the overall wellness and balance of our skin. We hear also about how our overuse of traditional personal care products is partly to blame for disrupting the skin's balanced pH. Anti-bacterial cosmetic products contribute to stripping away our skin's microbiome - including the so-called friendly bacteria - which is a first line of defence for our largest organ, skin, and our body as a whole. Our podcast guest Jasmina Aganovic is a chemical and biological engineer, alumni of MIT and co-founder of Mother Dirt, a skincare company whose tagline is 'rethinking clean'. Mother Dirt, a spin-off from AO Biome, a world-leading, clinical-stage microbiome company, was born out of research aimed at finding a scientific answer to the question: "Why are we cleaner than ever, have more products than ever, and yet a growing number of us have sensitivities, allergies, and other skin issues?". Mother Dirt's hero product - AO+ Mist - contains a live culture of a specific bacteria that has been clinically proven to restore clarity and balance to skin within four weeks. Jasmina explains that even though their science showed that 'rethinking clean' was indeed the way to go, Mother Dirt faced almost insurmountable challenges in getting AO+ Mist to market. The beauty industry, from manufacturers to distribution networks and retailers, isn't geared up to handle cosmetic products with live cultures requiring refrigeration. It is used to dealing with long shelf-life products. Listening to Jasmina, you'll learn to sort the facts from the fiction in skin microbiome skincare. You'll also hear about never giving up if you have a sound, revolutionising beauty concept to bring to the market - even if it flies in the face of received industry wisdom!  In this episode on skin microbiome skincare, you'll hear about: How Mother Dirt is challenging the traditional, perceived notions of healthy skin and personal care products and what that means for the beauty industry; Why not all bacteria are bad and what damage the accepted norms of eradicating and sterilising bacteria can do to skin; How dirt, literally soil, contains bacteria that can in fact help alleviate skincare issues such as inflammation and hyper dryness; and Why skin microbiome skincare products need to be backed by sound science not hyperbole. Key take-outs include: If you are bringing a new cosmetic concept to market, be prepared to educate your market, including your partners such as potential retailers and distributors on the product, its needs and how to sell it to consumers. A totally new-concept skincare product might be best served selling direct to consumer to start with. Do your market research and, if you can, run your products through focus groups to hone your positioning and messaging. Being a first mover comes with a price but there are rewards. If your product is niche but has no specific consumer niche, you will need to work hard to think through how to position it in the market and about its branding and brand story. On the other hand, there are advantages to be had from cutting across traditional marketing silos. Get to understand your early-adopter customers and gauge their responses to help guide you in your marketing and retail choices.

In today's hyper-clean, anti-germ world, we have been raised to believe that all germs and bacteria are bad for us, while this is not actually the case. Yes, some germs and bacteria are harmful, but a much larger percentage is useful to us. And unfortunately, conventional cleaning practices have stripped the skin of its microbiome.  My guest for today's episode is Jasmina Aganovic, the President of Mother Dirt (a line of biome-friendly personal care products focused on restoring and maintaining the balance of the skin biome).   The technology is based off research from AOBiome Therapeutics, a biotech company focused on transforming human health through products that restore Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria (AOB), which current hygiene practices have stripped from the modern microbiome. Jasmina is a cosmetics and consumer goods entrepreneur who received her degree in chemical and biological engineering from MIT. Her career path combined her technical background with roles at consumer brands like LVMH, Fresh, and Living Proof. In this episode, we delve into the skin's microbiome and try to recalibrate our perception of what it means to be clean.  Have you introduced biome-friendly steps into your daily skincare regimen? Tell us about it in the comments! In this episode What is the skin microbiome? What are Ammonia Oxidizing Bacteria (Peacekeeper bacteria)? What does it mean to be clean? How to have a more biome-friendly routine   Quotes “When we think about what it means to be clean, it certainly is built around this concept of not having bacteria there. And it is because we have always associated bacteria with being sick or being unhealthy.” [1:42] “Ammonia Oxidizing Bacteria is kind of a crucial lost bacteria that once used to exist on our skin to help promote balance.” [4:54] “The whole point of being clean is to be healthy. And the interesting thing is that we're now learning that bacteria are actually playing a crucial role in helping us be healthy.” [6:30]   Links Find Mother Dirt online here Follow Mother Dirt on Instagram The Beauty of Dirty Skin by Dr. Whitney Bowe The Dirt Cure by Maya Shetreat Kahn

On today’s episode Marni sync’s up with beauty industry pioneer and entrepreneur, Jasmina Aganovic, President, of Mother Dirt, to talk about why dirty is the new clean, how we all need to restore our skin microbiome, the game changing personal care products that are helping restore the good bacteria and recalibrate our skin's ecosystem, and how personal skincare struggles that inspired her to pursue a career in skincare, cosmetics and beauty. As a child and throughout her young adult life, Jasmina struggled with acne. It was this struggle that led her to seek solutions through research and studies to solve her own personal skin issues. Her drive and passion around this topic inspired her to pursue a career in the beauty industry upon her graduating and receiving her degree in chemical and biological engineering from MIT. She has worked for top brands LVMH, Fresh, Nutra Click and Living Proof and today, is innovating and inventing at Mother Dirt. You may already know that our bodies are host to trillions of microorganisms and the skin is comprised of an elaborate and complex ecosystem. Just like our gut relies on good bacteria and probiotics, our skin relies on good bacteria to help us be healthy as well. This elaborate ecosystem is called the skin biome. Over the years, thanks to widespread use of soaps, deodorants, and other personal care products, our good bacteria have been wiped out. Mother Dirts signature product, AO+ Mist containing live Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria (AOB), brings the bacteria back to your skin, restoring your skin to its native, healthy state. AOB is a microorganism found everywhere: lakes, rivers, soil, and formerly our skin. Mother Dirts scientific Founder, David Whitlock, was the one that connected this bacterium to human skin. He was the one that said, “Hey, this bacteria once existed on our skin and I think it’s really important and we should figure out why.”  This was really the principle around which Mother Dirt was formed.

"Nature is a critical participant in our health and our wellbeing, and having a connection to it is crucial." Kris sits down with Jasmina Aganovic from Boston-based wellness company Mother Dirt to talk about the skin biome and why it is important for our health to cultivate good bacteria, even on our skin. Whether we know it or not we all hold certain beliefs about cleanliness, and a lot of them involve using soap to become clean. But what if you learned that you didn’t need to use soap to wash after all? And that some products contain ingredients that strip your good skin bacteria away? Jasmina breaks down our normal cleaning habits and routines and shows us how being more mindful of what we put on our skin may help improve our health.

“Our bodies know how to take care of themselves, and somehow we got disconnected from that. Being able to pave a way back to a ‘native’ state of our skin before we started doing chemistry experiments on it … is very plausible, and it makes a lot of sense to me.” Jasmina Aganovic is the president of Mother Dirt, a biotech company developing biome-friendly skincare products. The line features AO+ Mist, a first-of-its-kind product containing live Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria (AOB), the ‘peace-keeper’ bacteria that has been stripped from the modern microbiome by time spent indoors and contemporary hygiene practices. A cosmetic and consumer goods entrepreneur, Jasmina earned her degree in chemical and biological engineering from MIT. Today, Jasmina shares the story behind Mother Dirt and the evolving definition of what it means to be clean. She offers insight around anti-bacterial hand sanitizer, the connection between our modern lifestyle and skin issues, and the prevalence of acne and eczema in the US. Jasmina describes the Mother Dirt product line, explaining the diverse benefits of AO+ Mist and what the company is working on now. Listen in for Jasmina’s personal skin care journey and learn how Mother Dirt is using its products to initiate a conversation about the microbial world. Topics Covered [1:06] The story behind Mother Dirt Began 15 years ago with study of connection between dirt and mammalian skin Formed company in 2012, research on role of AOB (removed by modern lifestyle) Watershed clinical study in 2014 proved AOB could be reintroduced to skin [4:23] What it means to be clean Old definition = sterile, removal of all bacteria Changing to reflect balance (bacteria not all bad) [5:38] Jasmina’s insight on anti-bacterial soap and hand sanitizer Washing hands proven to improve health, prevent passage of disease Soap and water just as effective as anti-bacterial hand sanitizer [8:40] The statistics around acne and eczema in the US 80M people have acne (out of 250M total) #1 consumer of prescription acne medication globally Childhood eczema increased by 30% in last 10 years [9:44] How lifestyle factors contribute to skin issues Lack of connection to nature contributed to loss of AOB Radical diet change since industrial revolution [11:28] The Mother Dirt product line AO+ Mist (includes live culture of bacteria from soil) Supporting cleanser, shampoo and moisturizer [13:09] How AO+ Mist works as a deodorant Bacteria feeds off irritating components in sweat (e.g.: ammonia) Produces beneficial biproducts as result [17:43] The scientific studies on the benefits of AO+ Mist Proven cosmetically valid by series of double-blind studies Significant improvements in skin clarity, smoothness Decrease in appearance of oily skin (four-week period) [19:43] Jasmina’s personal skin journey Severe acne as teen and into college 10 years of treatment, elaborate routine [23:31] Jasmina’s new approach to skin care ‘Less is more’ philosophy Holistic vs. aggressive approach [25:36] Mother Dirt’s next steps Use products as vehicle for conversation about microbial world Make products available on more channels (i.e.: retail partners) [27:22] The potential for personalized microbiome treatments Gain understanding of what native microbiome looked like Adjust populations of bacteria without killing all [29:55] Jasmina’s powerful thought experiment Favorite scenes in nature usually don’t include people Loss of natural inoculation mechanisms from environment Learn More About Jasmina Mother Dirt Jasmina on LinkedIn Resources Mother Dirt Article in The New York Times Magazine AOBiome Therapeutics

I love exploring green beauty products and indulging in my monthly facials. Skincare is totally my jam. But lately I've been wondering if there's too much of a good thing? Is it possible that we're actually too clean? That's what Jasmina Aganovic, founder of Mother Dirt and I are talking about on today's podcast episode. A few months ago I discovered a line of skincare products that's made to be "biome-friendly". I'll be honest, I'd never heard this term before. I know about the microbiome as it relates to our gut (if you haven't read my last post of gut health and probiotics, DO IT!) but never how it applies to skincare. It's a brand new topic to me and has opened up a whole new world of skincare that is both expanding my knowledge and also decreasing the steps of my typical routine. So I figured I'd turn this week into an unofficial "microbiome week", where chat about all things gut health, skin bacteria, inflammation and how to support your microbiome holistically. Jasmina is a wealth of knowledge on all these subjects! Here are a few other things we cover in today's episode: About Jasmina and how she started Mother Dirt The skin's microbiome and why it matters Should we be wearing deodorant and what it does to our skin The ecosystem of our skin and how to balance it out The development of biome-friendly products and the future of skincare How your skin conditions are related to your immune-system The AO+ Mist and how to add good bacteria to your skin How to be more "biome-friendly" and what to replace to encourage a healthy microbiome What advice she would give to her 20 year old self

Welcome to the THINKING Podcast, produced by HVMN.  Episode 35 features Jasmina Aganovic, president of Mother Dirt, a product that flips the switch on the normal school of thought of modern hygiene. Instead of cleaning bacteria from your skin, Mother Dirt aims to restore & maintain the good bacteria. What's the rationale behind this, you ask?  The microbiome.  The microbiome is a community of microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses) that inhabit a particular environment. The particular environment we're talking about here is your human body, which is home to 100 trillion microbes. Before you jump out of your skin, it's known that these microbes play an essential part in our bodily function and survival. The popular frenzy surrounding probiotics is fueled in large part by surging scientific and public interest in the human microbiome. Mother Dirt is playing a huge part in leading this new space in the dermatology industry by bringing microbiome-friendly products to consumers that are backed by their own clinical research. Geoffrey Woo and Jasmina discuss the nuances of bringing a potentially controversial product to market, the theory behind why modern society is too clean for our good, and the role of the microbiome beyond cosmetics/dermatology (recent studies have shown that lower blood pressure is associated with a healthy microbiome).  

Most people know that their skin is an organ — the body’s largest, in fact. And more people are becoming aware of just how much their skin absorbs (hint: everything you put on it!). But did you know that there’s a full-blown ecosystem of tiny bacteria that live on your skin too? For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/21 Healthy skin is meant to have a flourishing microbiome. But because most beauty and personal care products are full of toxic chemicals, not only are we upsetting the delicate pH balance of our epidermis (and wreaking havoc inside our bodies at the same time), we’re also decimating our skin’s natural bacterial colonies… which can have major health ramifications, and make it impossible to get the clear, dewy skin we all crave. That’s why Jasmina Aganovic and the team at Mother Dirt have created the first ever ‘biome-friendly’ product line that proactively restores and preserves the good bacteria naturally found on our skin. All Mother Dirt products are preservative-free, kid safe and allow consumers to choose products that don’t negatively impact the natural state of their skin or the planet. If you want answers to your skin issues (and want to find out how to get sexy, glowing, flawless skin) this episode is for you.   In this episode we chat about: What common skin issues such as eczema, acne, dry and flaky skin, sensitivity, blotchiness, roughness, oiliness, and body odor really mean and how you can prevent them (03:59) The true impact that toxic beauty and skin products are having on your health and why you need to ditch them (05:34) Why your skin microbiome is just as important as your gut microbiome and how you can preserve it for glowing skin (07:31) Why being too clean may being doing you more harm than good (11:24) What ‘ammonia oxidising bacteria’ (aka AOB’s) are and why they are so important for sexy skin (12:44) Why we should be mindful of what we’re putting in our body (14:41) Why sweating is important (30:14) How you can spend less time and money on beauty and skin products and still have sexy skin (32:58) Plus so much more!     For full show notes, episode resources and quick links to the above timestamps, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/21 The only purpose of this podcast is to educate and to inform.

Jasmina Aganovic is a cosmetics and consumer goods entrepreneur who received her degree in chemical and biological engineering from MIT, and she’s back on the podcast to talk about the progress AOBiome have made with their clinical trials. In this interview, we focus mostly on the potential treatment of acne and hypertension, but trials are also underway for allergies, eczema, wound healing, migraines and temperature regulation. Mother Dirt is the company focussed on commercialising the research of AOBiome, and I’ve been using their AO+ Mist spray product for over two years for the successful prevention of nappy (diaper) rash, saddle sores, and acne caused by bike helmets. I’ve also been using the spray in the place of a deodorant, and so far my wife hasn’t divorced me. Jasmina wanted to make it clear that although my N=1 experiences are exciting, nothing has been FDA approved. Head over to Mother Dirt and take advantage of the generous 25% discount on offer.

Welcome to the Wealthy Wellthy Life with Krisstina Wise. David Whitlock hasn’t showered in 13 years — why? Because not all bacteria on your skin is bad for you. Sound a little crazy? Well, it isn’t. There’s a big difference between being ‘clean’ vs. being ‘sterile’. Through David’s company, AOBiome, he has developed a spray with ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and sells it for commercial use under the name Mother Dirt. This is how he’s kept clean for all these years! Jasmina Aganovic is the President of Mother Dirt as well as the General Manager for Consumer Products at AOBiome. Jasmina and her team study the importance of good bacteria on the skin and its impact on our health. Through her research, Jasmina and David have come up with biome friendly products that do not kill the good bacteria on your skin.

Invisible to the naked eye, our bodies play host to trillions of microorganisms. Just like our gut relies on good bacteria and probiotics, our skin also relies on good bacteria to keep us healthy. This elaborate ecosystem the skin biome, today faces many challenges. Our obsession with cleanliness & sterility have created a difficult environment for many beneficial organisms to survive. Modern chemistry and lifestyle shifts have undermined this ecosystem, making it less diverse and leaving us more susceptible to sensitivity, irritation and other skin problems. We speak with Jasmina Aganovic, President of Mother Dirt, a start up with a mission to create products that enhance and protect our skin biome restoring and maintaining the beneficial bacteria for healthy skin and a healthier life.     The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson

Have you ever been trapped in a small meeting room with a guy in a grey shirt with sweat marks under the arms? The meeting has a clear agenda, but all you can think about is that smell. Yikes, just thinking about this is enough to make me want to take a shower, scrub my armpits and apply some deodorant. Is the problem an antiperspirant deodorant deficiency? Why have humans evolved to a strong revulsion complex to what is a normal human smell? Have artificial fragrances warped our sense of smell? It’s not normal For our teenage boys to smell of basil, lavender, and rich vanilla. It’s not normal for women to emanate Daisy Fresh, Peach Burst, Blossoming Orchid, Tropical Rush, and Berry Cool. These are all things that have been impressed upon us by the companies that make person care products, and I think it’s important that we are aware of it. Are you telling me I should stink? Yes, a little bit, sometimes. But also I want you to think about where the smell is coming from, and I want you to think about how the smell differs when you change your diet. I noticed a significant reduction in my body odour after adopting a minimally processed, real food diet. Beyond diet You’re probably familiar with the problems surrounding the overuse of antibiotics. Certain of the bacteria that live in our guts are considered keystone species, and without them, we’re in trouble. Bees are also a keystone species crucial to the survival of plants in agriculture. The same problem is happening on our skin. Jasmina Aganovic is a chemical and biological engineer from MIT And she’s here to talk about how the preservatives in our personal care products maybe killing a particular keystone species of ammonia oxidising bacteria that should live on our skin. These bacteria help us by eating something harmful (ammonia) and producing something beneficial (nitric oxide). Mother Dirt Is the name of the company that manufactures a skin probiotic product called AO+ Mist spray. I’ve been using the spray for the past couple of months and so far, so good. No stink! Here’s the outline of this interview with Jasmina Aganovic: 0:04:25    Why would you care about the skin microbiome? 0:05:54    Why do we shower as often as we do? 0:07:34    Bad bacteria were the first to be found. 0:08:10    Now we have a new appreciation of the microbiomes. 0:08:56    We've been programmed since childhood on how we should smell. 0:09:55    What is it about teenagers? 0:10:45    Skin care products for acne. 0:11:29    How the skin microbiome affects acne. 0:12:03    Acne seems to be lasting until later in life. 0:12:54    The bacteria typically linked to acne is P. acne and is not problematic. 0:13:37    But when you introduce harsh soaps and skin care products into the environment, you remove the keystone peacekeepers. 0:15:07    Are skin care products antibiotics? 0:16:06    The preservatives in skin care products may be problematic. 0:16:29    12% of children now have eczema. 0:17:07    Now we can manipulate the skin microbiome. 0:17:29    AOBiome founder David Whitlock noticed animals rolling in dirt. 0:18:12    Soil based ammonia oxidising (AO) bacteria. 0:19:25    We've wiped out the AO bacteria in the last 50-70 years. 0:19:44    The bacteria is very sensitive to surfactants and preservatives. 0:20:44    The AO bacteria is a keystone species for the skin. 0:21:30    AOBiome have been investigating the possibility of reintroducing the AO bacteria. 0:22:45    AOBiome are in a phase 2 clinical trial for the treatment of acne. 0:24:03    C. diff treatment with S. boulardii. 0:25:41    The AO bacteria do take up residence, but you'd need a very sensitive test to find it. 0:26:23    Bumblebees are keystone species like the AO bacteria. 0:27:04    It's important that you use products that are compatible with the bacteria. 0:27:39    Even if you do still use soap you will still see benefit. 0:28:39    Stinky armpits. 0:29:17    Natural deodorants can contain aluminium. 0:29:51    Food choices affect body odour. 0:30:27    60% of AO Mist users are able to give up deodorant. 0:31:07    Is clean really the smell of freesia? 0:31:32    Part of this is coming to terms with the way humans smell. 0:32:02    Triclosan persists in the skin. 0:32:41    AO Labs helps with product development. 0:34:18    Laundry detergents stink in the US. 0:35:55    Humans were not supposed to have body odour. 0:36:18    There is a plausible mechanism for reduction in body odour. 0:37:10    Bacteria consumes ammonia in sweat, that's what smells. 0:37:58    AO bacteria consume ammonia and produce nitric oxide. 0:38:24    The nitric oxide could become systemic. 0:39:04    Diaper rash. 0:39:33    People who use the most amount products also have the most problems. 0:40:36    Spending time outdoors is beneficial. 0:41:35    The name Mother Dirt is deliberate. 0:42:25    People who are forced to use sanitisation. 0:43:14    Certain situations require a sterile environment. 0:43:49    You can still benefit from AO Mist. 0:44:17    Hand sanitizer will wreck your hands. 0:45:15    The potential effect of the product on eczema. 0:45:44    Mother Dirt cannot make any claims before FDA approval. 0:46:13    Inflammatory skin disorders are the primary focus. 0:47:03    Where to find out more about AO Mist and the skin microbiome. 0:47:27    motherdirt.com 0:47:35    aobiome.com 0:48:08    Mother Dirt special offer. 0:48:23    AO+ Mist spray. 0:48:40    Discount code NBT25. 0:48:58    Code expires at the end of February.
