SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / August 25, 2026 / Dermata Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq:DRMA) ("Dermata," or the "Company"), a science-driven leader in dermatologic solutions, today announced the official commercial launch of the Tome Foundational Treatment, the first product available for purchase under the Company's Tome skincare brand. The Foundational Treatment is now available for immediate purchase at www.tomeskincare.com, either as a one-time purchase or through a monthly subscription at a discounted price.
The commercial launch marks a significant landmark in Dermata's evolution into a direct-to-consumer skincare company and represents the Company's first commercial product under the Tome brand. Tome was created by a team of researchers and industry experts to introduce consumers to novel skincare products that combine time-tested ingredients with modern scientific innovation. The Company aims to produce multiple products that can simplify skincare routines without compromising results.
"Our launch of the Tome Foundational Treatment is an incredibly exciting time for Dermata and represents the culmination of years of research into skincare and learning about the everchanging needs of consumers," commented Gerry Proehl, Dermata's Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. "Today, we make the transition from a pre-commercial company, to putting our first Tome product directly into the hands of consumers. We believe our Tome Foundational Treatment provides a differentiated approach to skin renewal that is simple to incorporate into an existing skincare routine, while providing consumers with the feel of an aesthetician treatment at home." Mr. Proehl continued, "The launch also represents an important step in the transformation of Dermata. We believe our experience in clinical dermatology, combined with our unique Bioneedle technology, provides us with a strong foundation to build a portfolio of differentiated skincare products under the Tome brand. With our first product now commercially available, our focus turns to building awareness of Tome, driving consumer adoption, and continuing to expand our skincare offerings," concluded Mr. Proehl.
Tome Foundational Treatment: A New Foundation for Your Skincare Routine
The Tome Foundational Treatment is a once-weekly skin renewal treatment powered by Bioneedle, Dermata's hero ingredient consisting of 100% Spongilla lacustris, a wild harvested freshwater sponge that is minimally processed into a fine, purified powder. Designed to be an easy addition to an existing skincare routine, the Foundational Treatment is intended to renew the appearance of the skin and improve the tone and texture of your skin over time. The once-weekly treatment reflects Tome's approach to skincare: providing powerful, not punishing products, with simple routines rooted in both science and history.
"At Tome, we believe great skincare shouldn't require an overwhelming routine," said Kyra Peckaitis, Vice President of Marketing at Dermata. "We created the Foundational Treatment to do exactly what its name suggests: become a foundational step in the way consumers care for their skin. Bioneedle gives us an ingredient and experience that we believe is truly differentiated, and we are thrilled that consumers can now experience Tome for themselves."
Building the Next Chapter of Dermata
Dermata announced its strategic shift toward direct-to-consumer skincare in 2025 with the goal of leveraging the Company's dermatology experience and Bioneedle technology to develop differentiated products that consumers can access directly. The Foundational Treatment is the first product in Dermata's planned Tome skincare portfolio. The Company is also developing other skincare treatments that are expected to leverage the unique attributes of its Bioneedle technology.
