Omy Laboratoires is a Quebec-based skincare company founded in 2018 that builds personalized, 100% vegan face creams, serums, and routines using AI-driven skin analysis.[1][2][4][5] It serves consumers with sensitive or multi-challenged skin, solving the problem of ineffective, non-fresh, or limited-action products by offering bespoke formulations made fresh daily with natural and biotechnological ingredients in eco-responsible packaging.[1][3][4][5] The company has shown strong growth momentum, including a C$11M funding round, a redesigned Shopify store boosting sessions and repeat business, and plans for US and international expansion.[2][6]
Omy Laboratoires was co-founded in 2018 by Andrea Gomez (Masters in Business Administration, former cosmetician) and Rachelle Séguin (Masters in Pharmaceutical Sciences, chemist, former cosmetician), who bonded over frustration with the lack of multi-action skincare for sensitive skin.[1][3][4][6] Spotting a gap from their frontline experience, they combined expertise in chemistry, pharmaceutics, and business to launch Quebec's first fully customized face creams and serums, prioritizing science, technology, freshness, and sustainability.[1][4] Early traction came from innovative AI skin analysis (Skin AI) for personalization, rapid formulation improvements via in-house R&D, and a focus on IP protection like trade secrets to stand out against big players.[1][3]
Omy Laboratoires rides the personalization and AI-in-beauty trend, merging cosmeceuticals with machine learning to democratize custom skincare amid rising demand for inclusive, sustainable alternatives to mass-produced goods.[1][2][5][7] Timing aligns with post-2018 growth in direct-to-consumer tech and vegan/clean beauty, fueled by consumer skepticism of shelf-stable products and preference for fresh, data-driven solutions.[4][6] Market forces like eCommerce scalability (100% of sales online) and IP strategies favor agile innovators challenging giants.[3][6] It influences the ecosystem by proving AI can enhance cosmetics R&D, inspiring similar tech integrations and supporting Quebec's startup scene through job creation and expansion ambitions.[1][3]
Omy is poised for accelerated growth via international markets, automated production patents, and reusable packaging innovations, leveraging its C$11M funding and tech stack for efficient scaling.[2][3] Trends like AI diagnostics expansion and global clean beauty demand (projected to surge) will propel it, potentially evolving from niche customizer to full cosmeceutical platform leader. Investors value its replicability-proof model, tying back to its origins in solving real skin challenges with tech-forward inclusivity.[3]
Omy Laboratoires has raised $11.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $11.0M Series A in April 2023.
