Augustinus Bader
Augustinus Bader was founded in 2018 around Professor Augustinus Bader's stem cell and wound-healing research at the University of Leipzig, where he developed an amino acid and peptide complex originally aimed at burn treatment. The brand has commercialized that research as 'TFC8' across its skincare line. The science is real, but the proprietary nature of the complex makes independent verification harder than for openly published actives.
