Codex Labs
Codex Labs (formerly Codex Beauty Labs) was founded in 2018 by Stanford-trained engineer Barbara Paldus with the mission of bringing scientific rigor to clean beauty. The brand conducts in-house clinical and microbiome testing, though independent peer-reviewed validation of its proprietary botanical complexes is still limited.
