Amazia™ is a violacein-based biotechnology active developed for blemish-prone skin. It targets blemish-causing bacteria while respecting the skin microbiome, with a visible reduction of blemishes shown in a clinical study.
Curious how Amazia™ could work in your formulation? Ask Ai-zeco.
In a clinical study, a cream with Amazia™ showed a visible reduction in blemishes after 28 days, with 85% of participants reporting an improvement in skin imperfections.
55% of participants in the same study showed a visible reduction in redness, for a calmer, more balanced complexion.
Amazia™ is a bioactive obtained from the secondary metabolism of a tropical bacterium. The proprietary, non-genetically modified wild-type strain was isolated from the rainforest by the research team of Active Cells Biotechnology and is reproduced by precision fermentation in Italy. After fermentation the violacein is harvested by natural extraction and purified by fine microfiltration.
In nature violacein acts as a selective shield. In the skin Amazia™ works the same way: it targets blemish-causing bacteria while leaving beneficial flora intact, it reduces the inflammatory mediator TNF-alpha and it stimulates autophagy, the skin’s own cell-recycling process.

Biodiversity is the source of Amazia™: a wild-type microorganism found in the rainforest, preserved in its original form and reproduced in the laboratory instead of harvested from nature. Precision fermentation turns that discovery into a consistent ingredient with a natural origin index of 1 under ISO 16128, COSMOS approval and a biodegradable profile.
What makes Amazia™ different from classic anti-blemish actives is selectivity: it inhibits the bacteria behind blemishes at concentrations that leave the beneficial flora alone.
