How It All Began
Our journey began with a mission to create breathable, healthy makeup for post-procedure and sensitive skin. Today, Oxygenetix is trusted by dermatologists, makeup professionals, and consumers who only use the best worldwide. Oxygenetix bridges the gap between makeup and skincare so you no longer have to compromise your skin’s health for beauty. Say goodbye to clogged pores, and hello to a whole new way of taking care of your skin.
Our talented team of skin-loving beauty experts is dedicated to creating safe topicals your skin will love. Since 2008, we have been paving the way for new frontiers in the cosmeceutical world. Oxygenetix Foundation is the first and only of its kind. Never before has there been a foundation that covers compromised skin. We choose clean ingredients from nature, to create formulations that anyone can wear. We take care of our environment and our topicals are PETA certified vegan and cruelty-free.
Oxygenetix was made for the health-conscious, the beauty geeks, the skincare gurus. Those who are affected by skin conditions, and those who want to put their best face forward each and every day. While Oxygenetix topicals were originally designed to be used after cosmetic procedures, our quickly growing fan base wears it as a safe alternative to everyday makeup.
The idea for Oxygenetix was born when Barry’s mother had a chemical peel procedure. When his daughters saw their grandmother soon after her procedure, they were frightened by her appearance and could barely look at her! This inspired Barry to start pondering the idea of post-aesthetic cosmetics. He wanted to formulate a product that could minimize post-procedure downtime for compromised skin.
Barry Knapp partnered with Kort Pearson in 2008 to create the breathable makeup revolution. With decades of combined experience in cosmetics and the medical space, Barry and Kort teamed up with doctors and dermatologists to formulate an oxygen-permeable, protective foundation to minimize patients’ scarring, discomfort, and social downtime following procedures.
Hollywood makeup artists quickly discovered that one application of the foundation could last all day and night, even when shooting under harsh studio lights. Oxygenetix has been deemed, “Hollywood’s Best Kept Secret” as Kourtney Kardashian, Margot Robbie, Elle Macpherson, Gal Gadot, and Julianne Hough, are just a few of the celebs who choose Oxygenetix as their go-to foundation. Oxygenetix has been featured on countless runways, television and movie sets, and Hollywood award shows.
"Oxygenetix is the finest product I have ever produced, and the most effective product available for post-procedure care. I am thrilled that my life-long goal to create the perfect post-procedure foundation has now been realized. Ceravitae™ Complex, the supercharged oxygenating ingredient in our Oxygenating Foundation is great for compromised skin. Because of the unique properties of Oxygenetix, it is also premium quality skincare – a skin-friendly foundation suitable for daily use." - Barry Knapp
