Stratia

Launched in 2016, Stratia is an obsessively researched skin care company that uses science-backed ingredients to create skin care that actually works.

Stratia was born from a blog under Founder & CEO Alli Reed’s pseudonym “The Acid Queen” where she quickly became a thought leader for skin care devotees across the internet.

As a former chemistry minor in college, Alli found herself in her late 20s, digging into dermatology journals and periodic studies to get well-versed in the science of skin care. When she formulated her flagship product, Liquid Gold, a moisturizer that touted lightweight, yet restorative qualities, Alli shared leftover batches with fellow forum readers. The formula exploded on Reddit.

Alli’s commitment to science means clear labeling, transparent ingredient declarations, and a commitment to efficacy for a wide variety of skin types. Stratia is vertically integrated since its launch: all products are formulated and manufactured in house at its HQ in Los Angeles, California.

Stratia products can be found at stratiaskin.com and New London Pharmacy in New York, New York.
