If there\u2019s one celebrity whose skincare routine is both an enigma and an inspiration, it\u2019s Martha Stewart<\/a>. The 84-year-old proves that age is just a number, and she is now finally sharing her skincare secret with the masses.<\/p>\n

Today, Stewart<\/a> and her dermatologist, Dhaval Bhanusali<\/a>, launched Elm Biosciences, a skincare brand that has been five years in the making and is the result of a custom formula that Bhanusali created for Stewart years ago.

\u201cMartha and I became friends over the years, and we became a think tank on ingredients, so I started to make her custom products,\u201d says Bhanusali, who has formulated products for brands like Rhode and is even known for creating topical prescriptions, which is why he whipped up a bespoke formula for Stewart (one of the many perks of being in her position). \u201cShe had this custom topical that no one else had, and I know everyone hates the word gatekeeping, but she thought people would get mad that she was using something they had no access to. Elm was always a concept for us; we wanted Elm to be a community where people with mature skin would be able to talk to each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stewart and Bhanusali worked for five years to turn her custom product into ELM Biosciences’s A30 Elemental Serum. \u201cI was entranced with [Dhaval\u2019s] work, and we started to talk about skin and care, and that’s what happened. We’re very excited about it,\u201d Stewart says. \u201c I’m very curious about chemistry, I’m very curious about science, and this is the result [of both] right here in this little bottle.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Stewart says she\u2019s seen a noticeable difference in the quality of her skin since using the serum, she was most convinced of the power of Elm Biosciences when her longtime makeup artist, Daisy Toye,<\/a> complimented her skin. \u201cMy skin’s always been good, but I have noticed an improvement, and [Daisy] says she noticed an improvement in the texture and the tightness and everything about my skin,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

Bhanusali and Stewart created the biotech brand as a way to target senescent cells, which are nicknamed \u201czombie\u201d cells because they signal to healthy cells to stop functioning. The hero serum contains the brand\u2019s patent-pending A30 Complex, which contains a new type of antioxidant that brightens skin without irritating, plus bakuchiol, hyaluronic acid, blue tansy, squalane, and vitamin C. The result: a creamy gel-like serum that helps with visible signs of aging, UV damage, pigmentation, and dehydration, and calms skin.<\/p>\n

I personally have been testing the A30 Elemental Serum for a few weeks, and it took all of one application to see how incredible the formula is. The serum has a lovely, subtle scent and an iridescent golden hue that gives the skin an immediate glow. I have been using it twice a day, replacing a vitamin C product that sometimes causes irritation and rosacea flare-ups for me personally. I even gifted a serum to my mom, because Bhanusali says everyone can see some skin improvement from the products. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis serum is not necessarily just for aging women,\u201d Stewart explains. \u201cIt is a product that can be used by pretty much anybody. I have a daughter who’s turning 60 and using it, and I, 20-something years older than my daughter, am also using it. What I think it is doing is really improving the ability of the skin to age gracefully with the human inside.\u201d <\/p>\n

Alongside the A30 Elemental Serum is the Inner Dose Daily Skin Supplement. \u201cI\u2019m very open about the fact that I hate supplements\u2014I think it\u2019s mostly nonsense and marketing,\u201d Bhanusali says. However, the dermatologist presented well-studied ingredients, including Polypodium Leucotomos, which he recommends for pre-cancer and melasma patients to reduce hyperpigmentation, as well as vitamin D, Holy Basil leaf, and turmeric. The supplement is designed to provide extra UV protection, balance hormones, enhance skin clarity, reduce inflammation, strengthen the skin barrier, and brighten the skin over time. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s real science,” Bhanusali says. “We just want to show it truly works; we\u2019re not trying to check off any boxes. We want people to see this as something you\u2019d trust with your own family. The more you use the serum, the more you\u2019ll see the benefits. Having formulated so many drugs before, my benchmark is different than most, and Martha’s is also very high.\u201d<\/p>\n
