The Medical Miracle Behind Augustinus Bader Skincare 

Bespectacled and bow-tied, Professor Augustinus Bader isn’t your typical beauty brand founder. In fact, you may even think of his cult-favorite skincare line—raved about by celebrities and beauty editors alike—as his second act. Before his entry into the beauty space, he rose to global recognition as a physician, biomedical scientist, and one of the foremost experts in the fields of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. Among his many accomplishments, it was one particular discovery that eventually led to his eponymous brand—a groundbreaking wound gel that heals severe skin trauma without surgery, skin grafts, or scarring.

Early on in his medical career, Dr. Bader worked with burn victims in Shanghai, China. Here, he saw the intense pain and trauma experienced by his patients, who often needed multiple painful surgeries to remove scar tissue and heal their wounds. Back in his home country of Germany, he immersed himself in stem cell and medical biotechnology research—never forgetting the suffering he witnessed during his time in China.

It was in 2008 that Dr. Bader introduced his miraculous discovery: a medical-grade wound gel that encourages traumatic wounds to heal themselves at a cellular level. It works by expediting the body’s natural healing process, sending signals to the damaged tissue and activating stem cells’ ability to regenerate and restore. The implications of this type of technology are far-reaching, with potential to change the way doctors treat many types of injuries—and the wound gel is still in use in medical practice today.

These same principles of cellular regeneration can be found today in Professor Bader’s skincare line. All Augustinus Bader formulas are powered by TFC8®, or Trigger Factor Complex—a patented complex of over 40 ingredients that guides key nutrients to skin cells, creating the ideal environment for cellular renewal. Think of it as personalized skincare turned up to 11—these formulas adapt to your skin’s needs, targeting the look of fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, and hyperpigmentation, all while training skin to become healthier and more resilient long-term.

For Professor Bader, it all comes full circle—a portion of the brand’s profits have been used to fund clinical studies for cutting-edge therapeutic treatments of traumatic skin injuries.
