ATIKA focuses on solutions supporting skin health through multiple pathways, including collagen integrity, antioxidant defense, lipid barrier health, and mitochondrial support.
The appointment occurs as ATIKA expands its consumer, professional, and retail presence. The company aims to establish a broader model of skin nutrition that extends beyond collagen. Founder Shapiro, a pharmacist with an MBA from Wharton, established ATIKA after reviewing extensive research on skin aging, oxidative stress, and barrier function.
