AOX Launches an Equity Crowdfunding Round to Raise 688,000 Euros
AOX has patented the Deep Delivery System®, enhancing skin absorption of anti-aging ingredients by up to 1,100%. Its crowdfunding campaign aims to raise €688,000, already surpassing the €150,000 minimum. Combining green formulas, AI-based skin analysis, and rapid brand internationalization, AOX expects 70% growth in 2024, capitalizing on the €427 billion global cosmetics industry’s expansion.
AOX Cosmeceuticals is an innovative startup founded in 2023 thanks to the experience of Luigi Alfani, a pharmacist for four generations and entrepreneur.
The company has designed and patented, in collaboration with the University of Oviedo, the Deep Delivery System®, a technology capable of transporting numerous anti-aging active ingredients through the skin.
The equity crowdfunding campaign, just launched on Mamacrowd, has the goal of raising up to 688,000 euros. Moreover, the minimum goal of 150,000 euros has already been largely exceeded thanks to the 583 euros already raised.
AOX Technology
The active ingredients are encapsulated in natural microspheres capable of passing through the skin and subsequently releasing them, guaranteeing up to + 1,100% penetration compared to the free form and up to + 90% collagen recovered in just 11 days of treatment.
In addition, AOX has developed a skin analysis system based on artificial intelligence that allows simulating future skin development and therefore identifying the most suitable products.
AOX products are also developed with green formulas without parabens, SLS, petrolatum and gluten and the packaging is made with FSC and recycled paper, for responsible forest management.
AOX is part of “1% FOR THE PLANET” an international organization whose members contribute at least 1% of their annual income to environmental causes to protect the environment.
The results already achieved by AOX
In the first year of direct distribution, the company opened over 110 new doors in Italy and estimates a 70% growth in turnover for 2024.
In 2023, the cosmetics market in Italy reached 12.5 billion euros (+8.9% vs. 2022). Pharmacy is now the third distribution channel, with a growth of 7.4% and a value of 2.1 billion euros.
The global cosmetics industry is experiencing great momentum, with a current value of 427 billion. This value is expected to increase by 6% annually, reaching 580 billion in 2027.
The AOX project was conceived from the beginning for a rapid internationalization of the brand.
Luigi Alfani, CEO and Founder of AOX , explained: “With a long experience in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic sector, together with colleagues from the University of Oviedo we have created something new and capable of innovating this sector. Italian production, the study of an airless system that preserves the products and the technology to support the analysis are our distinctive characteristics.”
