Mother Science in the UK: Our Guide to the Range

Mother Science is the skincare brand built around Malassezin, a naturally occurring skin molecule that the brand has recreated through biotechnology and patented for skincare use. It can be hard to find in the UK. This is our guide to the Mother Science pieces we stock at Glow Trend, what each one does best, and how to put them together.

Why Mother Science

Rather than building a range around a long list of ingredients, Mother Science starts with one molecule and explores what it can do. Malassezin is an antioxidant that runs through the entire collection, working on dark spots in one formula, on barrier repair in another, and alongside retinol in a third. Each product then adds carefully chosen supporting ingredients, from niacinamide and alpine rose extract to growth factors, copper peptides and skin-mimicking lipids. The result is a small, focused range that is easy to understand and easy to use together. Like everything in our edit, each Mother Science product was researched and tested before we chose to stock it.

Molecular Hero Serum

The brand's signature serum for dark spots, sun damage and uneven tone. Malassezin targets hyperpigmentation in three ways, while niacinamide hydrates and soothes and alpine rose extract supports elasticity and calms visible redness. The texture is lightweight, and the formula is suitable for all skin types and tones, leaving the complexion smoother, brighter and more even. Shop Molecular Hero Serum

Molecular Genesis Barrier Repair Moisturiser

A moisturiser that uses Malassezin to strengthen and restore the skin barrier, forming a moisture-sealing shield for all-day softness. Growth factors and copper peptides work on firmness and fine lines, hyaluronic acid hydrates instantly, and squalane and a lipid concentrate replenish the barrier and help prevent moisture loss. It absorbs instantly with a non-greasy finish, so it suits both morning and evening. Shop Molecular Genesis

Retinol Synergist

Retinol Synergist pairs Malassezin with encapsulated retinol, combining the gold standard of skin renewal with Malassezin's own smoothing and barrier-calming benefits. The intention is to soften fine lines and wrinkles and refine texture while easing the adjustment period that often comes with retinol. A lipid concentrate plumps and moisturises, and trehalose soothes and helps retain moisture. Shop Retinol Synergist

Building a Mother Science routine

The core routine is two steps. Morning and evening, apply two pumps of Molecular Hero Serum to clean skin, then follow with Molecular Genesis over the face and neck. To bring in Retinol Synergist, we suggest keeping it for the evening, as with any retinol, and finishing with Molecular Genesis. In the morning, always complete your routine with sunscreen.
