I am so pleased to share that Arcaea (pronounced Ar-kay-uh), a new company built on the Ginkgo Bioworks platform, launched today with the mission to build a new, regenerative future for the beauty industry through expressive biology — where biology is used as a creative tool for self-expression.
Armed with $78M in new funding from a Series A round — which Wittington Ventures proudly participated in — Arcaea will grow new ingredients and product experiences for beauty through biology. The company will do this by leveraging technology such as DNA sequencing, biological engineering, and fermentation to activate unique storytelling that can only be told because of the power of biology.

A huge congrats to the entire Arcaea team! 🔥
