San Jose, Calif. – May 13, 2025 – Dr. Barbara Paldus, a leading biotech innovator and founder of Codex Labs, recently delivered a powerful TEDx Talk titled “Healthy Skin Starts From Within.” Throughout her TEDx Talk, Dr. Paldus shares how being a mother of a child struggling with eczema led her to explore the skin-gut-brain biome and develop skincare products that target skin issues from within.

The Founder

Dr. Paldus holds over 50 patents, speaks five languages fluently, has a Ph.D. from Stanford University, and is a serial entrepreneur. She created Codex Labs alongside an innovative team of dermatologists and ethnobotanists to provide affordable, clinically proven skin-gut-brain solutions that support the microbiome and deliver healthy skin, without sacrificing sustainability.

The Mission

In her TEDx Talk, Dr. Paldus discusses how her son was exposed to a preservative in a skincare product, which caused a skin allergy called contact dermatitis. This later developed into eczema and led to an ADHD diagnosis.

“Children who have eczema are at much higher risk of developing ADHD,” says Dr. Paldus. “The skin-gut microbiome is very real.”

Dr. Paldus shares how she challenges the status quo of dermatology with plant-based biotechnology. She believes it is important to transform conventional medicine into a holistic, whole-body approach that considers the interconnectedness of skin, gut, and brain health.

“I firmly believe that skin-gut-brain-biome will represent and usher in a healthier future for the one billion people suffering from skin conditions like acne, eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea,” says Dr. Paldus. “I also believe that in time we will prove that these integrative solutions are not only as effective as conventional medicine, but have no side effects.”
