Research with meaning
We approach research from a human perspective and only use findings if they are comprehensible and relevant to real solutions.
Scientific Basis
Mallia Aesthetics.
Mallia Aesthetics is a biotech company based in Erlangen, Germany. This is where the 8T3 brand is created: a deep understanding of biological relationships, new approaches to hair growth, and consistent development based on sCD83.
25 years of experience
Research made in Germany.
Mallia is not based on a quick idea, but on more than two decades of research. What began with a discovery in wound healing gradually became the basis for a completely new mode of action.
2001
The origin in wound healing
A discovery has been made at the University of Erlangen: the soluble form of the protein CD83 (sCD83) can have a positive effect on the healing process—and possibly more.

Focus on hair growth
Preclinical studies show that sCD83 acts directly on the hair root. Research is gathering pace with the aim of creating a body-compatible alternative to known active ingredients.

Researching responsibly
Our vision.
Mallia Aesthetics stands for scientific excellence that goes beyond mere effectiveness. Our goal is to decipher biochemical relationships and use this knowledge to develop safe, tolerable, and sustainable applications. We firmly believe that good research always serves humanity.
Our team
With heart and mind.
Our interdisciplinary team combines many years of research experience with the desire to make medical knowledge useful in practice. With expertise in immunology, cell biology, and dermatology, we work toward a common goal: innovation with substance.
Brand essence
Focus on responsibility.
Mallia Aesthetics combines expertise with attitude. The research conducted here is not an end in itself, but serves a clear goal: to develop effective, tolerable solutions – with respect for the complexity of the body and the needs of people. These values form the basis of our work – and the trust placed in us.
Responsibility that leads
Our decisions are based on scientific integrity, not trends. We develop active ingredients that we can stand behind.
Understanding that lasts
We understand the challenges associated with hair loss and use this knowledge to develop products that deserve your trust.

Independent support
With scientific integrity.
Our research is supported by an independent Scientific Advisory Board (SAB). Experts in immunology, hair biology, and clinical research contribute their experience in a targeted manner – to evaluate new findings, ensure quality assurance, and provide critical reflection.
Responsibility
Our principles.
Ethics in research
We work with animal-free systems and clinically tested mechanisms of action. Our claim: progress only when it is ethically justifiable.
Compatibility & product safety
8T3 was developed to be microbiome-friendly, free from irritating additives, and suitable for long-term use.
Transparency
From the origin of raw materials to scientific evaluation, we disclose what is important – clearly, comprehensibly, and without compromise.
Perspective
That's what the future holds.
Our research does not end with the first products. They are the starting point for more.
- New areas of application, such as beard care, are being explored.
- Collaborations with medical and scientific partners are in the planning stages.
- Development work on CD83 is continuing apace, with the aim of creating further effective and well-tolerated solutions.
