Taxa

Taxa Technologies is a San Francisco and Tokyo synthetic-biology startup engineering the human skin microbiome. Its debut consumer product is a shelf-stable probiotic deodorant cream: a single application of Taxa Probiotics (25.4 billion CFUs in a base of water, mango butter, and sunflower extract) lasts one week by swapping out the skin microbes responsible for body odor, with a line focused on Wakiga (severe underarm odor). The company frames the skin microbiome as a platform whose microbes drive body odor, UV absorption, and mosquito attraction. Backed by Matrix Partners, Taxa currently runs a product waitlist and publishes a consumer marketing site with People, Science, Terms, and Privacy pages, but no public API, developer documentation, or SDKs.

Taxa is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Frontier, Biotechnology, Synthetic Biology, and Microbiome.

Taxa’s developer surface includes support and 4 more developer resources.
