Magic Science Corporation, the health sciences company behind the skincare brand Magic Molecule, has made an investment by private equity firm NexPhase Capital.

The investment will fuel Magic Science’s expansion across product, retail distribution and category-defining, science-backed skincare and household consumer goods.

“This partnership with NexPhase allows us to scale and spread awareness about hypochlorous acid, a fascinating molecule our white blood cells naturally produce to fight bacteria. Your body makes it. We bottled it,” said Justin Kerzner, co-founder and chief executive officer of Magic Science Corporation. “Magic Science Corporation was founded on the belief that safe, science-backed skincare and household solutions should be accessible to everyone.”

Standout Brand

Magic Science Corporation is a leading FDA- and EPA-registered manufacturer of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) in the US, with patented processes that deliver HOCl consumer goods with reportedly one of the longest shelf lives on the market. With full vertical integration through the earlier acquisition of its manufacturer, Magic Science Corporation controls its production from solution to packaging to shelves, ensuring “top-tier” purity, stability and efficacy, per brand officials.

“Magic Molecule is redefining the way consumers think about skin health,” said Jamie Kaufman, partner at NexPhase. “The team has built a standout brand, powered by a vertically-integrated platform that enables both consistent quality and rapid product innovation. We’re excited to partner with Magic Science Corporation to help bring effective hypochlorous acid-based solutions to more people, across more categories.”

Since its founding in 2023, Magic Science Corporation has built a profitable, high-growth business, anchored by its fast-growing consumer brand, Magic Molecule. Magic Molecule’s FDA-cleared Antimicrobial Skin Spray is formulated to help with over 50 common skin problems — from flare-ups and breakouts to sunburn and everyday irritation. Dermatologist-tested and suitable for all skin types, Antimicrobial Skin Spray is carefully formulated for all aged one month and up.

Originally launched as a direct-to-consumer brand, Magic Molecule has rapidly expanded and established a robust, omnichannel presence nationwide in retailers such as Target, ULTA Beauty and Amazon, as well as more than 1,000 specialty retailers. The company’s growth is powered by strong consumer demand and the company’s scientific leadership in HOCl formulation.
