Celebrity skin meets clinical science: Hudson Dermatology & Laser Surgery’s own Dr. Dhaval Bhanusali is once again reshaping the future of skincare—this time with Martha Stewart at his side.
Martha Stewart, the enduring icon of style and lifestyle excellence, is stepping into skincare—and she’s not doing it alone. Elm Biosciences, a brand she co-founded with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dhaval Bhanusali, is the result of a five-year journey of testing, research, and formulation. Officially launching this September, Elm delivers a streamlined, science-forward approach to aging—offering results that reflect both intention and innovation.
As reported by the Wall Street Journal and the Women’s Wear Daily, this new venture brings together Dr. Bhanusali’s track record of success in prescription and consumer formulations with Stewart’s personal investment in wellness and longevity. The result? A skincare brand grounded in rigorous science and designed for people who value both simplicity and efficacy.
A Dual-Pathway Approach to Aging Skin
Elm Biosciences is built on the belief that healthy, youthful skin requires care from both the inside and out. According to the official press release, the brand takes a dual-pathway approach: treating external signs of aging with clinical-grade topicals, while also addressing internal stressors that accelerate skin aging from within.
Dr. Bhanusali—who also helped develop Rhode by Hailey Bieber—led the formulation of both Elm products from the ground up. With guidance from more than 350 dermatologist advisors and years of clinical insight, Elm Biosciences is more than just a celebrity collaboration. It’s a new model for modern, results-oriented skincare.
The A3O™ Elemental Serum
Targeting external aging with molecular precision
Pairing internal wellness with external care, the Inner Dose™ Supplement is a capsule designed to address systemic contributors to aging skin—such as inflammation, oxidative stress, and hormonal imbalance.
Hormonal support: Formulated to support the hormonal fluctuations that often show up as skin dullness or textural changes.
Anti-inflammatory blend: Key ingredients help to reduce systemic inflammation, a known driver of skin aging and reactivity.
Oxidative stress regulation: The supplement supports cellular health by targeting the stress pathways that break down collagen and elastin over time.
Martha Stewart herself has used this serum throughout its development, stating she has been “extremely pleased with the results” after years of personal use.
The Inner Dose™ Daily Skin Supplement
Addressing internal triggers of aging at the root
The A3O™ Elemental Serum is the hero product of the line, a patent-pending antioxidant serum formulated to address a broad range of external aging concerns: UV damage, irritation, dehydration, and pigmentation.
- Antioxidant defense: The A3O complex works to neutralize free radicals, reduce inflammation, and improve visible skin tone.
- Barrier support: The formula is designed to be effective even on sensitive skin, strengthening the skin barrier while providing hydration.
- Streamlined application: Designed as an all-in-one daily serum, it eliminates the need for multiple steps or layered actives.
The combination of topical and internal care offers a holistic routine that simplifies the path to visible skin improvement.
Elm Biosciences—A Partnership Built on Trust and Expertise
Dr. Bhanusali and Martha Stewart’s collaboration began seven years ago when Stewart first became a patient. That trusted relationship eventually evolved into a professional partnership grounded in mutual respect, shared values, and a commitment to excellence.
“She’s the ultimate influencer,” Bhanusali notes—and not just because of her fame. Stewart’s focus on quality, longevity, and wellness aligns seamlessly with Dr. Bhanusali’s mission to push the boundaries of what skincare can achieve.
Where Stewart revolutionized the idea of “farm-to-table,” Elm aims to do the same for skincare: “lab-to-consumer.”
Elm Biosciences: Redefining What Skincare Can Be
In an industry often saturated with hype, Elm stands out for its restraint, precision, and clarity. With just two products, both developed under Dr. Bhanusali’s direct scientific leadership, Elm offers a routine that’s both minimal and highly effective.
More than just a celebrity-endorsed brand, Elm is a clinical-forward skincare system—designed to treat the visible and invisible drivers of aging, supported by the science of over 350 dermatologists, and led by a formulator who continues to shape the future of dermatology.
