The Story behind IOKA Skin+Science

IOKA Skin+Science was created by Olga Goldberger, a molecular biologist who grew up watching the women in her family care for their skin with simple ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, honey, and milk-based preparations. Years later, after building a scientific career and experiencing her own persistent dryness, irritation, and rosacea, Olga began looking more closely at why even expensive skincare formulas were not working for her.

Her research led her to question the conventional emulsifiers used throughout the beauty industry. When she could not find a formula that met her standards, she created her own, replacing conventional emulsifiers with naturally derived phospholipids that form liposomes and help deliver selected ingredients while respecting the skin’s natural barrier.

Today, Olga continues to formulate IOKA’s products with the same combination of scientific precision, botanical knowledge, and personal care that inspired the brand from the beginning. Each formula is made by hand in small batches in Boston, with an emphasis on gentle ingredients, thoughtful formulation, and long-term skin resilience.

That is exactly why IOKA belongs at My American Goods®: a female-founded Massachusetts maker, genuine scientific expertise, hands-on American production, and skincare created from a real desire to make sensitive skin care better.
