In today’s rapidly advancing technological society, TOMO YUME , a company originating in Taichung, Taiwan, is redefining the potential of exosome applications with “gentleness” at its core. From humans to pets, from skin to cells — the company brings intercellular dialogue closer to us, restoring the warmth of life.
Science × Gentleness — A Life Philosophy That Begins at the Cellular Level
"Science × Gentleness" is the brand philosophy of TOMO YUME. Founded by Dr. Kao, this biotech company is devoted to the research and application of high-purity exosomes across industries. By combining its proprietary freeze-drying technology, the company has developed medical-grade skincare, health supplements, and pet care products.
From love for human skin to gentle care for pets' skin — it’s all a quiet conversation between cells, a fusion of technology and emotion. This innovation is supported by its subsidiary Sparkling Sciences, which handles manufacturing and technology transfer, while another subsidiary based in Tokyo, ArcBio Co., Ltd., bridges the company with the Japanese and East Asian markets. Through this vertically integrated structure of technology and services, TOMO YUME is emerging as a standout in the industry.
Founder Dr. Kao — From the Battlefield of Technology to the Depths of Life
Dr. Kao, who served as Special Assistant to the Chairman at Largan Precision, a leading optical company, is a double Ph.D. holder with extensive experience in the competitive tech industry. However, upon returning to Taiwan from Japan, she felt firsthand the immense potential of exosome technology in regenerative medicine and healthcare. She made the bold decision to leave a secure, high-paying position to start a business from scratch.
“Starting a business in a different field wasn’t my original intention, but once I chose this path, I decided to move forward steadily, one step at a time,” she says.
Her convictions are rooted not only in her academic and industrial background but also in many years of Buddhist practice. As both an entrepreneur and a lecturer in Buddhist education, Dr. Kao believes technology should exist to serve life — empowering both humans and animals to regain confidence and beauty.
A Drop of Belief — Exosomes as Gentle Messengers Between Cells
The name “TOMO YUME” is derived from the Japanese word “YUME” meaning “dream,” and the brand logo features a single drop of water. “YOU” symbolizes the beginning of transformation, while the droplet itself represents exosomes — small yet full of vast potential. These droplets carry gentle messages to cells, serving as symbols of warmth and care.
One female user regained confidence in her hair. One Taiwanese mixed-breed dog regained vitality through improved skin health. Each story is proof that TOMO YUME is gently communicating with the world.
Toward the Future — From the Lab to the World
TOMO YUME is currently applying for multiple international INCI ingredient certifications and has established a comprehensive OEM/ODM support system. From R&D and formulation design to final product processing (liquid, freeze-dried powder, spray, etc.), the company achieves a high level of completeness.
The company is also strengthening collaborations with animal care institutions and actively developing exosome products specifically for pets. By bridging the three pillars of human care, pet care, and intercellular communication, TOMO YUME is gaining attention as a rare, integrated biotech company in Asia.
This is a scientific revolution tied to lifestyle, beauty, and belief. Starting from a single bubble, intercellular dialogue gently transforms our daily lives. TOMO YUME continues its journey so that all lives may discover the light of the future.
