ANCIENT WISDOM, MODERN FORMULATION
OMAD
Holistic skincare from traditional chinese medicine
A skincare line built on Traditional Chinese Medicine — the ancient healing system that views skin as one expression of the body's deeper balance. OMAD blends time-tested TCM botanicals with modern formulation to address the root causes of skin concerns rather than the symptoms.
Vegan, cruelty-free, and quietly remarkable.
About OMAD
OMAD was founded by Ze Yan — a New York-based formulator with personal experience of eczema-prone skin and a deep grounding in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The brand draws on TCM's principle that skincare is wellness, that mind, body and spirit are interconnected, and that no single herb works in isolation.
OMAD's formulations combine carefully selected botanical herbs using time-tested methods, paired with modern bio-fermentation technology. Vegan, cruelty-free, and built around restoring balance rather than chasing quick fixes.
The philosophy
In TCM, the skin is read as a map of internal balance. Inflammation, dryness, congestion, sensitivity — each is treated as a symptom of something deeper. OMAD's formulations are built around this principle: address the root, and the surface follows.
The brand's signature ingredients reflect this philosophy. Snow mushroom, considered a yin tonic in Chinese medicine, hydrates the skin the way natural hyaluronic acid does. Fermented rice water forms the base of OMAD's iconic biocellulose mask. Botanical herbs are selected in synergy, never in isolation, because TCM teaches that one herb alone is never enough.
The skin's pH is finely balanced, like yin and yang. OMAD formulates to draw the skin back to that balance, gently.
Why OMAD, for IRA
OMAD sits in our product spectrum as the line for skin asking for soothing, balance, and barrier support — the skin that has been pushed too far by stripping cleansers, over-exfoliation, or stress. It's the line we layer over recovery treatments. It's the mask we send home with clients between facials.
It's also the line we reach for when treating clients who are sensitive, reactive, or recovering — because OMAD's TCM-based formulations work with the skin's natural intelligence, not against it.
What we stock
Biocellulose Restore & Repair Serum Mask: OMAD's iconic sheet mask, with eight calming TCM botanicals in a soothing probiotic, fermented rice-based serum, paired with ectoin and hyaluronic acid. One of my favourites.
Instant Firm and Lift 2.0 Sheet Mask: frankincense, white water lily, rhodiola rosea and six more Chinese herbs, paired with peptides and panthenol to smooth the look of fine lines and support the skin's natural bounce.
Both sheet masks come singly or in a box of four.
The Miracle Balm: a deeply soothing, hydrating 20-minute face mask built on a tried-and-true TCM formula, for dry, sensitive or dull skin, leaving it dewy and visibly refined. Another favourite.
