01 · The Pain

A costly disease.
A practical care gap.

Mastitis creates immediate costs and lasting losses. Treatment remains essential when clinically indicated, yet the space between prevention and medical treatment leaves farms with limited external-care options.

$20Bto$32B
Estimated annual global economic burden of bovine mastitis, driven by milk yield loss, discarded milk, treatment costs, labor and premature culling.
Essential

Treatment cannot wait

Antibiotics remain necessary when clinically indicated. BotaniSkin is designed to complement veterinary care, never replace or delay it.

Limited

Prevention reduces risk

Hygiene, nutrition and herd protocols matter, but they do not eliminate mastitis events or the need for workable care options.

Now

Evidence is the gate

Stewardship is tightening while farm economics remain unforgiving. New care must fit the routine and be supported by independent evidence.

Inflammation of the mammary gland, often associated with infection. Clinical and subclinical mastitis can reduce milk yield, disrupt herd management and generate costs that extend well beyond the acute event.
  • Lost output: reduced milk yield and discarded milk.
  • Direct costs: diagnostics, veterinary care, treatment and labor.
  • Long-term losses: reduced future milk production, impaired reproduction and premature culling.

Sources: peer reviewed global burden review ($19.7B to $32B); USDA organic dairy guidance. Farm economics vary by herd, geography and management.

02 · The Wedge

External care built
for the milking routine.

The field POC demonstrated routine integration. The next study will quantify application time, labor and training burden, adherence and workflow disruption.

BotaniSkin botanical udder cream
Two external formats
  • Routine WellnessDesigned for consistent herd-wide use within existing milking routines.
  • Targeted CareDesigned for animals requiring additional topical support.

The first product comes first. This round is focused on bovine udder care, independent evidence and launch readiness. The formulation, manufacturing process and field workflow may support broader platform opportunities only after the first product is de-risked. Human health applications remain exploratory and are outside this round.

03 · The People

Built to execute.

Product development, botanical manufacturing, veterinary fieldwork and commercial execution are integrated within a single operating team.

04 · POC

We didn’t start with a pitch deck.
We started on a dairy farm.

A field POC on a commercial Israeli dairy demonstrated production and operational feasibility. BotaniSkin integrated the product into the farm’s existing routine and observed positive results in use. This was not a controlled efficacy study. The next step is independent controlled validation to confirm, quantify and document the findings.

05 · Roadmap

U.S. organic dairy first.
Wider dairy after proof.

A focused beachhead creates a practical route to design partners, independent evidence and first paid deployments without narrowing the long-term opportunity.

Beachhead
U.S. FIRSTcertified organic dairy
Evidence
DESIGN PARTNERSadoption, repeatability and farm economics
Expansion
SELECTED EUafter evidence and market-specific review
Next segment
WIDER DAIRYafter first-market proof

The sequence: validate with larger U.S. design partners, complete the independent evidence gate, prepare the market-specific pathway and begin first paid deployments before selected expansion.

Why organic first

A defined first customer with a measurable need.

Under U.S. organic regulations, medically necessary treatment cannot be withheld. Once a dairy cow is treated with antibiotics, products from that animal can no longer be marketed as organic. This creates a clear economic need for practical, evidence-based udder care that integrates into existing farm routines.

06 · First-Product Defensibility

Proof, process
and production.

Defensibility is built through independent evidence, proprietary know-how and a repeatable path to controlled manufacturing.

01

Evidence package

Controlled validation, operational adoption data and market-specific records will strengthen the first-product position.

02

Proprietary botanical process

BotaniSkin develops and operates its proprietary formulation and manufacturing process in-house.

03

Controlled production

The manufacturing workstream is designed to improve repeatability, quality control and transferability.

04

Path to industrial scale

A premix architecture is being prepared for future industrial manufacturing.

Current protection: proprietary trade-secret formulation and manufacturing process. Patent strategy: PCT filing in development. Legal counsel: Herzog Fox & Neeman. IP counsel: Luzzatto & Luzzatto.

07 · The Round

A $3M round to move from field feasibility
to market readiness.

Four workstreams. One objective: independent validation and commercial readiness.

$3MSeed round

This round offers the opportunity to invest before independent validation and the first commercial launch. We are looking for investors and strategic partners who can help move BotaniSkin from demonstrated field feasibility to commercial scale.

The confidential data room includes POC materials, the validation plan, and IP and regulatory overviews. Detailed financial assumptions are discussed separately with qualified investors.
