High-Performance Microbiome Science for the Global Vanguard.
The first prestige brand engineered to rebalance the microbiome at the bacterial level — for both skin and scalp. Clinically active. Multi-use. Proven.
About Us
AcARRE® Beauty was created on the foundation of utilizing plant and marine biodiversity to create innovative multi-beneficial bioactive treatment products that bring balance to the microbiome for healthy scalp and skin. AcARRE® is inspired by African and Pacific Islander ancestry using natural ingredients crafted for superior multi-performing products that work in sync with the skin’s natural elements.
Developing products with the consumer in mind has been the driving force behind AcARRE’s multi-use products. They are made in small batches with ethically sourced ingredients, ensuring that AcARRE® products not only surpass expectations in quality and made with integrity showing a genuine commitment to social, economic, and environmental appreciation.
The Founder
Dr. Tracey Hicks-Kearse
AcARRE® was not built in a boardroom. It was built from a real need — by someone who understood the science to solve it.
Dr. Tracey is a chemical engineer and cosmetic chemist with over twenty years of experience in product development across prestige skin and hair care. When two people she trusted asked the same question — where is the high-performance product that works on both scalp and skin? — she did not point them elsewhere. She built it.
The answer was AcARRE®: clinically active, multi-use bioactives engineered at the microbiome level for skin and scalp. No unnecessary steps. No compromise on efficacy.
Becoming a founder, a mother, and a full-time scientist simultaneously sharpened her conviction. The Global Vanguard — those who move fast, hold high standards, and refuse to settle — deserved a brand that matched their pace. AcARRE® is that brand.
Dr. Tracey remains Founder, CEO, and Chief Chemist. Every formula is hers. Every clinical claim is backed by the science she has spent two decades mastering.
Our Science.
AcARRE® formulas are engineered at the bacterial level — not formulated to sit on the surface, but to work within the skin’s own ecosystem.
Every formula draws on plant and marine bioactive compounds, processed through a precision engineering method that concentrates nutrients at clinical strength. The result is a microbiome that is actively rebalanced — not temporarily masked — from the first application.
A balanced microbiome does not just feel healthy. It performs differently. Barrier function strengthens. Sebum regulates. Cell turnover accelerates. Radiance is not added — it is restored.
Measurable change. Days, not months.

CARBON NEUTRAL FROM SOURCE TO SKIN
Our Commitment.
Every AcARRE® order plants a Mangrove tree.
In partnership with Ecodrive, we offset 100% of our carbon emissions — across every stage of our supply chain, from source to skin. Not a percentage. Not an offset credit. A tree, planted for every order, every time.
AcARRE® is a carbon neutral company. That is not an aspiration. It is already the standard.
Why Mangroves?
Mangroves are one of the most effective and economic methods of offsetting carbon emissions, absorbing 680lbs over their lifetime. These Mangroves are planted in Kenya by locals who provide quarterly updates on the trees we plant, helping to alleviate poverty and providing full traceability. The land on which the trees are planted is usually owned by local tribal communities or federally owned national forests and as well as benefiting the earth, our partnership will create employment for local villagers living in poverty. Amounting to one workday for every 100 trees planted, the community takes part in every step, from collecting the seeds to sewing them.
