Brendan Aker | the [pH]ix

Founder

Brendan is the founder of the [pH]ix, a vegan and cruelty-free skincare brand that was born out of his mother’s battle with Breast Cancer and his personal struggles with severe rosacea. Brendan spent countless hours speaking with chemists and dermatologists to find the perfect ingredients that were both effective and gentle on his mother’s radiation-ridden skin.

Through his own experiences, Brendan created a brand that educates consumers and simplifies the skincare world with well-researched products that work for all skin types. He wanted to help others find their own [pH]ix for their various skin concerns and shake up the predatory and convoluted market. The [pH]ix is not just a skincare brand, it is a community that encourages engagement and feedback from its customers.

Aside from his work with the [pH]ix, Brendan works full-time in Martech at Jebbit, loves to travel, hit the beach with friends, and even enjoys making cringey, shirtless TikTok videos. But above all, he remains passionate about his brand’s mission and donates 10% of all proceeds towards breast cancer research.
