Skin aging doesn't start at the surface. I built ATIKA to reach where it does.

This was made for you if...
You lost the weight — your skin and hair are paying for it.
Rapid weight loss accelerates collagen loss, skin thinning, and nutrient depletion — especially when intake drops faster than your body’s repair demands. Your skin and hair need nutrients to stay functioning optimally.
GLP-1 SUPPORT
Your skin in midlife changed. Almost overnight.
You can moisturize dry skin. But you can't topically replace collagen decline, depleted ceramides, or antioxidant insufficiency. Hormonal shifts change skin at the structural level — where topicals can't reach.
Peri/menopause
Hair shedding started — you need it to stop.
Shedding is rarely random. It's biological, and it can respond to the right nutritional support. Zinc, silica, collagen, ceramides and bioavailable nutrients support the recovery phase from within.
HAIR support
You’re investing in procedures. Support the recovery.
Lasers, microneedling, and peels work better when the skin underneath is nutritionally supported. ATIKA is the foundation your results need.
Procedure Support
You've seen what happens. You're not waiting.
UV damage and collagen decline accumulate for years before they're visible. By the time most people see it, it's been building for a decade. ATIKA supports your skin at the cellular level — before the damage has a face.
PREVENTION
You're as obsessed with dosing, purity and sourcing as we are.
No proprietary blends. Every ingredient evidence-based. Every dose clinically relevant. Formulated by a PharmD who wouldn't put her name on anything less.
FULL TRANSPARENCY
The CALM Framework
Four biological systems determine how skin ages.
C
Collagen Integrity
Supports firmness, elasticity, and visible structure.
A
Antioxidant Balance
Helps defend against oxidative stress from daily life, pollution, and UV exposure.
UV light damages skin through five biological systems — collagen, barrier, oxidative defense, cellular energy, and DNA. Here's what's actually happening, and why protection has to work from the ins...
Cellular energy sets the ceiling for skin repair, turnover, and barrier recovery. When it’s constrained, even well-chosen inputs underperform. NAD+ sits at the center of this system.
Selected episodes where Lily Shapiro, PharmD, explains skin longevity, the CALM framework, and how internal nutrition complements topicals and procedures.
Skin Aging: The Science Behind Skin Longevity with Dr. Lily Shapiro of ATIKA | Ep. 49 | 6 May 2026
Well Done with Kat Vong
Are you taking collagen, layering on hyaluronic acid, and investing in skincare — but still wondering what actually supports long-term skin health? In this episode, Lily Shapiro, PharmD, founder of ATIKA, a science-backed nutritional skin supplement, talks about skin longevity, beauty supplements, and what it really means to support your skin from the inside out. We get into the truth about collagen supplements, the skin barrier, how oxidative stress impacts aging, and what consumers should look for before trusting any supplement label.
How to Actually Slow Skin Aging | Ep. 156 | 20 April 2026
The Galina Rivina Podcastina
Why a 10-step routine may be doing more harm than good, which popular supplements have no scientific backing, and what is actually driving skin to age faster than it should. Covers the CALM framework, how to evaluate collagen, the difference between structural and cosmetic hydration, and the case for internal nutrition as the rate-limiting factor in midlife skin health.
"You can drink all the water you want, but if it evaporates from your skin faster than you replenish it, you'll have dry skin."
The Science of Skin Aging: What Actually Works (and What Doesn’t) With Lily Shapiro, PharmD | Ep. 133 | 18 March 2026
One Thing with Dr. Adam Rinde
A science-backed deep dive into skin longevity. Lily Shapiro, PharmD (founder of ATIKA), reframes skincare from chasing surface “anti-aging” fixes to optimizing your lifelong “skinspan.” She unpacks how skin actually ages beneath the surface, why popular solutions like collagen, biotin, and many topicals often miss the mark, and outline four core drivers of long-term skin health: collagen integrity, antioxidant balance, lipid barrier function, and mitochondrial health.
Collagen Doesn’t Fix Skin Aging (Here’s What Actually Does) | Ep. 36 | 23 January 2026
HYDRATE with Tracy Duhs
Conversation focused on skin as a functional organ, hydration biology, oxidative and UV stress, and why skin longevity requires systemic, clinically dosed nutrition rather than topical or cosmetic fixes.
an ingestible approach to skin health and longevity | 4 May 2026
Ellika Dattilo
Dr. Lily Shapiro is quietly redefining how we think about skin aging — not from the outside in, but from a cellular, internal perspective. She spoke about diving deep into clinical research to understand what actually drives skin longevity, beyond trends and surface-level solutions. What emerged from that work is something quite different: an ingestible approach to skin health, built on high-quality, bioavailable ingredients. Dr Lily and myself spoke about what truly supports the skin from a holistic perspective — what works, what doesn’t, and why most approaches miss the mark.
How to Repair Your Skin Barrier + Hydration That Works | 6 February 2026
Another Million Miles Podcast
On Another Million Miles podcast, we discuss why skin barrier lipids are the foundation of real hydration, not just humectants like hyaluronic acid. We also cover how ceramides support structure at the cellular level, why mitochondrial health influences collagen production, and how to think critically about supplement ingredients and dosing.
Skin Longevity, Not Just Skincare | 24 April 2026
SuperSelf
Pete Ferrari sits down with Lily Shapiro, PharmD, former Wall Street executive, and founder of ATIKA, to explore the emerging concept of skin longevity and why true skin health starts from the inside out. Lily turned her clinical training and analytical background toward a deeper question: what actually drives skin aging? What she discovered led her to create a new category of wellness built not around quick cosmetic fixes, but around supporting the biological systems that help skin stay strong, hydrated, and functional over time.
The Future of Skin Longevity: A Smarter, Health-First Approach with Lily Shapiro, PharmD | 23 January 2026
Experience Health with Rachael Vassar
Discussion on how stress physiology, inflammation, and recovery capacity influence skin aging, and why foundational, evidence-based nutrition is essential for long-term skin function and stability.
Skin Longevity for Men: The Science Behind Healthy Aging and Smarter Skincare
Mind Over Masculinity
Episode exploring why men are rethinking skin health — covering collagen misconceptions, antioxidant systems, and how internal nutrition, lifestyle, and the hidden drivers of skin aging work together to keep skin resilient over time.
