The Story of Dr. Liia — How a Patient, a Mother, and a Scientist Created EpiLynx
Liia Ramachandra carries many identities in her daily life:
CEO.
Mother.
Doctor.
Scientist.
Patient.
But it was the last role — patient — that changed everything.
There’s a saying: “Necessity is the mother of invention.”
EpiLynx by Dr. Liia was born exactly that way — out of necessity, out of struggle, out of a moment where something simply had to change.
When the Person Helping Others Needed Help Herself
Dr. Liia was in the prime of her career, serving as an executive at one of the world’s top pharmaceutical companies. Her life was full, demanding, successful. She had just welcomed her third child.
But her body was beginning to break under the pressure.
Her blood pressure spiked.
Her psoriasis flared uncontrollably.
Her joints ached.
She was diagnosed with gluten sensitivity.
Her skin reacted to almost everything she touched.
Doctors prescribed more medications.
Work demanded more hours.
Her body gave more warning signs.
Yet she kept pushing — as mothers do, as leaders do, as women often feel they must do.
Until one day, she stood in front of the mirror, staring at the angry red patches across her face and body.
That moment was her turning point.
She didn’t want to cover up her symptoms anymore.
She wanted to understand them.
She wanted to heal them.
She wanted to make something better — not only for herself, but for everyone who felt forgotten by the beauty industry.
Two Scientists. One Mission. A Shared Fight for Better Skin Health.
Her husband, Dr. Sumant, had spent decades working as a senior executive in global healthcare companies. A physician, scientist, and business leader, he holds:
Dr. Liia, with her PharmD and Ph.D. in Chemistry, is a cosmetic chemist and pharmaceutical scientist.
Together, they have more than 30 years of experience developing life-saving cancer medications, researching immunology, and advancing patient care.
But now the patient in front of them was Liia herself.
So they made a decision that would change their lives:
They would build what the industry had never built for people like her — medically-clean, allergen-safe skincare and cosmetics.
EpiLynx Began the Way All Revolutionary Things Do: Small. Hopeful. Determined.
In the early days, there were no labs, no teams, no shelves full of products — only a kitchen table, a handful of raw ingredients, notebooks full of research, and a deep desire to feel healthy again.
The first formulas were simple:
A serum.
A cream.
Just enough to soothe her own skin — and to prove that safe beauty was possible.
Those early creations worked.
They brought relief.
They helped her skin heal.
And soon, others who struggled with allergies, sensitivities, eczema, and autoimmune conditions found comfort in them too.
What started as two products for one person became an entire line designed for thousands.
Today: A Fully Independent Beauty Lab in Los Angeles
EpiLynx now develops, manufactures, and distributes its own products from Los Angeles, California.
Every formula still follows the same promise:
✔ medically-clean
✔ allergen-safe
✔ gluten-free
✔ nut-free
✔ sensitive-skin-friendly
✔ backed by science and compassion
What began as one woman’s battle became a community of people finally finding products that don’t hurt their skin.
