Taxa
Taxa Technologies is a San Francisco and Tokyo synthetic-biology startup engineering the human skin microbiome. Its debut consumer product is a shelf-stable probiotic deodorant cream: a single application of Taxa Probiotics (25.4 billion CFUs in a base of water, mango butter, and sunflower extract) lasts one week by swapping out the skin microbes responsible for body odor, with a line focused on Wakiga (severe underarm odor). The company frames the skin microbiome as a platform whose microbes drive body odor, UV absorption, and mosquito attraction. Backed by Matrix Partners, Taxa currently runs a product waitlist and publishes a consumer marketing site with People, Science, Terms, and Privacy pages, but no public API, developer documentation, or SDKs.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Taxa the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Taxa scores 11.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Taxa
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Taxa. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
