Skinara® Microbiome Labs
At Skinara Microbiome Labs, we know the future of skincare is at the microscopic level. We began as a microbiome laboratory, specializing in the biological foundations of skin health. Our work focuses on understanding how microbial balance, barrier integrity, and cellular function contribute to sensitivity, resilience, and long-term skin vitality. For us microbial synergy is non-negotiable—disrupting it can lead to dysbiosis, flare-ups or chronic conditions. These principles guide every formulation we create and every skin therapy we design, ensuring our products work in harmony with the skin’s biology to support healthy skin of all ages, and especially for sensitive and pediatric skin.

Clinically proven skincare
For skincare to be truly great, it has to be proven on real people, in the real world. That’s why at Skinara evidence is the heart of everything we do. We collaborate with external research partners to clinically validate our formulations—ensuring they’re safe, effective, and biologically aligned. Each product is tested in several ways; in silico, in vitro and in vivo with diverse panels. Our clinical panels including sensitive and pediatric skin profiles, are used to confirm real-world performance on human volunteers under dermatological supervision. Our testing panels include dermatologists, pediatric skin experts and researchers—ensuring our products meet the highest standards of care. This is our commitment: not just skincare, but skin health, clinically validated and trusted by those who use it.
Trusted by Skin Experts. Loved by Your Skin
Backed by dermatologists. Built on rigorous science. Skinara Microbiome Labs applies advanced microbial and genetic insights to inform formulation, grounded in patient safety, efficacy and long-term skin resilience.

Skin doctors
We work hand-in-hand with dermatologists to ensure our products meet clinical standards for safety and efficacy. Their expertise guides our ingredient selection, testing protocols, and skin condition-specific formulations. Whether it’s acne, rosacea, or barrier dysfunction, our skin doctors help us tailor solutions that respect the skin’s biology. Their insights help shape our clinical testing protocols and post-market evaluations—because everyone's skin deserves care that’s both intelligent and kind.

Practitioners
Our network of holistic practitioners at Skinara Microbiome Labs —including estheticians, naturopaths, and integrative therapists—helps bridge the gap between science and everyday skin treatments. They provide real-world feedback on how our products perform across diverse skin types and lifestyles. Together, we’ve developed skincare that’s gentle enough for young and teenage skin, and safe for use during pregnancy, when hormonal shifts may make skin especially sensitive. They help us refine textures, that feel as good as they perform. We also collaborate on education, empowering practitioners to guide clients toward microbiome-friendly routines.

Geneticists
We partner with geneticists to decode how individual DNA influences skin behavior, sensitivity and aging, among other conditions. It helps us understand how genetics interact with the skin microbiome, allowing us to develop more personalized and adaptive skincare. By studying gene behaviour and microbial diversity, we’re pioneering a new frontier in precision skin health. This collaboration ensures our products are future-facing—designed for the skin you have, and the skin you’re evolving into.
Skinara Bio Serum Probiotic Moisturizer is one of the best hydrating serums for dry skin.

Great for sensitive skin! I have really sensitive skin. AgeScreen sunscreen and Ageless are the only products I currently know of that don't make my skin red and unhappy, thanks a lot.

The Origins of Skinara
A Story of Skin, Science and Purpose

2014
The Science Beneath The Surface
We started our journey as a microbiome research lab, not as a brand but as a question: How can we map skin health across age, ethnicity, climate and hormonal states, starting from infancy through childhood, into puberty, pregnancy and aging? Our journey started with scientific inquiry—and a personal story that shaped everything. What followed has been a relentless pursuit for answers through microbiome science, systems biology diagnostics and precision ingredients.

2016
From Lab to Life
Our research network grew and we uncovered a pivotal truth: the skin microbiome isn’t just a passive layer—it’s a living, responsive ecosystem. Its balance influences skin reactivity and how it responds to stress and its environment. The skin’s appearance, glow, texture, tone, often mirrors what's happening beneath the surface and its two way communication. A thriving microbiome supports skin hydration, barrier function, and resilience—making skin look healthier and more vibrant. Through research and scientific collaborations, we started building our expertise in decoding how microbial communities interact with the skin and with ingredient chemistry.

2017
Ingredients Integrity
Our early research uncovered what conventional skincare formulation often overlooks: ingredient overload. We recognized that ingredients don’t act in isolation—they interact chemically, biologically and ecologically. When too many skincare actives are layered, they can clash chemically, destabilize the skin microbiome thus weakening the skin’s barrier. More is not better when it comes to skin microbiology. Some ingredients leave behind persistent antimicrobial effects that alter microbial balance over time, compromising the skin’s ability to protect, repair and regulate itself. We choose to formulate according to clinical principles—selecting ingredients for their synergistic behavior, guided by biological alignment, safety and supporting long-term skin resilience.

2019
Skinara Inception
We believe great skin starts with deeply understanding it. This belief sparked the inception of Skinara, where we became the first company globally to introduce skin swab alongside gut microbiome testing analyses. Our platform goes beyond cosmetics, capturing advanced molecular insights to reveal how ecosystems interact across the body. This breakthrough defined what we believe is the Gold Standard in Skin Health—an approach that’s not cosmetic and static, but dynamic and biologically aligned. We began by focusing on sensitive skin, diabetic care and pediatric health for early intervention and biologically intelligent formulations.

2021
Exceeding the Standards
We recognized a gap: the long‑term risks of UVA exposure were being underestimated in sunscreens, even as UV intensity increases. The bioaccumulative effects of UVA—linked to skin cancer, immune suppression, pigmentation and premature aging—demand a more rigorous level of protection, starting in childhood. This led us to design the world’s first sunscreen with up to 3× the usual UVA protection of standard European sunscreens. UVA protection needs to be elevated, especially for sensitive, diabetic and pediatric skin, where resilience is not a given. Our mission is to prevent the silent, cumulative damage that begins long before symptoms appear.
