Our Philosophy
Every formula is built on peer-reviewed research and manufactured to the highest international standards.
Why We Started Skingenetix
Too many skincare products hide behind vague label language - 'enriched with', 'infused with', 'peptide complex' - without ever telling you how much of an active is actually inside. That makes it impossible to compare a product to the research behind its ingredients.
Skingenetix exists to close that gap: we publish the concentration of every key active, build our formulas around peer-reviewed research, and manufacture to EU cosmetic standards - so you can see exactly what you're paying for.
Formulated from Published Research
Every Skingenetix formula begins in the scientific literature, not in a marketing brief. Before we formulate, we review dose-response data, delivery mechanisms and interaction studies from peer-reviewed journals.
We build each formula around hero actives at meaningful, published strengths - and we publish the concentration of every key ingredient so you can check it against the research yourself.

Carefully Sourced Actives
We source active ingredients from suppliers who provide independent purity analyses, and each raw-material shipment is verified against its Certificate of Analysis before entering production.
Our formulation bases are chosen for penetration and active stability - not sensory appeal or cost - so the actives can do their job.
Quality Without Compromise
Production follows EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC 1223/2009) with mandatory pre-market safety assessments by independent qualified assessors. Manufacturing facilities operate under GMP (ISO 22716) protocols with documented batch traceability from raw material intake to finished product release.
Every finished batch undergoes microbiological testing, stability verification, and active concentration analysis before it ships. We publish the regulatory framework we operate under because compliance should be verifiable, not just claimed.

The Standards Behind Every Formula
Two things decide whether a cosmetic sold in Europe can be trusted: whether it was assessed as safe before it ever went on sale, and how carefully it was made. Neither is a marketing claim, and neither is a badge anyone hands out. Here is what each one actually requires.
EU Cosmetics Regulation
EC 1223/2009
Before a cosmetic may legally be sold in Europe it needs three things: a Cosmetic Product Safety Report signed by a qualified assessor, a named Responsible Person inside the EU who answers for the product, and a notification filed on the EU's central portal before it goes on sale. It is not an award a brand applies for. It is the condition of being allowed onto the market at all.
What it rules out is the unassessed product — the one shipped straight from an overseas marketplace with no safety file behind it and nobody in Europe accountable for what is in the bottle.
Good Manufacturing Practice
ISO 22716
The international standard for how a cosmetic is actually made: raw materials traceable to their source, equipment cleaned and controlled to a written procedure, a batch record kept for every production run, and retained samples held so any batch can still be checked long after it has shipped.
It is audited at the factory rather than granted to a brand, and that is precisely the point of it — the difference between a formula that is good on paper and one that is made the same way every single time.
Common Questions About Our Standards
Because transparency builds trust. Most brands hide behind vague terms like 'enriched with' or 'infused with', which tell you nothing about how much active is actually inside. We publish the exact concentration of each key active, so you can compare it directly to the published research.
The EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC 1223/2009) is the strictest cosmetic safety framework in the world. Unlike FDA registration for cosmetics (which is voluntary in the US), EU compliance is mandatory. Every product must undergo an independent safety assessment by a qualified assessor before it can be sold. This means every Skingenetix product has been independently verified as safe before it reaches your skin.
We choose high-purity actives from suppliers who provide independent purity data, and we verify each batch against its Certificate of Analysis. We also publish the concentration of every key active, so you can match what's in the bottle to the published research.
We add no synthetic fragrance (parfum). Some formulas contain functional botanical extracts (such as Pelargonium graveolens) that can carry a light natural scent. If you have a known sensitivity to fragrance allergens, please check the full ingredient list on each product page before use.
