Skin Genes

Evidence-Based Personalized Skin Care

Your DNA data can provide useful insights about your skin. Make informed skin-care choices with our personalized advice on lifestyle, nutrition and cosmetics.

Skin properties like moisture, elasticity, pigmentation and wrinkles are highly heritable.

Learn about your body’s own tendencies and responses involved with these skin properties:

◈ Elasticity and wrinkling

◈ Hydration

◈ Moisture

◈ Skin glycation

◈ Skin inflammation

◈ Dark pigmentation spots

◈ Sagging eyelids

 

An empowering genetic report with crystal clear insights.

This Skin Genes report presents your skincare genetic analysis. It reviews your body’s inherited tendencies and responses involved in skin’s health and aging.

The report guides you with simple, short texts and personalized experts’ advice on recommended diet, lifestyle and cosmetic products to suit your genetics.

 

Let your DNA guide you with valuable personalized beauty advice.

Our DNA is the blueprint for our body. It is coded with 4 nucleotides (‘letters’), which create the genes that serve as templates for the proteins that we are made of. Our DNA is 3 billion letters long, and is very similar from one person to the other. However, we do differ in about 10 million nucleotides on average. These Single Base-Pair Variations (SNPs) are behind the differences between us, from looks and behavioral tendencies to metabolism and health.

Remarkable breakthroughs of the last decades allow us to read into our genetic code. We can associate the SNP of a gene with corresponding changes in an enzyme’s activity. Along with supportive evidence from biochemical research and epidemiological studies, it becomes possible to anticipate how these variants change a biochemical response or even an organ’s performance.

Understand your skin and make gene-informed choices when buying cosmetic products. Fight skin aging by following the diet and lifestyle habits that suit your inherited needs.

 

Backed By Science

Statistical significance and predictive power come first.

As scientists around the world publish multitudes of human genetic studies each year, we follow a rigorous quality assurance process to sift through the large data sets. We make sure that each of our tests is evidence-based, and the interpretations we provide are based on statistically-sound studies with large cohorts.

These days there is an abundance of Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) and meta-analysis studies that pool as much as half a million individuals (!), solidly associating a SNP with an affected trait. In any case, our standard statistical significance level is of P-value of 5% or better, with added Bonferroni correction when multiple factors are tested.

Boost your health and wellness with evidence-based advice and solid science. Unravel your inborn tendencies and predispositions and make informed decisions in choosing the right diet, exercise regimes, cosmetics and other lifestyle habits.
