ABOUT PLANTKOS SKINCARE
Plantkos® was developed with clinically proven ingredients to address three biggest challenges: skin dehydration, hyperpigmentation, and redness. As a pharmacist-developed brand, we believe in moving the skincare industry forward through a commitment to safe, sustainable, and effective testing of all our formulas.
Our product testing is conducted on innovative synthetic skin models grown in a UK-based laboratory. These skin models - developed over 14 years and featured in 30 scientific publications - are made from primary human skin cells (keratinocytes) and collagen-producing cells (fibroblasts). They are developed with vital biological components that create normal skin function and fully support the microbiome.
The biggest differentiator of the models we use is they produce their own extracellular matrix, allowing them to mimic crucial natural processes like the production of collagen. This allows for a new level of accuracy in product testing with no human subjects required. This scientific breakthrough allows Plantkos® to effectively target, test and treat melanated skin’s biggest challenges.
Every Plantkos® product has undergone the same series of tests for clinical effectiveness - moisture retention, microbiome testing, skin barrier function, and skin irritation.
At Plantkos®, we care as much about the impact of our products and packaging on the planet as we do the quality of our ingredients. Plantkos® products are packaged in glass and recyclable plastic with boxes made from FSC certified paper. All bottles and boxes are recyclable; simply remove and dispose of the pump and spray first.
