PHOTOTYPES ARE USED TO CATEGORISE SKIN TONES BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF MELANIN PIGMENT IN THE SKIN.

4.5.6 Skin addresses the foundational needs of skin tones that fall within phototypes IV, V and VI that are not being addressed by the skincare industry. We’ve leveraged our team’s 20+ years of experience treating this skin tone range with our understanding of the physiological and biochemical science behind each skin type and their unique needs.
