We cater our products, research, and development exclusively to darker skin tones; phototypes 4, 5, and 6 on The Fitzpatrick Scale. That’s why we thought it only right to wear our philosophy on our sleeves, so to speak—and name our melanin-centric brand, 4.5.6 Skin.

Our products are researched, developed, manufactured, and customised in our proprietary laboratory located in the heart of the French Cosmetic Valley. You can find us on Google Maps here.

In this case, we will bear the cost of return shipping.

You will be responsible for any fee associated with shipping the products back to us.
