4 reasons why our products are 
highly effective for darker skin tones

Reason #1: 
The Beauty-Enhancing Elixir

Did you know?

Water is the main ingredient in most ingredients.

 

we created a special proprietary “Vitalised water” which penetrates more deeply into your skin, oxygenates, boost your skin metabolism and protects its DNA. Your skin will be  deeply hydrated, brighter and energised.

 

We don’t use hexagonal water because it’s “cool.” We use it because it’s EXACTLY what darker skin tones need. Here’s why:

 

The structure of darker skin is often thicker and prone to water loss, leading to dehydration. Traditional skincare hydration, heavy on occlusives like plastics, suits lighter tones but not darker ones. 

 

For deeper hydration, we replenish and fortify the skin with plastic-free occlusives. That’s why we use Hexagonal water. 

 

By turning water into an active ingredient, we combat dehydration, inflammation, and weakness specific to darker skin tones.

 

Quite frankly, just our water alone blows other brands out of the water. 

But that’s not all. Let’s move on to secret #2.

Reason #2:
Gentle & Nourishing Texture Agents

Texture agents are the ingredient that gives skincare products that smooth, gliding feel. 

Typically, most skincare brands turn to plastics and silicones for this, but they can be harsh on darker skin, causing inflammation and dryness. 


We thought, "Let's switch things up." That's why we use plant-based, amino acid-derived agents—they're gentle on the skin and leave it feeling nourished and soothed.

Reason #3: 
Safe & Natural Preservatives

When it comes to product preservation, most skincare products use endocrine disruptors like parabens and phenoxyethanol. Which can cause irritation and mess with hormonal balance — especially for young women. 

Honestly, we couldn't bear the thought of potentially harming someone's reproductive health. 


So, we took a stand. No compromise.


Instead of using endocrine disruptors, we use a blend of gentle acids and phenylpropanol—a natural alternative that not only preserves but also boosts ingredients’ efficacy.

Reason #4: 
Complex Active Ingredients 
Formulated For Women Of Color

We know darker skin tones are extra sensitive. Therefore, instead of cramming in high percentages of single hero ingredients, we opt for complexes of active ingredients at smaller doses. 

That’s why our formulations not only treat skin issues but also target the root causes, reducing sensitivity and inflammation while boosting the skin's defense mechanisms. It's like giving your skin a team of allies, each ingredient working together for optimal results.

Yes! I'd love to have a radiant skin

Meet our founder

As a woman of color struggling with acne and hyperpigmentation, I was frustrated with skincare from ‘clinical experts’ that didn’t address the specific needs of my skin. 

 

In fact, our research revealed that darker skin tones are physiologically different . And therefore, they require a different treatment. 

 

Sadly, phototypes IV, V, & VI (non-white skin tones) have not been included in research and development or testing - which means that most skincare product that are marketed to us, aren't actually formulated for us. 

 

I vowed that healthy glowing skin should be accessible to everyone.

EMAIL:

hello@456skin.com

how are your products different from the big brands?

Our skincare products are specifically formulated to address the unique needs of women of color. Unlike many mainstream brands, we prioritize ingredients and formulations that cater to darker skin tones and textures, ensuring effective and inclusive skincare solutions.

i keep reading “women of color” on your website. are your products only for black women?

Absolutely not! Even though the term of “women of color” has been associated with black women, it’s meaning is actually much broaded. It includes all women with deeper skin tones such as Black, Indian, Asian, Middle Eastern, North African, and Hispanic women. 

are the ingredients in these products safe and suitable for sensitive skin?

Absolutely. We understand the importance of using gentle yet effective ingredients, especially for sensitive skin. Our products are free from harsh chemicals, parabens, silicones, and other irritants commonly found in mainstream skincare. We prioritize using natural and nourishing ingredients that are safe and suitable for all skin types.

can you explain the benefits of hexagonal water in the formulations?

Hexagonal water, also known as structured water, has a smaller molecular structure that allows it to penetrate the skin more effectively, delivering hydration and nutrients deep within the skin's layers. This helps to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and overall health, resulting in a more radiant complexion.

will these products work for my specific skin tone and concerns?

Yes, our products are designed to work effectively for a wide range of skin tones and concerns commonly experienced by women of color. Whether you're dealing with hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, or dryness, our formulations are carefully crafted to address these specific needs.

how do the plant-based texture agents contribute to the effectiveness of the products?

Our plant-based texture agents provide a smooth and luxurious feel to our skincare products, enhancing the overall user experience. These agents are derived from natural sources and are gentle on the skin, ensuring that our products not only deliver effective results but also feel indulgent and comfortable to use.

are these products cruelty-free and ethically sourced?

Yes, we are proud to say that our products are cruelty-free and ethically sourced. We are committed to ensuring that no animals are harmed in the production of our skincare products, and we carefully select our ingredients from suppliers who share our values of sustainability and ethical sourcing practices.

do you import your product from overseas?

No. Our products are researched, developed, manufactured, and customised in our proprietary state-of-the-art laboratory located in the heart of the French Cosmetic Valley. You can find us on Google Maps here.

can i expect visible improvements in my skin's tone and texture with regular use of these products?

Absolutely. Our skincare formulations are backed by science and carefully curated to deliver visible results. With regular use, you can expect improvements in your skin's tone, texture, and overall appearance. Whether you're looking to combat hyperpigmentation, achieve a more even skin tone, or simply maintain healthy, radiant skin, our products are here to help you achieve your skincare goals.
