THE FUTURE OF SKIN TESTING
PIONEERING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LAB-GROWN HUMAN SKIN TESTING PLATFORM
“Access services and data to meet R&D, claims, regulatory, ethical and competitive requirements.”
Labskin is the only commercially available lab-grown full thickness human skin model that naturally mimics the skins microbiome.
Real human skin equivalent
Thousands of industry tests
Meet ethical, regulatory and competitive standards
The good and bad bacteria that naturally exists on human skin is present on Labskin when testing skin care, cosmetics, health care, drug delivery or wound care products. The Labskin test platform and protocols help maintain an optimum real-world environment that shows the positive or negative impact on skin’s natural microflora.
For testing compounds or formulated products
Modeled for basic or applied research

Our Mission
FOR A NEW WORLD
Customers are more discerning. Regulators are becoming more forceful. Traditional and new competitors continuously threaten market share and margins.
On top of this, new technologies including artificial intelligence and better science are unearthing knowledge about the skin’s microbiome and creating a new world of opportunities.
As we progress, we strive to create better products that do no harm, that increase user welfare and that are developed and validated ethically.
DEVELOPED OVER 12 YEARS
PIONEERING AND ETHICAL
We recognise that change and innovation are continuous.
We have a skin model that’s been developed over 12 years – and 12 years of real life data for our AI models – creating an ideal platform for clients to accelerate the creation of new and better products that are ethically tested, that are cost effective and that meet regulator requirements.

A Re-Imagined Look at Skin Model Testing – Q&A with Labskin
The Labskin model was created by a group of microbiologists at the University of Leeds to study the skin human microbiota and the microbial/host interaction in a controlled environment. Labskin has unique features, including its improved barrier function, dry surface and the expression of antimicrobial peptides which allow the colonization of the model with skin microbiome. We use these defining characteristics to develop methods for testing ingredients and formulations on the microbial community on Labskin.
