Revolutionising Skincare Since 1991 

Founded in 1991 in Sydney, Australia, SKINLAB has steadily grown to become a leading name in the skincare industry. The idea was born out of the collaboration of visionary minds: Professor of Dermatology Andrew Watson, bio-technologists Frank Aufenburg and Manuel Schwarzkopf, and industrial expert and chairman of CareLine Cosmetics and Care. Together, they pioneered innovative skincare solutions during their work on an anti-eye puffiness formula project in Sydney. In 1991, they decided to harness their collective expertise and passion to establish SKINLAB®, dedicated to developing groundbreaking skincare products.

Our Expertise, Innovation & Commitment

With roots dating back to 1982 through the founders’ involvement in CareLine Cosmetics and Care, SKINLAB evolved from Skin Care Research & Development to industrial manufacturing. Our company is driven by a team of biochemists, dermatologists, and industrial experts based in Australia. Recognizing a market gap in skincare, we focus on understanding the complex interplay of genetics, climate, and cultural skincare habits. This insight allows us to formulate skincare treatments that are not only effective but also safe and suitable for diverse regional conditions and consumer preferences. At SKINLAB, innovation is at the heart of everything we do. Our R&D team continually seeks to create synergistic blends of active ingredients that address specific skincare needs while respecting regional climates and cultural nuances. We are committed to pushing boundaries in skincare science to deliver products that enhance skin health and beauty.
