What does melanin do?
Melanin is a natural pigment that helps influence skin colour and its response to environmental stressors, including ultraviolet exposure.

A consistent routine supports the skin barrier: cleanse gently, moisturise, and use broad-spectrum sunscreen during daytime.
Why does skin science matter?
Skin concerns vary widely. Understanding your skin’s behaviour helps guide ingredient choices without relying on one-size-fits-all advice.

Introduce new products gradually, follow their directions, and seek professional advice when persistent or concerning changes appear.
