About

ThreeSkins is a formulation-led skincare company founded by SB, developing barrier-focused skincare for consumers in India and the UAE. The company approaches skincare through physiological lipid architecture, formulation transparency, climate-specific development and a validation programme designed to distinguish what has been formulated from what has actually been tested.

At the centre of ThreeSkins' formulation philosophy is a ceramide-dominant 3:1:1 physiological lipid architecture built around ceramides, cholesterol and free fatty acids. The current formulations use five ceramides — Ceramide NP, NS, AP, EOP and EOS — within two skin-profile-specific formulations. Barrière Profonde is formulated for dry, sensitive and visibly stressed skin at 6.0% total barrier lipids, while Barrière Légère is formulated for oily and combination skin at 4.0% total barrier lipids. Both formulations target pH conditions aligned with the skin's acid mantle.

ThreeSkins also treats delivery architecture as part of formulation design. The formulations incorporate hydrogenated-lecithin-based lipid systems, including liposomal and nanostructured lipid-carrier (NLC) architecture, rather than treating delivery as a separate marketing feature.

The company places particular emphasis on clinical and formulation transparency. ThreeSkins publicly distinguishes between completed formulation work, validation currently in progress and testing that remains scheduled. Formulation architecture is complete. Thermal-stability testing and Human Repeat Insult Patch Testing (HRIPT) are in progress, while bio-instrumental transepidermal water-loss (TEWL) validation is scheduled on serialized production units. The company does not describe a validation milestone as completed before that milestone has actually been completed.

Multiple dermatologists have reviewed the formulations and used the products. ThreeSkins' approach is not to present professional involvement as automatic endorsement, but to build toward evidence-based credibility through formulation development, tolerability testing, stability work and subsequent barrier validation.

Climate conditions are another part of the product-development brief. ThreeSkins is being developed for the environments in which consumers in India and the UAE actually use skincare, including heat, humidity, aridity, prolonged air-conditioning and mineral-heavy water. The company's Gurgaon and Dubai operations reflect this India-UAE development and launch focus.

The brand was founded by SB after he began studying skincare formulations and comparing Indian products with international brands. His conclusion was that the opportunity was not simply to create another premium moisturiser, but to approach the category from the formulation outward: establish the product architecture first and build the brand around what the formulation can genuinely support.

ThreeSkins publishes its formulation architecture, lipid density, target pH and full INCI information so consumers can inspect what is being formulated rather than relying only on marketing claims.

The company is currently preparing for its first consumer launch across India and the UAE. Its Founding Allocation is strictly limited to 1,000 serialized units. Reservations require no payment at registration, with payment requested only after the applicable production and final quality-control process is complete and the serialized unit is ready for dispatch.

ThreeSkins is positioned for consumers who want greater transparency about formulation, barrier science and product validation, rather than relying solely on branding or ingredient trends. The company's underlying philosophy is simple: formulation is the product, and evidence should determine what can ultimately be claimed about it.
