About the lab
Bridging Korean beauty research and global brands
SkinStandard began in 2013 as BIOSTANDARD, researching beauty technology with anti-aging at its core. We took our current name in 2024.
We offer the capability of a full research lab as a service to brands that do not have one. You focus on the brand. We take care of the science and development.
Vision
To lead K-beauty technology transfer worldwide, making Korean beauty innovation available to any brand.
Beauty technology that crosses borders and transforms brands
Mission
To close the gap between cutting-edge Korean beauty research and global brands, giving partners the full technical support they need to create exceptional products.

What's next
Lab-verified AI for cosmetic R&D
FormulArk™ AI
From ingredient regulations to formulation, we are building an AI that answers with our own lab data. It learns from failed formulas as well as successful ones, and every suggestion passes a scientist's approval and real lab testing before the results flow back into the model.
As of Q4 2026, we are building the data foundation.
