The science behind a new generation of skincare
Epigenetics is a field of scientific research that is shaking up modern science and traditional cosmetics paradigms. But what is epigenetics, and why has it become a powerful lever for skincare?
Understanding epigenetics, simply
Research shows that while genetics play a role, most visible skin ageing is influenced by external and epigenetic factors - including oxidative stress, inflammation, pollution, and microbiome imbalances. These factors can all contribute to changes in skin quality and resilience.
Epigenetics is like a switch that can turn certain genes on or off, or modulates their intensity, without altering their genetic code.
These switches can be influenced by:
- stress
- diet
- sleep
- pollution
- toxins
- traumas
- UV rays, etc.
This explains why two people with the same genetic make-up (such as monozygotic twins) can have skin that ages differently depending on their lifestyle.
Why is it revolutionary for the skin?
Our body renews around 3.8 million cells every second. Inside each of them is the DNA, which contains our genes - the true biological instructions. These genes control, among other things, the skin's ability to produce collagen, regenerate and resist aggression.
But our genes are just codes. Their activation can be altered by factors such as UV rays, toxins or chronic stress... This is what we call genetic damage and mutations, which can disrupt proper cell function... and leave their visible imprint on the skin (skin becomes duller, less firm, more marked).
The good news? Epigenetic alterations are, to a large extent, reversible and modulable. By influencing the right epigenetic markers through targeted active ingredients and a healthy lifestyle, we can help the skin produce healthier, more functional cells, just as it did in the beginning.

The Epigenetic Skincare - A Radical Approach
Skin Diligent, as pioneer of epigenetic skin science and advanced endocrine disruption testing, we are rewriting your skin’s future by activating longevity genes, stimulating cell renewal, and slowing cellular ageing. With products and supplements designed for cellular fitness, training skin to perform and look at its best.
We formulate from the cell's point of view. Our mission is not only to deliver visible results you can see today, but also to create formulations based on epigenetic science - designed to work with the skin’s natural cellular processes. By focusing on balance, resilience, and longevity, we aim to support healthier-looking skin across the decades.
Our dual-action approach: visible improvements in smoothness and radiance now, with formulations that support long-term skin health
And the first step in epigenetic skincare is to ensure the absence of toxins. Epigenetic skincare is synonym to cellular health. And we can't talk about cellular health without testing for toxins.
