"The production of individualized facial care based on hyperspectral measurements is unique worldwide."
– Dr. Lars Rüther, Founder of skinmade
Anyone who wants to improve their skin must understand its language. Let's listen together. We translate individual needs and help the skin regain its natural strength and radiance. Skinmade® is a research result and spin-off of the Fraunhofer Institute and sees itself as a technology leader in personalized skin care. With our Smart Spectrum, we connect your institute directly to Skinmade's cyber-physical production system for personalized skin care:
1. With Skinmade's globally unique hyperspectral measurement, you can analyze your customers' most important skin biomarkers in just a few minutes.
2. Skinmade's artificial intelligence calculates a personalized system care.
3. The personalized system care is produced fresh and personalized in Skinmade's production system in Stuttgart.
Together with you, our goal is to effectively treat skin problems such as blemishes/acne, hyperpigmentation, redness/rosacea, and wrinkles/sagging skin. By best identifying individual skin needs, the skin always gets what it truly needs.

Treating Skin Conditions
"skinmade stands for facial care with the highest effectiveness –
because the skin receives exactly what it currently needs:
Over- or under-care is excluded."
– Dr. Lars Rüther, founder of skinmade
The basis of skinmade's system care is a personalized 2-level biomarker treatment – individual skin problems are effectively treated.
Level 1 - The dermatological basis for treating skin problems is an intact skin barrier. Our personalized Level 1 products regulate skin moisture and lipids, thus bringing the skin barrier and the acid mantle into their biological balance. This allows the skin to regenerate and optimally fulfill its barrier function (e.g., protection against external influences).
Level 2 – Building on an intact skin barrier, Level 2 focuses on targeted treatment of specific skin problems: wrinkles, dry skin, impurities and acne, hyperpigmentation, and redness and itching (therapy-accompanying: rosacea).
Biomarkeranalyse mit skinmade’s Smart Spectrum
The Smart Spectrum is a technology developed in-house by skinmade. Our Smart Spectrum enables a hyperspectral measurement of skin biomarkers. Biomarkers are biological characteristics of natural and/or pathological processes & changes in the body. Thanks to our non-invasive hyperspectral measurement, we can penetrate deep skin layers. By observing the cells' ability to absorb light, we identify skin biomarkers and the current state of the skin.
"Using our hyperspectral measurement, we measure the skin biomarkers lipids, moisture, and collagen in just a few minutes."
– Dr. Lars Rüther
Skinmade's artificial intelligence, which we have been training for 10 years now, interprets this data and calculates personalized formulations that are freshly produced in skinmade's production system in Stuttgart.
The goal is to improve the skin's biological processes. This is a continuous process where the formulations are constantly adapted to the current state of the skin. The skin's biomarkers are thus gradually guided towards their optimal value.


skinmade's personalized production
"We are very proud that we can produce the right cream for every single skin condition ourselves in-house. Each face cream is a custom-made and freshly produced item."
– Viktor Balzer, Founder of skinmade
The production process was developed by us, at the time as scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation. With skinmade's Smart Spectrum, which is located in your institute, we connect your institute simply and easily with skinmade's cyber-physical production system in Stuttgart. You analyze your customers' biomarkers in just a few minutes. Your customers can even choose the scent and texture. The results of the biomarker analysis and the calculated personalized system care for your customers are sent directly and in real-time to skinmade's production system in Stuttgart and are freshly and automatically produced. Within 2 days, your customers receive their personalized system care delivered directly to their homes by mail.
Our company headquarters, laboratory & production facility are located in Stuttgart.
skinmade's personalized system care works at the cellular level
Our personalized system care targets specific skin cells. With sophisticated and innovative penetration systems, we deliberately guide active ingredients into the skin cells where they are needed. We use unique, potentiating active ingredient combinations. Our unconventional and innovative approach allows us to, for example, stimulate the production of the body's own collagen and hyaluronic acid, reduce the production and transport of melanin, reduce inflammation, embed capillaries in the dermis, and much more.
We have the highest quality standards when selecting our raw materials. Naturally, our products are vegan and cruelty-free.
We develop all our products in-house in our own laboratory in Stuttgart. In our development, we always remain true to our scientific origins from the Fraunhofer Institute – innovative and unconventional.


Our Philosophy
We believe that anyone who wants to improve their skin must understand its language. We know that we can understand the skin because we can translate its language and reliably determine its individual needs. Our approach is comprehensible and always transparent. This helps people understand what we do and feel understood at the same time. We accompany people on a process of regeneration and continuous improvement. Along the way, we repeatedly prove our understanding and special skills. In this way, we build unparalleled trust in our brand and our product, but also strengthen people's trust in themselves. We don't tell the skin what it needs, we listen to it. The skin communicates its needs to us, and we understand them. We translate individual needs and help the skin regain its natural strength and radiance.
