Skinade

What Skinade does

Skinade is a UK-based cosmeceutical brand operated by Bottled Science Ltd (registered in Twickenham, founded 2012) that develops and sells ingestible collagen-based skincare products. Its core technology is a liquid formulation built on low molecular weight (2kDal) hydrolysed marine collagen peptides combined with five additional active ingredients (vitamin C, MSM, vitamin B complex, omegas 3 & 6, and L-lysine) at a claimed 95% absorption rate versus 30-40% for tablet supplements. The portfolio has expanded from the flagship peach-and-mangosteen collagen drink into five adjacent SKUs: Targeted Solutions Clear, Derma Defense A&D Boost, and Cellulite for consumer add-on use; and Skinade MD Pre+Post Care (£366) and INsupport for the professional medical/aesthetic channel.

The company operates a dual go-to-market model. The primary channel is direct-to-consumer e-commerce through skinade.com, eu.skinade.com, and us.skinade.com, with international shipping to 22 countries and subscription-style repeat purchase mechanics in 30/60/90-day supply packs. The secondary channel is a professional medical network distributing MD and INsupport exclusively through plastic surgeons, cosmetic dermatologists, aesthetic nurses, and master injectors who prescribe these products to patients undergoing surgical or injectable aesthetic procedures. Pricing ranges from £70 for INsupport to £366 for the full MD surgical programme, with the consumer core product available across multi-pack and travel SKUs.

Skinade holds patent applications on five formulations, manufactures under BRC global food safety standards with EU-approved ingredients, and supports marketing with published clinical data (independent double-blind studies showing 28% hydration increase, 26% fine line reduction, 58% collagen density increase over 90 days). The brand has no disclosed external institutional funding, no parent company, and revenue is not publicly reported. Headcount sits at 501-1,000 employees, and a recent third-party credit assessment (Martini.ai, November 2025) assigned a B4 rating with 0.885% probability of default.
