MELE | Our Scientific Approach
What’s our scientific approach?
Finally. A process designed to see you and your melanin-rich skin at a cellular level.
Co-created with dermatologists
We teamed up with dermatologists who are from and work with the melanin-rich community. They were part of the journey from the start. We were guided by their insights on what were the biggest skin concerns, needs, sensorial, and optical requirements of skincare that was designed for melanin-rich skin based on their years of experience. They have helped us to identify the unique needs of melanin-rich skin, which are the foundations of our development process.
