Skinceptor — biological intelligence for beauty ingredients. Beauty isn't justwhat you see.
Explore the biology underneath it.
Skinceptor connects ingredients, molecules, biological pathways and peer-reviewed evidence — so you can understand what beauty products are doing beneath the surface.

- Niacinamide is molecule Nicotinamide — high confidence
- Niacinamide is molecule NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) — high confidence
- Nicotinamide targets Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) — high confidence
- Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) encoded by NAMPT — high confidence
- NAMPT participates in Nicotinate metabolism (NAD salvage) — high confidence
- Nicotinate metabolism (NAD salvage) associated with Cellular energy metabolism — high confidence
Evidence engine
Every ingredient gets a transparent breakdown of study design, human data, replication, consistency and recency — never a single unexplained score.

Paste a product's ingredient list. See the biology underneath.
Drop in any skincare INCI list and Skinceptor matches each entry against its curated dataset — showing the pathways, processes and evidence strength behind every recognised ingredient, plus a summary of where the formula concentrates. Entries it doesn't cover yet are listed honestly. It never judges safety or product quality.
