One application
Three days coverage
Infinite empowerment
Microskin™ is a revolutionary skin care technology that has changed what is possible in both the skin care and cosmeceutical industries. For several years the patented Microskin™ technology has lead the way in providing a solution for a variety of skin conditions; today Microskin™ technology is being applied into widely used consumer products so everyone can benefit from long lasting, waterproof, durable and breathable skin care solutions that are only available with Microskin™.
What is Microskin™?
Microskin™ is a patented simulated second skin technology made of natural food grade ingredients that is formulated to act exactly as your skin does while providing a protective barrier that is waterproof, breathable and sheds exactly the same way your natural skin does. Once applied Microskin™ is durable, flexible, and it won’t rub off on clothing or linen. Microskin™ is waterproof, allows your skin to breathe and is suitable for men, women and children with all skin types.
The Microskin™ film has a texture very much like honey, it is a transparent amber gold colour that is odourless and extremely sticky. It is made from food grade ingredients and is safe for women, men and children.
Microskin™ is also extremely versatile, it allows us to develop multiple Microskin™ products that offer improve performance and add value to products that you may already use today.

Since our launch in 2005 we have an exemplary safety record.
All Microskin™ products are manufactured in Australia in a fully licensed TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) facility. Microskin™ products are fully compliant with all regulatory requirements demanded by government agencies and the scientific institutions that regulate the products we make. Only ingredients that meet regulatory approval and can be used safely are used in Microskin™ products. Each ingredient we use undergoes a thorough review before it is included in any of our products. The specialised and award winning group of scientists and skin care experts on our team are qualified experts in their field and continually evaluate any new information referring to the safe use of any existing ingredients. If it is determined through technical enquiry that any ingredients may no longer be considered to be safe or prohibited by law, they are no longer used as an ingredient in any Microskin™ product.
Microskin™ products are manufactured to meet global safety standards required by government bodies including the TGA, FDA, European Union, Health Canada, the World Health Organisation and many others. Microskin™ have reviewed the statements of these bodies to insure full compliance of all our products and where necessary FDA and international registration and certification has been obtained.

+ The Technology
Microskin™ Simulated Skin technology performs in two distinct ways.
Microskin™ products are easily applied to the skin in liquid form. As the delivery agents rapidly evaporate it leaves a waterproof film on the skins surface that looks and feels like your natural skin. During the evaporation phase the Cellulosic and Oil components migrate towards the skins surface and partially enter the Corneum layer. This assists in binding the dried film to the skins surface and provides considerable elasticity to the film.
When the Microskin™ film is removed with the Removing Serum the Cellulosic and Oil bound Corneum Cells are exfoliated with the removed film. Technically, any ingredients which remain on the surface of the skin or in the Corneum layer are referred to as ingredients which have “penetrated”. They are not considered to have entered the capillary system and therefore are not referred to as having been “absorbed”.
As Microskin™ is formulated on more Lipophilic (Oil based) ingredients these components have a difficult job continuing further down the path of penetration in the Corneum layer due to the lower Epidermal layer having a higher water concentration and therefore considered more Lipophobic (Oil resistant). As we all know Water and Oil do not mix easily – if at all.
The concentrations of ingredients in the Microskin™ film are carefully balanced to provide sufficient penetration only to hold the film firmly onto the skin and not allow high penetration into the Corneum layer. This balancing of components is carefully managed to provide elasticity of the dried film to produce long lasting properties.
To prevent total blocking of sweat glands and hair follicles the ingredient balance is carefully adjusted to allow the skin to “breathe” and perspiration to pass through the Microskin™ film.
When we say that Microskin™ allows the skin to breathe we do not mean that the skin actually breathes and the Microskin™ film continues to allow that to happen. As it is widely known the human respiratory system does not include the skin, even though the human skin is the body's largest organ and makes up about 15% of body weight. It does lots of amazing things but it does not play an active role in helping us to breathe.
What the Microskin™ film does do, is allow the air to reach the skin. Microskin™ is uniquely engineered so when the delivery agent of Microskin™ rapidly evaporates it creates microscopic vents in the Microskin™ film which allows oxygen from the air to reach the skin. Oxygen exposure of the human skin is considered important for maintaining a healthy skin. Microskin™ allows this to happen.
A further important property of the Microskin™ film is it allows perspiration to pass through the film and does not stick to hair allowing your hair to continue to grow. Facial hair will also continue to grow so the male members of our Microskin™ family of users will still have to shave. However as the Microskin™ film is extremely resistant to water and has extremely high adhesive and strength properties careful shaving may be carried out without damage to the Microskin™ film.
Again the innovative engineering of Microskin™ allows it’s unique adhesion, water resistance and elasticity properties to be used without blocking the skins pores through which perspiration passes to the air. When the body begins to sweat it is not unusual to observe beads of perspiration forming on the surface of the Microskin™ film. Sweat does not harm or damage the Microskin™ film.
These Microskin™ properties further demonstrate the uniqueness of Microskin™ and the incredible functionality it offers as a simulated second skin.
+ How long does Microskin™ last?
Independent studies have proven that Microskin™ simulated second skin lasts on the skin for 3 days and in some cases even longer.
The wearability of Microskin™ products varies with different skin types (oily/dry) and on different parts of the body. Natural oils in facial skin will breakdown the Microskin™ film more quickly than other areas. On other parts of the body, you can expect full coverage for three days with a single application and in some cases even longer.
When Microskin™ products are applied to the hands, the film can break down a little quicker due to the frequent contact and washing and drying of hands. People that have suffered from bad burns are able to get more durability from Microskin™ as the sweat or oil glands we have in our skin are in most cases no longer there delivering oil to this skin which eventually breaks the Microskin™ down.
