THE NEXT STEP IN THE SCIENCE OF SKIN CARE |
The mass customization trend -- in which consumers
can get anything tailor-made to their needs--has hit
the skin care market. A company called Lab21,
headquartered in Stony Brook, NY, creates individually
formulated products based on a quantitative genetic test.
Customers take an at-home DNA test (by swabbing the inside
of their cheek) and answer a questionnaire about health
for their skin, Lab21's SkinProfiler System then creates
a custom formula to treat specific conditions --
for example, acne, redness or aging. Prices range from
$80 for 2.5 oz. of antioxidant fluid with SPF to $600 to
a complete custom skin-care line including face cream,
eye cream and cleanser.
