Our Story
Where science
meets skin.
SKINTICAL was created on a simple belief: that skincare should be built from the formula outward. Every active has a reason for being there. Every texture is designed to be a pleasure to use.
Canadian Formulation Heritage
The expertise behind the formula.
SKINTICAL products are developed and manufactured in Canada by an established skincare manufacturer with more than 75 years of experience in cosmetic formulation.
That heritage traces back to Vancouver, British Columbia in 1948, when cosmetic chemist Dr. Harold Urist, Ph.D., founded Urist Cosmetics. Today, the same laboratory develops skincare using modern cosmetic actives including peptides, hyaluronic acid complexes, vitamins, antioxidants and botanical extracts.
SKINTICAL is the brand. That formulation partnership is part of the science behind it.
