The PRAC committee

The people who sign
the verdict, by name.

Every verification on SkinBB is voted on by a named, credentialed Product Review & Approval Committee. Six experts. One vote each. No casting votes. No commercial overrides. The dossier, the decision, and the dissenters — all on the record.

The shelf problem

The label says one thing.
The bottle often says another.

01

"Clinically tested" can mean almost anything.

From a 200-subject double-blind trial to a patch test on 12 employees of the manufacturer. Both are "clinical." The consumer cannot tell the difference — until SkinBB does.

— SkinBB ClaimCheck
02

"Natural" and "clean" have no legal definition in India.

A product can claim "100% Natural" while containing synthetic preservatives, emulsifiers and fragrance compounds. There is no regulator stopping it. So we do.

— SkinBB ClaimCheck
03

The factory is the consumer's blind spot.

You can read a label. You can scan an ingredient list. You will never see the facility your product is made in — or whether its GMP certificate is current, expired, or scope-limited.

— SkinBB MakerVerify
The verification process

Six screens. Every product.
No exceptions.

01

LabelCheck

Compliance audit

Every mandatory declaration, audited against Legal Metrology, D&C and FSSAI.

02

Red Flag Screen

Ingredient safety

59-ingredient watchlist. Six categories of hidden hazards. What ingredients become.

03

ClaimCheck

Substantiation review

Every claim — front of pack, website, hero ingredients — evidence-checked.

04

MakerVerify

Manufacturing

The factory the consumer never sees — licences, GMP, industry track record.

05

DermSafe

Clinical safety

Whole formulation, reviewed by practising dermatologists. Combinations. Real skin.

06

ClinicalLens

Evidence quality

SPF reports, efficacy studies, "clinically proven" claims — methodology audited.

The process, end to end

A product takes at least
fourteen days to reach you.

Step 01

Brand submits the dossier

Label, full INCI list, website draft, packaging artwork, manufacturer details, and any required test reports.

Step 02

Six screens, in parallel

Each PRAC member reviews independently — labels, ingredients, claims, factory, formulation safety, clinical evidence.

Step 03

Vote: Approve, Conditional, or Reject

Six named experts. Each casts one written vote, with reasons recorded. Three approvals required to list.

Step 04

Listed — or sent back

Approved products go live with their dossier ID. Conditional approvals must clear specific fixes. Rejections must reformulate.

Stop reading labels.
Start seeing beyond.
