Our Story
Hylunia Skincare – A Commitment to Timeless Beauty and Wellness
At Hylunia Skincare, we believe that skincare is more than a routine—it is an essential part of self-care, health, and well-being. Our philosophy is built on the principle that beauty should be both effective and safe, without compromising the integrity of your skin or overall health.
With over three decades of pioneering research, we have dedicated ourselves to creating skincare solutions that address the root causes of aging, rather than simply masking the symptoms. Our mission is clear: to provide high-performance, non-toxic skincare that nurtures, protects, and enhances your skin’s natural beauty.
The Discovery That Changed Everything
In 1987, Dr. Brian Jegasothy, M.D., a world-renowned dermatologist and former Chair of the Department of Dermatology at the University of Pittsburgh, made a groundbreaking discovery. While formulating a skincare product for Dr. Lingam’s infant child, he identified a concerning truth: 99% of skincare products contain ingredients that cause inflammation—the primary driver of premature aging.
Recognizing the widespread implications of this finding, Dr. Jegasothy, alongside Dr. Lingam and a team of experts, founded Hylunia Skincare in 1988—the first skincare brand to eliminate preservatives, artificial fragrances, and harmful toxins long before “clean beauty” became a recognized movement.
The Science Behind Premature Aging: Addressing Inflammation at Its Source
Aging is not solely dictated by time—it is significantly influenced by inflammation, which accelerates the formation of wrinkles, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and skin sensitivity.
Inflammation is triggered by multiple external and internal factors, including:
- chemicals and preservatives in conventional skincare products
- Environmental stressors such as pollution and UV exposure
- Free radicals, which break down collagen and damage skin cells
- Chronic stress and dietary factors, which compromise skin health
Understanding this, Hylunia Skincare was designed to proactively combat inflammation, using scientifically proven ingredients that work at the cellular level to:
- Neutralize free radicals before they cause lasting skin damage
- Reduce inflammation, preventing premature aging
- Enhance collagen and elastin production, restoring skin’s firmness and elasticity
- Repair and protect the skin barrier, ensuring long-term health and radiance
Hydration: The Key to Skin Longevity
One of the fundamental elements of youthful skin is hydration. However, many conventional moisturizers rely on oils, waxes, and emollients that create a superficial barrier on the skin, preventing effective absorption and suffocating the skin rather than nourishing it.
Recognizing this limitation, Hylunia became the first skincare company in the world to introduce plant-based Hyaluronic Acid in 1988.
- Hyaluronic Acid retains up to 1,000 times its weight in water, providing deep hydration at the cellular level
- Facilitates the absorption of essential nutrients and antioxidants, maximizing the efficacy of skincare ingredients
- Supports the skin’s natural repair and renewal processes, enhancing resilience and radiance
Blending Ancient Wisdom with Modern Science
Long before modern dermatology identified the impact of , oxidative stress, and free radicals on aging, Ayurveda—the 5,000-year-old science of life—had already provided holistic solutions for health, longevity, and radiant skin.
Hylunia integrates Ayurvedic principles with cutting-edge scientific research to create a comprehensive skincare approach that nurtures both skin and well-being. Our formulas incorporate:
- Turmeric, Ginger & Clove – Powerful natural anti-inflammatories that brighten and restore balance to the skin
- Plant Stem Cells from Grape, Lotus & Tomato – Supporting cellular renewal and collagen production
- 12 Advanced Peptides – Targeting fine lines and enhancing skin firmness
This synergistic blend of nature and science ensures that every Hylunia product delivers measurable results while being exceptionally gentle on the skin.
