Skinobs, the pioneering cosmetic testing platform, is marking a decade of operation with celebrations at in-cosmetics Global 2026 in Paris this April. The milestone reflects a significant journey from its origins as a French initiative to its current status as the world’s leading digital referral platform for preclinical and clinical cosmetic testing — now serving more than 7,000 users in 89 countries.
A Decade of Connecting the Cosmetics Testing World
Skinobs was built around a simple but powerful idea: making it easier for R&D managers, cosmetic chemists, evaluation managers, and ingredient makers to find the right testing methods and laboratories anywhere in the world. The platform today references testing solutions from 43 countries for clinical studies and 35 countries for preclinical trials, making it an indispensable resource for the global beauty industry. As the platform’s international expansion has gathered momentum — including the addition of more than 30 testing providers from Asia in 2024 alone — Skinobs has continued to expand its international presence to address testing services specific to each market.
The ‘We Are Testing’ Collaborative Platform
One of Skinobs’ signature contributions to the industry is the ‘We Are Testing’ initiative, launched in 2022 — a collaborative and sustainable way for testing professionals to exhibit at major industry shows worldwide. At events including NYSCC Supplier’s Day, in-cosmetics Korea, in-cosmetics Latina, and in-cosmetics Asia, the initiative has brought together more than 15 players in the testing field under one collaborative stand, creating a unique forum for exchanging knowledge on local market norms, testing technology, and regulatory standards.
Celebrating 10 Years at in-cosmetics Global Paris
The 10-year anniversary celebration at in-cosmetics Global 2026 reflects the platform’s roots: the show in Paris has been a consistent backdrop for Skinobs’ milestones and launches over the years. The occasion also signals the next phase of growth, with Skinobs continuing to deepen its on-the-ground knowledge through laboratory visits, partnerships, and direct engagement with testing centers across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
