The science behind biomimetic skincare

Scientific precision, natural intelligence

Biomimetic science is at the core of skjur®. Our skincare is designed to mimic and reinforce the natural processes of your skin. Not to cover up or correct, but to strengthen what’s already there. That’s why our formulas work with your skin, never against it.

By uniting the intelligence of nature with decades of pharmaceutical expertise, we create minimalist, effective formulas. Pure, carefully selected ingredients that work together just as the layers of your skin do. No unnecessary additives – only what your skin truly needs to stay hydrated, protected and resilient.

Ingredients working in synergy

Our biomimetic ingredients form a unique complex: they hydrate, protect, and support cell renewal, while working together to strengthen and maintain a healthy skin barrier.

Skin Lipid Matrix

For a strong barrier

Skin Lipid Matrix (SLM) is skjur®’s most distinctive ingredient. This biomimetic complex is modeled after the natural lipids in your skin. Its layered structure closely resembles the stratum corneum – the outer barrier that keeps your skin soft, smooth and resilient.

By restoring and strengthening this barrier, SLM helps prevent moisture loss and supports long-lasting hydration, while keeping external stressors at bay. The result: a skin barrier that is strong, balanced and radiant.

Hyaluronic acid

For deep hydration

Your skin naturally produces hyaluronic acid to retain moisture, but that ability declines with age. At skjur® we use short-chain hyaluronic acid (up to 50 kDalton). These small molecules penetrate deeper into the skin layers, holding moisture where it matters most. The result: skin that feels instantly plumper and smoother, and stays deeply hydrated over time.

Ectoin

For lasting protection

Ectoin is a natural molecule produced by microorganisms that thrive in the harshest environments, from hot deserts to icy polar regions. In skincare, ectoin also binds water, reduces cellular stress and shields against UV radiation and pollution. It helps your skin maintain resilience and hydration, even under daily environmental challenges.

Glycoine

For cell renewal

Glycoin is a natural molecule that helps plants survive extreme conditions of heat, cold and drought. In skincare, it delivers that same vitality to your cells: boosting their energy and supporting natural repair. This helps your skin stay smooth, elastic and refreshed. The result: a vital, healthier-looking complexion with a natural glow.
