EXPERT RECOMMENDED

Dermatologist Recommended.

Sabbskin’s formulations are designed around Fitzpatrick response — not a single skin tone. The i68™ framework targets 68 pathways unique to melanin-rich skin, supporting how your skin actually behaves rather than suppressing it.

68 Pathways Mapped

Fitzpatrick + i68™

Your Fitzpatrick response type tells us how your skin reacts to light. i68™ tells why it responds that way — and how to support it. Together they make personalised, appearance-focused skincare possible.
