With our gen2-SCA Skin Composition Analyzer and advanced SkinTools data analysis software, we enable researchers, cosmetic and pharmaceutical companies to quantitatively measure skin components, product penetration, and treatment effects in vivo.


SkinTools interfaces seamlessly with the gen2-SCA, efficiently organizing large volumes of skin Raman spectra and enabling quantitative analysis of intrinsic skin composition and the penetration of topically applied products.
