Honest & Practical Skincare
Our Product Standards & Sourcing Guidelines
At Skinoly, we do not make exaggerated medical claims or miracle cure promises. Our guides focus on practical, product-wise facts: what each formulation does, who it suits, how to verify genuine packaging, and how to use it safely in Bangladesh's climate.

* Transparency & Non-Clinical Notice: Dr. Najifa Tabassum acts as an independent medical consultant under written editorial agreement. Credentials (MBBS, DDV, BMDC Reg.

Editorial review confirms scientific accuracy in educational articles and does not establish a doctor-patient relationship or provide individual medical diagnosis.
Two-Tier Verification Methodology
We distinguish clearly between physical product examination in our Dhaka facility and documentary formulation and literature review (we do not conduct in-house chemical synthesis):
✓ Tier 1: Physical Warehouse Intake Inspection (100% of Inventory)
Every unit received at our Banani warehouse undergoes a physical 6-point intake inspection before placement into our live FEFO (First-Expired, First-Out) dispatch queue:
- Factory Seals: Intact tamper-evident shrink-wrap, foil safety seals, or outer security tape.
- Batch Lot Codes: Embossed or dot-matrix batch codes on both unit and secondary carton.
- Barcode Scanner Verification: GTIN and manufacturer data cross-check using available GS1 and manufacturer records. Barcode matching is one verification signal, not standalone proof of authenticity.
- Packaging & Typography: Packaging print sharpness, regulatory typography, and holographic security marks.
- Container Structural Integrity: Zero leakage, pressure-seal defects, or container deformation.
- Expiry Date Logging: Shelf-life expiration date logged directly into warehouse stock records for FEFO dispatch.
✓Tier 2: INCI Declaration & Formulation Desk Review
Formulation attributes (e.g. UV filter photostability, comedogenic rating, pH suitability) are evaluated by reviewing the brand's published INCI declarations, manufacturer technical safety dossiers, and peer-reviewed journals (JAAD, British Journal of Dermatology). Skinoly does not operate an in-house chemical synthesis laboratory; all cosmetic claims reflect published dermatological literature and official manufacturer documentation.
