SKN TO SKN press release
SKN TO SKN is taking the guesswork out of pregnancy-safe skincare.
INTRODUCING THE FIRST EXPERT-LED SKINCARE BRAND
FORMULATED SPECIFICALLY FOR WOMEN WHO ARE TRYING TO
CONCEIVE, PREGNANT, BREASTFEEDING AND POSTPARTUM.
FOUNDED BY A MUM OF TWO WHO LEFT HER JOB IN THE MUSIC
INDUSTRY TO CREATE A SKINCARE BRAND SHE WISHED EXISTED
WHEN SHE WAS PREGNANT.
Designed by Dermatologists, Approved by GPs and Trusted by Mums.
Meet SKN TO SKN, the first clinically proven skincare brand created specifically for
all stages of motherhood, from trying to conceive (TTC), through pregnancy,
breastfeeding, and postpartum. Designed in collaboration with dermatologists and
women’s health GPs, SKN TO SKN offers expert-led skincare that takes the
guesswork out of safe and efficacious solutions for hormonally sensitive skin.
Founded by former music industry executive Sara Stokes, the brand was born
from personal experience. During her first pregnancy, Stokes faced a confusing
lack of guidance on skincare safety, with vague labels, contradictory advice, and
unclear restrictions on widely used ingredients like retinol, salicylic acid and
chemical sunscreens.Balancing Act

“I started this brand from my own
frustrations around the lack of suitable and
effective skincare I could safely use during
pregnancy,
” says Stokes.
“The lack of
education around pregnancy-safe skincare
lit a fire in me. I went into 30+ beauty stores
and no one could give me a straight answer,
every label said ‘check with a doctor’ but
even GPs aren’t trained in cosmetic
ingredients. That’s when I knew something
had to change.
”
Collaborating with dermatologists, GP’s,
cosmetic chemists and women’s health
professionals, Stokes built a category-first
brand that removes harmful ingredients
while actively targeting hormonal skin concerns like acne, sensitivity, pigmentation
and dryness. SKN TO SKN will launch with 4 multi use products that target the
most common skin concerns for women.When Stokes brought SKN TO SKN to market, Boots immediately recognised the
power of the brand’s mission, placing an order before the brand was in production and
backing the brand with a national rollout across 183 stores in the UK and Ireland.
Bridget March, Mother of three and Beauty Editor at Harpers Bazaar, stated:
“Not only is SKN TO SKN a clever concept – satisfying a true gap in the market – but the
products are well executed, with thoughtful formulas that are elegant and efficacious.
No doubt pregnancy-safe skincare is a category to watch, and Skn to Skn are leaders in
the space – producing products that work for the unique and multifaceted needs of new
mothers.
”
All products are 100% free from retinol, unnecessarily high levels of harsh acids and
commonly restricted ingredients during pregnancy. Instead, they feature clinically
backed actives proven to be safe and effective throughout the maternal journey.
“SKN TO SKN is a unique skincare line that’s been formulated with care (and love) with
products that are perfect when tackling every day hormonal changes when it comes to
being pregnant. What I love most is that the products are fragrance free yet results
driven with amazing thought-out active ingredients. I’ve worked in the beauty industry for
13 years and having recently had a baby - this skincare brand is a very exciting new
concept - one which our industry needs.
”

that every formula was tailored for the unique needs of women’s skin before,
during, and after pregnancy. This doctor-led approach guarantees that every
ingredient serves a specific purpose and is safe for both mother and baby
throughout their entire journey.
