Our Story

Who are we?

Skineance, the anti-aging brand born from biomimicry

Skineance is an anti-aging skincare brand founded in 2008 and owned by Intersourcing S.A., a Belgian company based in Waterloo and led by Jean-Sébastien Vierendeel. Today, the brand offers six product ranges: Snake Peptide, Snail Secretion, Active Retinal 8, Dragon's Blood, Wrinkle Filler, and Magic Serum. Each range is built on the same principle: carefully selected active ingredients proven to work, with every formula independently tested for efficacy before being released to the market.

Why Skineance Exists

The world's biggest skincare brands have relied on the same ingredients year after year. Not because they are the most effective, but because they are the cheapest to produce. Meanwhile, nature had already developed far more powerful mechanisms for protection and repair in places few had ever thought to explore.

Skineance was born from a different belief: choose an active ingredient because it works, never because it is inexpensive.

None of these ingredients were a secret. They had been documented for years. What was missing was the willingness to extract them, refine them, and above all, clinically prove that they delivered on their promises. That is the gap Skineance set out to fill.

We create skincare for people who value evidence over marketing claims. Since 2008, one conviction has guided everything we do: nature has been conducting research for millions of years—our role is simply to know where to look.

Inspired by nature. Validated by science.

Our Mission

To make powerful skincare accessible to everyone, inspired by nature and validated by science. The same active ingredients found in premium creams costing hundreds of euros, without compromising on quality or effectiveness.

Our Vision

To reinvent anti-aging through biomimicry and innovation. To move beyond empty marketing promises with fewer superlatives and more visible, measurable, and scientifically proven results.

Our philosophy:
biomimetics

The idea behind biomimicry is simple. Nature has spent millions of years solving the very challenges our skin faces every day: protecting itself, repairing damage, and regenerating. Rather than artificially creating new molecules, Skineance studies these natural mechanisms and either reproduces or extracts them, depending on which approach delivers the best results.

The snake’s secret

Some snake venoms temporarily paralyze the muscle contractions of their prey. Syn-Ake® reproduces this mechanism: it is a synthetic peptide developed in a laboratory that helps relax the muscles responsible for expression lines. No snakes are involved in its production.

Collagen regeneration

When its shell is damaged, the Helix Aspersa Müller snail repairs it using its own secretion. Rich in allantoin, collagen, and elastin, this certified organic ingredient is used in our formulas to deeply nourish and help repair the skin.

It is this combination of nature's intelligence and scientific rigor that makes Skineance unique.

A promise is only meaningful if it is proven

Every Skineance formula is tested by an independent laboratory on a panel of at least 20 participants before it is ever considered for launch.


We never bring a product to market based on intuition or a trendy ingredient. If it does not deliver clear, measurable, and lasting results on the skin, it is not released.

That commitment—not a marketing slogan—is what "validated by science" truly means at Skineance.

At Skineance, we never compromise on what truly matters

Our commitments

An active ingredient chosen for its effectiveness
Production cost never determines our choice of active ingredients. We select the ingredient that delivers the best results, then build the formula around it.
A formula controlled down to the very last bottle
A formula that performs well in the laboratory is not enough. It must remain consistent all the way to your hands. Every batch undergoes a quality control inspection before shipment, without exception.
Straightforward communication
We communicate clearly about the ingredients in our skincare products, our testing methods, and the results you can realistically expect. No exaggerated claims in place of real evidence.
