Science-led skincare · UK beta
Hydration, healthy-looking glow, and barrier support.
A lightweight AM/PM serum concept, informed by skin barrier and microbiome research. We are inviting a limited group of UK testers to try it first.
Spots are limited · rolling manual selection · selected testers contacted by email.
The concept
A lightweight barrier-support serum
Rather than another high-strength active, we are designing a gentle, layerable serum that works with your skin — focused on hydration, a healthy-looking glow, and supporting the look and feel of a healthy skin barrier.
Final formula details will be shared closer to beta testing.
Hydration
Lightweight, layerable hydration designed to sit comfortably under the rest of your routine.
Healthy-looking glow
Support the look of fresh, rebalanced skin — the kind of glow that comes from skin in better balance.
Barrier support
Designed to support the look and feel of a healthy skin barrier, informed by barrier and microbiome research.
Routine fit
Fits into the routine you already have
Morning
After cleansing, apply the serum after your toner or essence and before your moisturizer. Always finish your morning routine with SPF.
Night
In the evening, apply after toner or essence and before your moisturizer, as the hydrating step in a simple, supportive routine.
The beta program
Help shape it. Become a beta tester.
Spots are limited and selection is manual and rolling. Selected UK testers receive the beta serum and usage instructions at no cost, then share consumer-perception feedback over four weeks.
Why barrier-first
Informed by barrier and microbiome research
Healthy-looking skin depends on a resilient barrier, a naturally acidic pH, and a balanced skin microbiome. Our approach is to support those fundamentals rather than push the skin with constant intervention.
The founder
Built by a skin scientist
NishLabs was founded by Dr Nishat Zakaria, a skin scientist whose research spans the skin barrier, pH, and the microbiome. The brand exists to bring that fundamentals-first thinking to everyday skincare.

Not yet. We are in beta. The final formula details, ingredient story, and product name will be shared closer to beta testing.
This first beta is open to UK-based adults aged 18 or older. If you are outside the UK, you can join the future-availability list for updates in your region.
Spots are limited. We review applications on a rolling basis and selection is manual, so applying is not a guarantee of a place. Selected testers are contacted by email, usually within 1-2 weeks.
You will get a confirmation email. If selected, you will confirm your shipping and participation details through a secure link, then take part in a 4-week program with short feedback check-ins.
