Younger Inc. is not just a symbol of luxury and scientific innovation in the beauty industry — it's a testament to passion, dedication and a deep- rooted purpose. At its core are the co-founders and their innovative, inclusive and environmentally responsible vision and mission, led by Cosmetic Scientist Faiza Hussain.

A vision forged from personal experiences, a relentless pursuit of excellence and a burning desire to make a difference in the world of skincare and wellness for melanin-rich skin.

Faiza Hussain,  CO-FOUNDER YOUNGER® INC

MSC SKIN SCIENTIST, ADVANCED ANTI-AGEING SOLUTIONS AND ORGANIC SKINCARE FORMULATIONS

As early as eight years old, Faiza was fascinated with skin health, winning BBC Blue Peter competitions for writing articles on dry skin and eczema and how our food impacts our skin. She would then go on to create homemade formulas using only natural ingredients such as herbs, fruit juices and extracts to solve her skincare problems. 

Driven towards academic pursuits from wanting to understand skin physiology at a cellular level, Faiza achieved an MSc in Cosmetic Science, Safety Assessments and further education in Advanced Organic Science, Advanced Anti ageing Solutions and Skin of Colour. Understanding skin concerns like premature ageing, photoageing, hyperpigmentation, PIH, discoloration and hormonal skin changes played a pivotal role during Faiza’s R&D.

“Skincare has been a personal and passionate journey for me. As a mother, with a fast-paced life, I was tackling many skin challenges and was frustrated at the lack of effective anti-ageing skincare products available that met the needs of melanin-rich skin like my own". - Faiza Hussain 

Fast track over a decade: Faiza would go on to formulate hundreds of products, win multiple beauty awards, be invited to be a judge at InCosmetics and a key speaker for P&G, as well as heading R&D and developing products for some of the world's leading cosmetic brands taken to market by globally recognised industry giants.  

"Hyperpigmentation and prematurely ageing skin became my pain points in adult life and for the last twelve-plus years my career has been behind the scenes developing in the laboratories for some of the world's leading skincare brands, marking my presence in an industry I had grown to love. Yet, I still remained unsatisfied with the availability of products available with the technology and ingredient capabilities. The market offering often does not cater to the unique needs that are suitable for melanin-rich skin". - Faiza  

The skin barrier's primary role is to protect the body from external aggressors and retain moisture. In melanin-rich skin, visible trauma (like scars and hyperpigmentation) can act as an added barrier. It often thickens or hardens as a protective response, prematurely ageing and making it more challenging to permeate with skincare. This dense composition of melanin can act as a barrier, making it challenging for products to penetrate and work effectively. Traditional formulas treat the skin's surface the same and lack the technology to reach deeper layers of skin concerns.

While beautiful and resilient, melanin-rich skin, has its unique set of challenges. Addressing these concerns requires a deep understanding of the skin's composition and a tailored approach to treatment, ensuring both efficacy and safety. 

"I believe with the team at Younger, I could offer something that wasn’t already on the market - A medical-grade game changer". 

YOUNGER INC. CO-FOUNDERS

A meeting of summer 2021 with award winning, business and technology renowned entrepreneur Syed Ahmed quickly revealed a shared vision and passion. Faiza and Syed both recognised a significant gap in the market: advanced anti-ageing skincare and wellness solutions suitable for ALL skin tones but inclusively developed for the unmet needs of melanin-rich skin. It was this mutual understanding and determination to address this need that forged the partnership and laid the foundation for a joint venture. Younger Inc. was born!  

A FIRST OF A KIND & PROPRIETARY ANTI AGEING FORMULA

Younger Inc. products are scientifically developed with even the most sensitive complexion in mind. This is smart skincare, that delivers serious results. A sophisticated selection of tech-enhanced vegan ingredients that target only irregular melanin to preserve your natural skin tone while correcting pigmentation, rough texture and age spots. Our patent-pending complex is at the heart of every concentrated formulation proven to diminish premature ageing and hyperpigmentation while strengthening your skin barrier for more resilient, younger-looking skin. 

TIMED RELEASE TECHNOLOGY AT NANO SCALE

The skin is made up of different layers, each with unique properties, our active ingredients have been engineered into tiny particles, making them small enough to squeeze through the skin's outer layer.

The advanced technology facilitates better ingredient penetration and better absorption of active ingredients through the skin barrier, ensuring their optimal delivery to their targeted deeper skin layers where they can really make a difference. This is where the ‘fibroblasts’ cells that produce vital proteins like collagen and elastin, and the powerhouse of cells known as mitochondria reside.

This allows the targeted delivery of actives to fibroblasts and mitochondria, optimising their effects on cellular health and skin rejuvenation. A proprietary blend of powerful vegan tripeptides, polyphenols, antioxidants, amino acids and ceramides that target damaged skin cells and boost collagen production.

Fibroblasts are cells in our skin that produce proteins like collagen, elastin and Hyaluronic Acid. These cells provide structural support and integrity to the skin. By targeting fibroblasts helps us to boost the production of these proteins, leading to firmer, more youthful skin and reduced signs of aging. 

“Think of fibroblasts as the springs inside a mattress, keeping the skin plump and resilient and in optimal condition!” - Faiza

Mitochondria are powerhouses of the cell because they generate most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is used as a source of energy. Every cell in our body contains these tiny structures, including our skin cells. Mitochondria play a role in preventing skin cell damage, for skin cells to function properly, repair damage and renew themselves, they need energy. This energy is supplied by the ATP produced in the mitochondria.

“Mitochondria are like the batteries of our skin cells, providing the energy needed for them to function, repair and renew. Supporting mitochondrial health ensures our skin cells are energised and protected, leading to healthier and younger-looking skin”. - Faiza

Ingredients: Tranexamic Acid, L-glutathione, Alpha Bisabolol, GABA, Kojic Acid, Niacinamide, Glabridin and more…

"As Head of Innovation at Younger Inc. I worked with one of the most advanced laboratories in Europe, clinically testing under dermatological approval on all types of melanin-rich skin tones. It was a pivotal step in recognising and tackling challenges in serving the diverse needs of skin of colour, by also ensuring clinical testing was performed on perimenopausal, menopausal and adropausal skin experienced by both men and women".

- Faiza 

While ageing is inevitable, premature ageing of the skin is a concern many of us face and understanding its root causes and mechanisms allows us to make informed choices to age gracefully. The factors influencing premature ageing are multifaceted, weaving together our environment, lifestyle and intrinsic biological changes. By prioritising skin protection, adopting a healthy lifestyle and leveraging advancements in skincare, we can slow down many of the external signs of ageing. Everyone experiences pigmentation at one time or another, Younger Inc. advanced medical-grade skincare is designed to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and begin you on the journey to a more even skin tone.
