Our Story
Science In Beauty
Researched and formulated in Singapore with one purpose in mind, to deliver effective formulas with clinically proven ingredients that truly deliver on their promises.
From formulation to packaging, we aim to reduce our carbon footprint at every step. Ingredients are carefully selected and responsibly sourced, without compromising on safety, quality or performance.
Our Founder
Karen Lam
Building on Estetica Group’s four decades of experience in skincare, Karen Lam brings a modern perspective shaped by her own journey and leadership.
Through a life-changing accident and years of recovery, Karen’s perspective on beauty shifted. She came to believe that confidence is not about perfect skin, but helping people feel comfortable and empowered in the skin they are in.
I hope to inspire more people to build up their self-confidence through skin confidence, and more importantly, to know that there’s beauty to be found even in life’s imperfections, scars and all.
SkAI™
How We Decide What Goes Into Every Formula
Developed in collaboration with A*STAR, Singapore’s leading R&D agency, the SkAI™ Matrix guides how we evaluate and select every ingredient we use.
Each ingredient is assessed for safety, efficacy, compatibility and real-world performance before it becomes part of an ést.lab formula.
Using data-led insights, we identify the most relevant ingredients, develop them into formulations and validate their results through clinical testing before they are approved for use.
As Seen In
Beyond Beautiful Skin
At ést.lab, creating effective skincare also means being mindful of our impact beyond the products we formulate.
From refillable packaging and PCR materials to supporting ocean cleanup efforts through Seven Clean Seas, we are continually working towards more responsible choices that benefit both people and the planet.
Refill & Reuse
Refill options designed to reduce unnecessary packaging waste.
Seven Clean Seas
Supporting ocean cleanup efforts and fair employment opportunities in coastal communities.
Thoughtful Choices
Responsible ingredient and packaging decisions that prioritise safety, quality and long-term impact.
