Phototype Intelligence

Some skins redden. Others mark.

Classic dermo-cosmetics were developed for phototypes I to III. On darker skin, the same irritation leaves a brown mark that lasts for months.

Sublime formulates for phototypes I to VI, with actives chosen and dosed to keep irritation low.

The idea comes from dermatology itself. In 2002, Dr Susan Taylor proposed classifying skin by its tendency to mark after inflammation, not by its colour alone. Phototype Intelligence turns that proposal into formulation rules.

FAQ

Practical details.

Which languages are on the packaging?

Packaging languages are adapted to the regulatory requirements of each market.

Can Sublime be sold in the European Union?

In the EU, the importer acts as the Responsible Person and notifies each product on the CPNP portal. We supply the formula and safety information the Responsible Person needs.

What is the shelf life?

Every product has a shelf life of three years or more. Packs carry the period-after-opening (PAO) symbol.

Is exclusivity possible?

Yes, it can be studied for each market as part of the negotiation.

What do you provide to distributors?

The documentation needed to register and sell the products, and all our available marketing tools, from product visuals to the Sublime Doctors videos.

Can I start with only a few ranges?

Yes. Many partners start with Nutrilogy 5 and Contrasol, then add targeted ranges once pharmacists know the brand.

I want my own brand, not Sublime. Can you help?

Yes. Carmel Cosmetics Labs, our parent company, develops and manufactures white-label and private-label skincare. Discover Carmel Cosmetics Labs.

A note from the founder

Where I come from, most people have skin that marks. A small pimple leaves a spot for months. A treatment that suits lighter skin can leave darker skin uneven. Yet our pharmacy shelves were full of formulas developed for other skin.

That is why we built Sublime: every active chosen and dosed for phototypes I to VI, every product made in our own plant. Morocco came first, then Saudi Arabia.

Now I am looking for partners who know their market better than we ever will. If that is you, write to me.
