Science-Based Classification for Personalized Care

The Fitzpatrick Scale (I–VI) is a globally recognized framework for classifying skin phototypes based on their response to sun exposure — burning, tanning, and overall sensitivity. In dermatology and advanced skincare science, it serves as a critical guide for precision formulation, allowing products to be tailored to each skin type’s unique physiology. This ensures every AUBURN ROWE formula delivers targeted care, addressing the distinct needs of your skin with clinical sophistication. Even individuals within the same Fitzpatrick type can vary genetically or phenotypically. Precision formulations enhance safety, effectiveness, and visible radiance for every tone.

Skin Profile Fitzpatrick scale Details
Fair/Sensitive Skin I, II Higher vulnerability to UV light and environmental stresses (burns easily)
Balanced Skin III, IV Reacts to UV light (sometimes burns, sometimes tans)
Melanin-Rich Skin V, VI Provides natural protection against UV light (tans easily)

Our Formulations

At the heart of our formulations are a bio-adaptive hydration network that maintains optimal moisture, enhances skin density, and supports the skin’s natural barrier, and a peptide system engineered to adapt to each skin’s unique needs. Our BioVital (day) and Epigenetic (night) serums are carefully formulated for sensitive, balanced, and melanin-rich skin profiles. Using the Fitzpatrick Scale as a validated foundation, we refine personalization with modern skin-behavior assessments, combining these core technologies with tailored actives. The result is a continuous, adaptive ritual that boosts hydration, fortifies the skin barrier, and enhances skin vitality with adaptive precision.

  • A bio-adaptive hydration network that helps maintain optimal moisture, visibly enhances skin density, and supports the skin’s natural barrier. 
  • A bioengineered peptide system designed to adapt to the skin’s unique needs.
Your Skin Profile

Tailored Skincare for Every Profile

Each skin type has distinct strengths, vulnerabilities, and priorities. AUBURN ROWE's formulations are engineered to optimize these differences for maximum impact and minimal irritation.

Both Sensitive and Melanin-Rich formulas are designed to minimize irritation, but target different concerns: redness and UV sensitivity vs hyperpigmentation. Balanced formulas are optimal for less reactive skin types.

Thinner barriers increase vulnerability to irritation, redness, transepidermal water loss. AUBURN ROWE's Sensitive formulations minimize reactivity while fortifying long-term resilience.

  • Barrier-strengthening lipids: ceramides, omega fatty acids
  • Anti-inflammatory and soothing botanicals
  • Lower-concentration actives + encapsulation technology to reduce irritation
  • UV-protective ingredients like lycopene-rich tomato extract
  • Nighttime support: biomimetic, bio-identical, and microbiome-friendly actives

Normal barrier function and moderate pigmentary response allow for more concentrated actives. Formulations optimize hydration, repair, and cellular turnover for long-term resilience.

  • Gentle alpha hydroxy acids, vitamin C, and retinoids to support even tone and firmness
  • Circadian-aligned delivery for daytime protection and nighttime repair
  • Epigenetic and biomimetic molecules for daily resilience and nocturnal regeneration
  • Barrier-supporting peptides to maintain hydration and structural integrity

Higher melanin content offers natural photoprotection but increases risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. AUBURN ROWE addresses this with targeted pigment-regulating and barrier-supporting ingredients

  • Brightening actives: niacinamide, licorice root extract
  • Anti-inflammatory peptides
  • Circadian-aligned hydration and repair
  • Gentle actives to prevent irritation while supporting long-term tone and barrier health
WHY IT MATTERS

By aligning formulations with Fitzpatrick type, genetic predispositions, and individual skin physiology, AUBURN ROWE delivers science-backed, personalized skincare that maximizes safety, efficacy, and visible results across all tones.

DAY AND NIGHT

Your Chronobiology

Chronobiology-Informed formulations are designed to synchronize with natural rhythms, delivering active ingredients when the skin is most receptive. 

All skin operates on a biological clock, with distinct cycles of activity. AUBURN ROWE leverages these natural cycles to ensure actives reach their target when skin is most receptive.

AUBURN ROWE formulations are engineered to synchronize with these natural rhythms, ensuring actives are delivered when skin is most receptive. Antioxidants and barrier-supporting peptides optimize daytime defense, while encapsulated retinoids, biomimetic molecules, and regenerative peptides are maximally effective during nocturnal repair. This chronobiology-informed approach transforms daily skincare into a science-backed, high-performance ritual, enhancing efficacy and minimizing irritation.

Exposed to environmental elements and stressors, skin goes into self-preservation mode against:

  • Antioxidants, peptides, and barrier-supporting lipids neutralize oxidative stress
  • Hydration and brightness support while maintaining even tone
  • Protection against UV radiation, pollution, and environmental oxidants
  • Skin emphasizes protection against UV radiation, pollution, and oxidative stress.

When skin reaches its peak for repair, renewal, and metabolic activity. Key processes include:

  • Cellular metabolism and energy production – fuels repair, restores elasticity, and targets inflammation.
  • Mitochondrial activity – supports tissue regeneration and wound healing.
  • Collagen synthesis – smooths texture, strengthens structure, and minimizes fine lines.
  • Microcirculation – enhances nutrient delivery for optimal cellular function.
BIO-IDENTICAL ACTIVES

Molecular Precision for Skin Harmony

Bio-identical actives replicate molecules naturally found in the skin, reducing stress and irritation while enhancing molecular balance. By supporting the skin's natural moisturizing factor and endogenous repair mechanisms, these actives amplify barrier restoration and nocturnal regeneration.

When combined with peptides and epigenetic modulators, bio-identical actives optimize cellular renewal, anti-aging benefits, and skin resilience, even for sensitive or reactive skin types. This molecular precision ensures that skin is comforted, strengthened, and visibly revitalized, aligning with AUBURN ROWE's philosophy of luxury science and clinical-grade efficacy.

MICROBIOME SUPPORTIVE SKINCARE

Balancing Skin Ecology

A healthy skin microbiome is foundational to barrier integrity, inflammation control, and overall skin resilience. Auburn Rowe formulations include microbiome-supportive ingredients that:

  • Maintain microbial equilibrium, preventing irritation, breakouts and barrier dysfunction.
  • Support circadian-aligned repair, enhancing daytime protection and nighttime regeneration.
  • Deliver benefits across all Fitzpatrick types and skin profiles, ensuring skin is functionally optimized and aesthetically radiant.

By fostering a balanced skin ecology, AUBURN ROWE promotes long-term skin health, visible radiance, and resilience, completing a fully integrated, research-driven approach to advanced skincare.
