Note from the founder

“I created Auburn Rowe because people deserve skincare that feels elevated without feeling out of reach - Formulas rooted in science, made for every skin profile, and priced with integrity.”

Different formulas for different skin tones

Dermatologist Thomas Fitzpatrick identified that skin tones don't just look different, they behave differently. They age differently, react differently, repair differently. He identified six types. Most brands ignore half of them. We don't.

Frequently Asked Questions

WHICH SKIN TYPES ARE AUBURN ROWE PRODUCTS SUITABLE FOR?

Our formulations are designed for all skin types (Fitzpatrick Types I–VI), with specialized approaches for three key profiles: Sensitive, Balanced, and Melanin‑Rich skin. Each serum and cream is crafted to maximize efficacy, hydration, and barrier support, ensuring safety and visible results tailored to your skin’s unique needs.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SENSITIVE, BALANCED, AND MELANIN RICH FORMULAS?

All BioVital Serums deliver deep hydration, antioxidant protection, and barrier support through a sophisticated complex of glyceryl glucoside, snow mushroom extract, glycosaminoglycans, and hyaluronic acid.

  • Sensitive Skin (Fitzpatrick I–II): Gentle actives reduce irritation, calm inflammation, and strengthen the barrier. Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid penetrates deeply, while zinc PCA and botanical antioxidants support microbiome balance and soothe redness.
  • Balanced Skin (Fitzpatrick III–IV): Brightens, evens tone, and hydrates. Stabilized Vitamin C, peptides, aloe, arrowroot, and Provitamin B5 promote moisture retention, collagen support, and barrier health.
  • Melanin‑Rich Skin (Fitzpatrick V–VI): Targets hyperpigmentation without irritation. Phloretin, Vitamin C, and licorice root extract brighten, improve texture, and maintain even, radiant skin while supporting long-term resilience.
WHAT IF I HAVE MELANIN-RICH SKIN BUT ALSO HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN?

Our Melanin-Rich formulations consider the nuanced needs of deeper skin tones, including sensitivity, to ensure comfort and efficacy in every application.
WHY ARE AUBURN ROWE SERUMS TAILORED BY FITZPATRICK SKIN TYPE?

Clinical research supports high-active formulations designed according to Fitzpatrick skin type. Sensitive skin benefits from reduced irritation and enhanced barrier repair, balanced skin from optimized hydration and smoothness, and melanin-rich skin from pigmentation control and overall radiance. Each formula is tested for safety and efficacy, providing targeted results without compromising skin health.
WHY DOES MELANIN-RICH SKIN NEED A DIFFERENT APPROACH IN SKINCARE?

Melanin-rich skin has a unique biology. It contains a higher ratio of eumelanin, larger and more mature melanosomes, and more melanin distributed throughout the upper epidermis. This gives beautiful inherent UV protection -  but also makes the skin more reactive to inflammation, and more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), uneven tone, and discoloration after even minor irritation.
