About SkinCabin
SkinCabin doesn't sell skincare. It sells the confidence to navigate it.
Every product promises a miracle. Every label reads like a puzzle. SkinCabin cuts through the noise with evidence, explained in plain English.
We read the labels for you
Tell the finder what you're looking for. It checks every ingredient, scores each product, and explains why — downsides included.

120+ plain-English articles on ingredients, moisturisers, skin concerns and sun protection. Evidence-based, never hype.
We show our working
Jargon explained, never assumed. If a product has a downside, we say so. How we research and write.
Skincare advice is a mess. One source says one thing, the next says the opposite — and the label can't settle it, because most people can't read it.
Nobody should need a chemistry degree — or a marketing filter — to look after their skin. Good skin isn't a privilege. It's possible. That's why SkinCabin exists.
Evidence first
No miracle claims. We read the research and tell you what it actually supports — with the marketing stripped out.
Independence
No sponsored content. Brands cannot pay to be featured, reviewed favourably, or ranked higher. Ever.
Transparency
Affiliate links are disclosed, and commissions never touch rankings. Here's exactly how we make money.
SkinCabin is written by Sandy Naidu.
I'm not a dermatologist or a cosmetic chemist, and this site never pretends otherwise. What I have is a science education — biology and chemistry, no specialisation — and about twenty years of reading skincare research because I found it interesting.
That started in my early twenties. I wasn't building towards anything. I read papers on formulation the way other people read about football, and I got steadily better at telling a real finding from a marketing claim.
It never occurred to me to share any of it.
I build websites, design online learning and work in marketing — three jobs that are all really the same job: making difficult things clear. At some point I realised I could put that together with the reading.
That's what SkinCabin is. It started as a YouTube channel and became this — a library of plain-English answers, and a product finder that reads the ingredients so you don't have to.
What that means for you. I read the research and tell you what it actually supports, including when the answer is "we don't really know". Where a question needs medical judgement, this site says so and points you to someone qualified. I don't diagnose, and I won't pretend a cream fixes something it can't.
Built by someone tired of marketing, for people tired of marketing.
