ABOUT
This is The Science of Skincare™
In the era of influence, we’re for science and efficacy over marketing and celebrity. In other words, we’re for results. Because when it comes to sensitive skin, you deserve better than putting yourself through more skincare that doesn’t work. You deserve to feel good in your skin—finally.
WHY TSOS™?
Because skincare should start at the barrier
Irritation. Redness and reactivity. Stinging and burning. Whatever your skin sensitivities, if you’ve tried it all and it all hasn’t worked, it’s not the products—it’s your skin barrier. Better skin starts with a stronger barrier. The science proves it, and the TSOS™ system delivers it.
THE TSOS™ SYSTEM
A barrier-first skincare system
If you’ve tried it all, you deserve better than throwing good money after bad, so we developed TSOS™ with just six barrier-first formulas: Two serums, two treatments, and two moisturizers. Stack all six for a complete AM/PM skincare routine, or layer in only the formulas your skin needs.
OUR INGREDIENTS
Clinically proven ingredients for visible results
We blend biogenic ingredients with clinically proven actives to target everyday skin concerns like dehydration, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and dark circles. And thanks to our proprietary blend, Triome™, barrier repair is the foundation of each: Hydrating, restorative, and safe for sensitive skin.
The ecosystems of our Pacific Northwest survive the very climates and conditions that can disrupt our skin barriers. So, we studied their synergies and replicated their biologies in Triome™.
Our proprietary blend and the foundation of every TSOS™ formula, Triome™ calms inflammation and restores moisture in the skin, supporting barrier repair and sensitive, reactive skin.
SEAWATER ALGAE
Supports barrier function and surface hydration, alleviating tightness and discomfort
FRESHWATER MICROALGA
Anti-inflammatory properties calm reactive skin and support skin barrier repair and resilience
TERRA AMINO ACIDS
Mimic the skin’s natural free amino acids, supporting hydration from within the barrier
“When it comes to the efficacy of skincare, consistency is more important than concentration. We intentionally formulate with lower concentrations of active ingredients, but we use more effective forms of those actives, so you see the results—without the reactivity.”

MEET THE FOUNDER
A Professional Chemist and cosmetic scientist
A Professional Chemist with 15+ years of experience researching and developing formulas for major skincare brands, Connor knows the science of skincare. And hailing from Vancouver, Canada, he knows the toll our True North climate can take on the skin barrier, causing sensitivity and reactivity even five-star products can’t seem to alleviate.
So, in 2020, he founded The Science of Skincare™, affectionately known as TSOS™, a complete skincare system for skin barrier dysfunction and sensitive skin. Formulated with clinically proven ingredients, the TSOS™ system is safe for sensitive skin and effective for everyone. Better skin starts at the barrier. And barrier repair starts with TSOS™.
