Bilico SNV® Technology
Not better ingredients.
Working ingredients.
Dear Lauren applies advanced drug-delivery science (DDS) to skincare.
Even the most powerful active means little if it never reaches the skin where it's needed. Our SNV® nano-capsule platform wraps fragile actives — vulnerable to light, heat and oxygen — in a triple-layer structure and delivers them still active.
Every core Dear Lauren ingredient runs on this one delivery platform.

Three lies your skincare tells you.
Di Mambro et al., Int J Pharm, 2003
Antioxidant Defense
The label says "formulated with Vitamin E."Not all Vitamin E is actually Vitamin E.
Most of it is tocopheryl acetate — a derivative altered for shelf life, which gives up nearly all of its antioxidant power in the process. Dear Lauren uses the pure form and keeps it alive with SNV®.

Visible Renewal
The label says "now with EGF."Containing EGF and working EGF are two different things.
A Nobel Prize–winning discovery — yet heat, light and air deactivate it long before it ever reaches your skin. Dear Lauren protects EGF at ten times the standard activity and delivers it still working.

Barrier Restoration
The label says "ceramide-enriched."Ceramide you layer on washes off.
A cream can only rest ceramide on the surface, where your next cleanse takes it away. Dear Lauren takes the other route — helping skin synthesize the variety it actually needs.
Read Vol. 03 →MAG — Medical Advisory Group
Skincare, held to a medical standard.
"Pure tocopherol is a powerful antioxidant that medicine itself pays attention to — but it is so unstable that making it work in skincare was considered close to impossible. This brand is taking on that challenge."
