Our Story
Founded by a surgeon. Chosen by clinics worldwide. For over 25 years.
Glo Skin Beauty was built on a conviction: that beautiful skin is healthy skin, and healthy skin comes from formulations that are both genuinely safe and genuinely effective. That conviction has guided every product decision since the beginning.
The origin
Founded in 2000 by a leading plastic surgeon who had spent years watching patients achieve transformative skin results from clinical-grade chemical peels, Glo launched with two distinct professional lines: Glo Therapeutics, covering medical and spa-grade exfoliants and clinical back bar treatments, and Glo Minerals, one of the first complete professional mineral makeup lines to market. The founding conviction — that the same standard of formulation that delivered in-clinic results could, and should, be available for at-home use — shaped both.
In 2017, those lines came together under a single brand: Glo Skin Beauty. Over 25 years of formulation expertise, distributed exclusively through accredited clinics, medspas, and aesthetic practices — by design, not by accident.
Our formulation philosophy
We use the word ‘clean’ carefully. It means every Glo formula is free from parabens, talc, artificial fragrance, irritating sulfates, phthalates, harsh colorants, polyethylene beads, and mineral oil. It does not mean our formulas are passive.
Our actives are selected for clinical evidence, not marketing appeal. We include ingredients that are proven to produce change in the skin — because that is what our professional partners, and their patients, expect from us.
The science
EGF: the ingredient at the centre of what we make
Epidermal Growth Factor is a naturally occurring signalling protein that tells skin cells to repair, renew, and regenerate. It is the most clinically-evidenced anti-ageing ingredient in professional skincare literature — and it sits at the centre of Glo’s current product strategy.
Our EGF Drops Serum delivers bioidentical EGF alongside a precision-selected complex of peptides, niacinamide, and barrier-supporting actives. The result is measurable improvement in skin firmness, texture, and tone — the kind of change patients notice and come back for.
This is what we mean by performance luxury: serious ingredients, formulated seriously, for patients who want real results.
EGF used in Glo Skin Beauty products is synthetic bioidentical — not animal-derived.
Professional heritage
Glo Skin Beauty has been chosen by skincare professionals worldwide for over 25 years. Our professional range spans back bar treatments for in-clinic use, active skincare for patient home protocols, and smart, skin-first makeup — all formulated to integrate with the treatment programmes that clinics build for their patients.
We don’t sell on Amazon. We don’t sell in supermarkets or to general retailers. We distribute through accredited professionals because we believe the best skincare results happen in partnership with the people who understand skin.
UK & Ireland
In the UK and Ireland, Glo Skin Beauty is distributed exclusively by Glo Skin Beauty UK & Ireland Ltd. Our professional network — the Glo Pro programme — connects the brand with accredited aesthetics clinics, medspas, and professional beauty salons who carry and recommend Glo to their clients.
