Skinmender

Skinmender is a Swedish skincare brand built around a single product: a two-phase gel for skin that feels irritated, red, itchy or very dry. The company presents it as "a modern Swedish innovation" and as something deliberately different from conventional creams and salves [1]. It is the skincare sibling of the foot-care brand Footmender, and both come from the Swedish company Footmender AB, based in Stockholm [6].

The brand is active. Its gel is on sale through Sweden's major pharmacy chains, and the brand describes the product as new ("ny"), a framing echoed by retailers.

⚑ Thinner sourcing. The article relies largely on the brand's own statements (T2–T3). Glowpedia is seeking independent sources.

Skinmender's own website does not name the company behind it, state a founding year, or identify a founder. The maker, Footmender AB, is established instead through the sibling brand's site, retailer listings and Swedish company registries, which place the company at Sveavägen 33 in Stockholm [6][9]. Footmender AB was incorporated on 13 November 2020 [9]; however, this is the registration date of the maker company rather than a launch date for the Skinmender brand, which is repeatedly described as new and appears to have arrived later. No source states the year the Skinmender brand itself launched, so its founding year is best treated as unknown.

The company's other product, Footmender, is a patented foot-care cream for dry skin, calluses and cracked heels; Skinmender extends the same maker into face and body skincare.

Skinmender's core product is a 50 ml two-phase gel, sold under the tagline "Ny innovativ 2-fasgel vid irriterad hud" (new innovative two-phase gel for irritated skin) [1]. The company says the two-phase technology allows high concentrations of both water- and oil-soluble ingredients in one formula, giving both an immediate and a longer-lasting effect [8]. The formula is described as patented, or patent pending, and the packaging — an airtight pump dispenser — is also presented as patented, allowing precise dosing without preservatives [2].

The gel's ingredients include several ceramides, niacinamide, urea, panthenol, sodium hyaluronate and vitamin E, alongside plant oils such as sunflower, jojoba and baobab seed oil. According to the brand, the product contains no fragrance and no preservatives, and is of "100% natural origin" [3]. It is marketed as suitable for the whole body, including the face, and as toxicologically evaluated and safe to use from birth.

Skinmender also publishes several efficacy figures from its own testing: that all users experienced an improvement in the skin within 24 hours, that 90 percent felt relief from dry skin within 15 minutes, and that 80 percent felt relief from itchy skin in the same time [2]. Retailer copy cites a consumer study of 111 testers who reported a better effect than products they had used before [8]. These are the company's stated claims and have not been independently verified here.

The gel is sold through Swedish pharmacies, including Apoteket, Kronans Apotek, Apotek Hjärtat and Dozapotek, in store and online [5][7]. Distribution has been observed only in Sweden.

Skinmender is active. As of 2026, the product is stocked by Sweden's major pharmacy chains and the brand's website is live and styled as a recent launch [7]. Its reach is single-country, confined to Sweden.
