About
The Skin Code
A discovery platform for understanding why your skin behaves the way it does — built on the Skin Codes™ framework.
What The Skin Code is
The Skin Code is a quiz-based discovery tool that identifies which of the six skin archetypes most closely matches your self-reported patterns. It was built on the Skin Codes™ framework — an inside-out observational model that proposes recurring skin expression patterns may be associated with recurring internal conditions: stress, recovery, sleep, hormonal rhythm, and energy output.
The quiz is the starting point. The archetype it produces is a pattern description — a way of naming and understanding a recurring tendency, not a diagnosis or clinical finding.
The framework it's built on
The Skin Codes™ framework was developed as an independent observational reference — a way of organising the relationship between internal conditions and skin expression into a consistent structure. Canonical definitions for the six archetypes are maintained at skinarchetype.com.
The Skin Code is the practical application of that framework — the tool built to identify which archetype a person holds, and to make the framework's implications accessible outside an academic or clinical context.
What this tool does not do
Future direction
The Skin Code quiz has shown a high correlation between its archetype results and outcomes from the DUTCH hormone test — a clinically recognised tool for comprehensive hormone panel assessment. This correlation is being explored as a potential pathway for integrating the quiz as a pre-screening or triage tool within clinical and wellness settings.
If you are a clinic, practitioner, or health business interested in how this framework might be relevant to your work, we're interested in those conversations.
