NAYA NEUROSKIN SCIENCE

Calm skin is resilient skin.

Stress doesn’t just affect how you feel — it shows on your skin. Our NeuroSkin approach is designed to soothe reactivity, strengthen the barrier, and support long-term skin wellbeing.

Origin The language 1–2–3 Neuromediators

Skin and nervous system: deeply connected

Your skin and nervous system develop from the same origin. That’s why stress can show up so quickly as redness, tightness, sensitivity or imbalance. When the skin is under pressure, recovery slows and the barrier becomes vulnerable.

Our approach starts here: by supporting the skin–mind connection, we help skin return to a state of calm, strength, and resilience.

How stress speaks to your skin

Skin responds to internal and external stress through biochemical messengers that influence comfort, inflammation, and barrier function. When these signals are disrupted, skin becomes more reactive, slower to recover, and less able to protect itself.

By working with these pathways, we don’t just treat surface symptoms — we support how skin functions at a deeper level.

Skincare takes on a new dimension through our EMOTIONS.

By supporting stress pathways, we help skin restore comfort, function, and resilience.

Neuromediators and skin

We focus on key neuromediators involved in stress, comfort, recovery and skin reactivity.

β-endorphin , emblematic of positive emotions

On the skin, β-endorphin is linked to comfort, resilience, and recovery. When this pathway is supported, skin tends to feel calmer, more balanced, and better able to repair itself — especially after stress or irritation.

GABA , the relaxation agent

GABA is associated with the skin’s relaxation response. Supporting this pathway helps reduce the look of tension and reactivity, making skin appear more settled, less tight, and more comfortable throughout the day.

Cortisol , emblematic of negative emotions

Cortisol is a key stress signal. When elevated in the skin, it can disrupt the barrier, increase sensitivity, and slow recovery. Our formulations aim to help counter visible stress responses so skin remains more even, resilient, and less reactive over time.

cgrp , the pain communicator

CGRP is involved in neuro-inflammation and sensitivity. When this signal is overstimulated, skin can feel uncomfortable, flushed, or easily triggered. Supporting this pathway helps reduce the appearance of stress-related redness and promotes a calmer skin state.

These concepts describe skin-signalling pathways. Individual results vary.

Evidence you can trust

We look for alignment across mechanism, visible results, and real-life tolerance.

OUR SKIN SCIENCE

SKIN SIGNALS, NOT HYPE

We start with what skin actually responds to: stress-reactivity, inflammation, comfort, and barrier regulation. That means choosing actives for biological relevance — and for how skin feels and behaves over time, not just how it looks today.

TESTS ON THE SKIN

COMFORT + TOLERANCE-LED RESULTS

We combine instrumental measures with user trials to track what matters: hydration, visible redness, comfort, and how well skin tolerates daily use — including layering and reapplication.

REAL-WORLD TOLERANCE

BUILT FOR SENSITIVE, STRESSED SKIN

Our formulas are developed for reactive days — not “perfect skin” days. We test for cumulative tolerance and long-term comfort, so your routine stays steady even when skin is more easily triggered.
