The Voyager Lab
The place where we push the boundaries of science to create new formulations for you.

Science matters
We gather the best technologies, explorers, and ingredients. We then use science to put them together.
The cornerstone of science is the pursuit of truth. We pursue the truth of optimal skin health and longevity with integrity and passion.
We seek to find ways to help you support, repair, and protect the ultimate barrier between you and the world: your skin. When you use Voyager, you get clinically demonstrated actives that are synergistically paired with complementary ingredients, formulas that are safe for you and the environment, and performance that enables adventures in any setting or environment.

You matter
Become a skin scientist and understand the research behind ingredients.
Science and engineering are the propellant of the in-house Voyager formulary. We share current state-of-the-art evidence grading of our ingredients using the Voyager Evidence Quality model.
Our team of scientists consults the scientific literature to evaluate the quality of evidence for any given ingredient and/or claim and then assigns a rating based on the current science.

Ingredients Matter
We don't believe in the phrase "clean beauty." It's a marketing term that many brands use to propagate fear around vilinized materials. Instead, we operate from a stance of consistent questioning of the efficacy and safety of every single ingredient we use.
Our scientists have extensively evaluated scientific literature and industry publications to create a collection of ingredients that we don't use in our products.
