The name is offbeat, but Unt Skincare is dead-on when it comes to offering women high-tech skin care at a reasonable price. Company founder Joanna Chien left a management position at Deloitte seven years ago to launch Unt Skincare (Unt is an abbreviation of untitled). Her goal was to deliver high-technology products backed by physicians at affordable prices, often half of upscale counterparts. For example, Unt’s Prodige plant stem cell serum (formulated with rare apple stem cells) retails for $59.99 for a 1-oz. bottle.
Unt Skincare has 10 physicians on board, ranging from plastic surgeons to dermatologists, who help Unt stay on top of skin care trends including whitening, antiaging and acne remedies. Visitors to the website, www.shopunt.com, can upload a photo of themselves and get these experts’ recommendations on skin remedies. Other items in the lineup feature everything from hyaluronic acids, copper peptides and stem cells. Besides 250 skin care SKUs, Unt offerings include nail and color cosmetics.
