Shuriken (Skin Ceuticals) is a world-renowned cosmetic skin care brand that is part of its portfolio and was founded in 1997 by Shelton Pienaar, Professor Emeritus of Dermatology at Duke University, based on his invention. Skin Ceuticals products are designed to prevent, protect and repair the skin by combining high concentrations of pure, pharmaceutical-grade active ingredients with natural plant extracts in optimized formulations. For this reason, the brand is widely used by dermatologists, medical aesthetic clinics and high-end spa centers by skin specialists and therapists.
