We’re building the future of beauty.

Our Mission

To build the intelligence layer of the beauty industry. We make skincare smarter, simpler, and more effective.

Our Vision

To end the guesswork in skincare — By making it intelligent, personal, and accessible.

Our Mission

Your Skin is personal. It’s the largest organ — and the first thing people see. It carries your story.

For too long, skincare has been guesswork and hype-driven. Products that fail. Money wasted. Confidence lost.

We built Oyster to end that cycle.

When your skin is understood, you stop guessing. You stop hiding. You stop wasting.

You feel confident. You show up differently. That changes more than your skin. It changes your life.

Our Values.

(This is how we work. This is who we are)

Ownership

Ownership

Act like a founder. Fix what is broken. Build what is missing. And if the answer doesn’t exist, we go find it. Ownership here doesn’t mean control — it means care. We all show up like founders.

Yes to Impact

Yes to Impact

Work on what matters. Kill what doesn't. Even good ideas. Because focus isn’t about saying yes — it’s about saying yes to the right thing. We care about what matters — to the user, to the business, to the mission. politics? pass.

Speed with Purpose

Speed with Purpose

Move fast. Think clearly. Ship smart. Clarity is our fuel. Speed is our edge. We launch small. We learn quickly. We ship again. We believe the best products come from fast cycles and sharp minds — not perfect roadmaps.

Test & Truth

Test & Truth

Be honest, direct, and kind. We critique the work, not the person. We are intellectually honest about feedback and we default to trust — not suspicion, not fear. Because trust is oxygen. And truth is how we breathe.

Empathy for the User

Empathy for the User

Listen, care, design for real people. We don’t build features. We solve real problems. We talk to users. We listen obsessively and walk in their shoes. We care about their constraints. And we design like they’re watching — because they are. If the user wins, we win. Every time.

Relentless Curiosity

Relentless Curiosity

Keep asking why. Learn always. We go deep. We ask why — then why again. We don’t assume the obvious is obvious. We test. We break things. We rewire them better. The right answer lives inside the right question. And we’re here to keep asking.

We hire people who are passionate about work.

We are a lean, global team of engineers, dermatologists, designers, and operators. Different backgrounds, one goal. To make skincare intelligent and trusted.
