Skin Trust Club iOS App goes live after successful completion of 2,000 Alpha skin tests

DeepVerge (LSE:DVRG.L), the environmental and life science AI company, announces the Skin Trust Club, iOS Apple app is now available in the App Store for download in UK and Ireland. The world's first personalised beauty experience that analyses each user's unique skin microbiome to offer a detailed skin routine in a way that has not been possible before.

The Skin Trust Club (www.skintrustclub.com) offers customised skincare routine derived from a home test kit, lab tested and linked to the subscriber's local environment via a smartphone App that identifies ingredients suited to the subscriber's unique skin microbiome and provides updates in real-time. A new revolutionary approach to individual skin maintenance through personalised skincare routine.

Home Test Kit comprises a single swab that maps the skin microbiome delivering a report that produces the most appropriate daily skincare routine based on science, not guesswork. Using real-time air pollution and weather data from the customer's location, the Skin Trust App builds a complete picture of the skin microbiome and the impact of local surroundings.

Skin Trust Analysis includes:

· Microbiome identification and quantification of living organisms (bacteria, viruses, bacteriophages, fungi, parasites, etc.) on the skin;

· Skin gene expression analysis to quantify the biological activity of living organisms on the skin;

· Analysis of metabolites in the skin sample;

· Personal genetic analysis - analyse genomic data to understand potential skin concerns and future risks but does not analyse genes to identify inherited diseases.

Gerard Brandon, CEO of DeepVerge, commented:

"The App Store opens our Skin Trust Club to everyone with an interest in providing greater care and protection for their skin. Being able to identify which products are truly suited to just your skin will empower an informed choice of skincare routine, based on your own microbiome and the environmental impacts of the area in which you live. Powered by Labskin, at the York UK, Laboratories and based on the 95% conversion rate of pre-registration participants in the Skin Trust Club, the app provides broad access and is a major milestone to roll-out of the club, launching just as the additional space has become available to accommodate the immediate demand for home test kits upon request.
