About Skin Friend
At Skin Friend, we create clean beauty products in Australia with no fillers, fragrance or steroids—just gentle and effective ingredients to support your health and wellbeing.
Behind every Skin Friend product is Karen Fischer—mum of two, qualified nutritionist, and skin health expert with over 20 years’ experience supporting those with skin disorders. A trusted authority in the field, her eczema research (systematic review and meta-analysis) was published in the leading Q1 journal Nutrients in 2025—so you can feel confident you're in expert hands.
Karen Fischer’s journey into skin health began over two decades ago when her daughter developed eczema—an experience that turned her world upside down. After countless treatments and remedies failed to provide lasting relief, she became determined to find a better way.
Struggling with her own dry, rash-prone skin, Karen began formulating topical products out of necessity, and 24-Hour Rescue was born. Drawing on her background in nutritional biochemistry, she also developed a food-based approach and targeted supplements to support the skin and gut from within.
What began as a personal mission soon became Skin Friend—a holistic approach to skin health that has helped not only her family, but thousands of others seeking beautiful, clear skin and gut health.
Why Skin friend
What Makes Us Different
It’s What We Leave Out
We take ingredient selection seriously. Skin Friend is the first brand to offer supplements free from genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, animal products, salicylates, preservatives, fillers and biogenic amines such as histamine. Our skincare products follow the same philosophy—no hidden nasties, just effective, skin-loving ingredients.
Patented Supplements & Innovation Grants
Innovation is at the heart of what we do. Our AM Activated Multi and PM Mineral Matrix supplements hold long-standing patents, proving their effectiveness and uniqueness. We’ve also been awarded government innovation grants for our skincare products—because we love thinking outside the beauty box.
Prevention-Focused Skin Health
Most skincare brands focus on short-term symptom relief and chasing trends. At Skin Friend, we go further by finding ingredients that work to strengthen the skin barrier and biome for long-term results. Our goal is to help you rely less on topical treatments over time, because true skin health starts from within.
