We started 4.5.6 with a mission to offer unique skincare, backed by science and addressing the gap in the global beauty market for non-caucasian skins.
Our bespoke formulas have been specifically designed to meet the needs of melanin skin to stay hydrated, balanced, acne free, radiant, calm and healthy.
After an incubation at the LVMH Research Centre, we established our own lab and production unit in the Cosmetic Valley in France. All our processes of R&D, formulation, production, and filling are performed in our lab.
We understand there is a whole world that gets compressed between the boxes of brown and black and we are here to celebrate those worlds.
