Our story

Skincare built by a pharmacist with a gluten allergy

EpiLynx by Dr. Liia was created after Dr. Liia and Dr. Sumant struggled with allergies, gluten sensitivities, eczema, and psoriasis and could not find products gentle enough for their skin. Drawing on backgrounds in medicine, pharmacy, and analytical chemistry, they developed medically clean skincare and makeup designed for people with sensitive, allergy-prone skin. EpiLynx focuses on carefully chosen ingredients and formulas made without many common allergens.

EpiLynx FAQ

Straight answers to what our community asks most.

Why should I use gluten-free skincare?

Many people are gluten-sensitive or have gluten allergies they may be unaware of. This is especially true for people with celiac disease, Hashimoto’s disease, eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis. However, anyone can benefit from gluten-free skincare, because these products are rich with antioxidants and ingredients with anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce redness for any skin type.

How do you test your products for gluten and allergens such as nuts?

Our products are made in a gluten-free and allergen-free laboratory rather than a factory that may manufacture other products with gluten. We specifically choose ingredients that do not contain gluten, gluten by-products, nut products, and more so we can stand behind formulations that are gluten-free, hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, and scientifically designed.

What is the shelf life?

The shelf life of our products is 12 months.

Where are your products made? Are they made in the USA?

All of our skincare products are made in Los Angeles, CA. Our skincare is developed and manufactured by Dr. Liia and a team of doctors and pharmacists. Our makeup is developed and designed in Los Angeles, USA and manufactured in PRC.
