Grincelllabs sells under three names, and the actives are worth the confusion

Before anything else, the practical problem: these three products arrive under three different names. The company is Grincelllabs. The two serums are KODE BY LAB. The cream is Melazero. The website is a fourth thing again.

Sort that out before you list anything, because it decides what goes on the shelf talker, what the customer searches for, and which name accumulates the reviews. Our read is that KODE BY LAB is the brand and Grincelllabs is the lab behind it — that is how the naming is explained on the brand's own materials, where K is glossed as key, knowledge and Korean context, and the company name unpacks as Grin + cell + labs. Confirm it with us before you commit to packaging.

Now the part that makes the confusion worth tolerating.

Three actives that rarely appear together

The Calming Barrier Serum runs ectoin at 10,000ppm alongside sodium DNA at 8,000ppm — and the PDRN here is the interesting half. The brand names it BiomePDRN, derived from banana.

PDRN is normally salmon DNA. That is not a problem for most markets and it is a real problem for some: a vegan floor cannot list it, a halal-screened assortment needs documentation, and any market with animal-derived-ingredient paperwork adds a step. A plant-derived PDRN sidesteps all three, and demand for the ingredient is not slowing down. Across our catalogue, sodium DNA appears in 42 products; the ones that can say "not from fish" are a much shorter list.

Ectoin is the quieter half and the one dermatology-literate buyers will recognise — an extremophile-derived osmolyte used for barrier and irritation, sitting in 12 of our 535 products.

The Reboot Serum goes somewhere almost nobody in this catalogue has gone: NAD+ at 10,000ppm, with nicotinamide mononucleotide alongside it. NAD+ arrived in skincare from the longevity-supplement world, and whatever you make of the mechanism, the category story is strong and currently uncontested — this is the only product in our catalogue built on it.

The Melazero cream is the conventional one, and the one with the clearest regulatory footing: a Korean dual-function registration for whitening and wrinkle improvement, built on niacinamide, sea buckthorn water and the brand's Alpha-Melight complex, aimed at melasma.

The numbers need a document

The listings quote figures to two decimal places — soothing improved by 603.94%, collagen boosting at 198%, lifting at 16.67%. Percentages like that come from instrumented panel work, and the brand does say a dermatologist visual assessment was completed.

Get the reports before you repeat any of it. A figure with two decimals reads as precision, and precision is exactly what a marketplace compliance team asks you to substantiate. The underlying products do not need the hyperbole; "banana-derived PDRN with 1% ectoin" is already a sentence no competitor on your floor can say.

Compliance

Who this fits

Carry it if your customers read ingredient lists — a clinical-skincare e-commerce, a derma counter, or a market where PDRN already has recognition and you want the version that clears vegan and animal-ingredient objections. Two of these three products are genuinely differentiated, which is two more than most lines manage.

Skip it if you cannot invest in explanation. Ectoin, plant PDRN and NAD+ all need a sentence each, and a shelf that sells on brand recognition will leave them sitting. And do not list anything until the naming is settled — three names across three SKUs is how a brand ends up with its reviews split across two listings and its search traffic going nowhere.
