Hi-TECH Beauty Labs uses patented 'B3 Technology®' in 'SkinKick®,' a botanical skin-care approach for people with problem skin that avoids benzoyl peroxide and retinol. The 100% natural formula targets acne-prone, sensitive skin and offers a non-acid option with skin-barrier support.
U.S. Patent No. 12,642,834 B2 covers a blend that includes black willow bark and dragon's blood. It was issued on June 2, 2026. HTBL will present the commercialization plan and a $5 million seed round at the Global Capital Network Investor Conference on October 15 in Newport Beach, California.
A $5 million raise and a licensing plan give beauty companies a faster way to enter natural problem-skin care. Avoiding benzoyl peroxide and retinol broadens the appeal to buyers seeking acne and aging care without harsh, acid-led routines.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Botanical Acne Alternatives
- Patented plant-based formulations are reshaping problem-skin care by offering gentler options for consumers avoiding benzoyl peroxide, retinol, and acid-heavy routines.
- Barrier-supportive Beauty
- Skin-care products positioned around barrier health create differentiation in acne treatment by addressing sensitivity, inflammation, and long-term skin resilience.
- Licensable Clean Beauty IP
- Proprietary natural ingredient blends present scalable commercialization pathways for brands seeking faster entry into clinically positioned clean beauty markets.
Sectors Adopting This
- Skin Care
- Natural acne and aging solutions are expanding the category beyond harsh actives, creating room for sensitive-skin products with patented efficacy claims.
- Beauty Technology
- Ingredient patents and formulation platforms are strengthening competitive advantage as beauty brands look for defensible innovation in crowded clean beauty segments.
- Consumer Health
- Non-prescription, botanical problem-skin products blur the line between cosmetics and wellness by appealing to consumers seeking gentler daily treatment options.
