Science-Driven Skincare
The Fifth Laboratory
At The Fifth Laboratory, we believe that skincare should be intelligent, transparent, and built on trust. Born from scientific curiosity and driven by a passion for real-world results, our mission is to deliver effective, safe, and skin-respecting solutions backed by rigorous research.
We are not just product developers — we are researchers, listeners, and problem-solvers. Every formula we create begins with science, but it doesn’t end there. We listen closely to our customers, ensuring our innovations meet real needs with clarity and care.
Our hero product, Pureactil, is a reflection of our philosophy: clinically relevant, skin-friendly, and made without compromise. From formulation to packaging, we prioritize quality, safety, and simplicity — so you can feel confident about what you put on your skin.

The founders
The Fifth Laboratory is a family company, and was founded in 2024 by cousins Hanne Grøgaard and Rebecca Goodchild. With complimenting backgrounds from Pharma and brand building, Hanne and Rebecca have honed a love for effective and trustworthy skincare since childhood. And those two values became the driving force behind and base of The Fifth Laboratory.
Our Values
Trustworthy
We prioritize transparency in every aspect — from ingredient sourcing to clinical claims. If we say it works, it’s because we know it does.
Scientific
Our formulations are rooted in evidence-based research. We collaborate with scientists, dermatologists, and labs to ensure accuracy and efficacy at every step.
Customer-First
We design with real people in mind — not trends. Our products are made to support your skin, your lifestyle, and your standards.
