COMPOSITION AND INGREDIENTS
No, IN’OYA products are not skin-lightening products. They are formulated without hydroquinone, corticosteroids, or any other toxic substances harmful to the skin.
IN’OYA products are manufactured according to the strictest European standards, adhering to the rigorous requirements of the French Agency for the Safety of Health Products (AFSSAPS).
So, don’t hesitate any longer!
No, IN’OYA products do not contain parabens. All our laboratory formulations are developed with the utmost respect for current regulations and take into account the sensitivity of pigmented skin.
Yes, IN’OYA products are formulated with natural ingredients and/or ECOCERT-certified components. All our products ensure the highest quality and provide the utmost guarantee in terms of ecology and naturalness.
Laboratoire IN’OYA is committed to researching and formulating products using active ingredients derived from trees planted as part of the sustainable development project “The Great Green Wall of Africa.” Through this commitment, Laboratoire IN’OYA produces natural products made with ingredients of African origin.
All IN’OYA products are non-comedogenic, meaning they do not promote the appearance of comedones, such as blackheads. Laboratoire IN’OYA is committed to formulating effective products without harmful effects, in compliance with current cosmetic product regulations.
No, IN’OYA products do not contain UV filters, as the formulation of a sunscreen differs from that of regular skincare products. While a sunscreen is designed to stay on the skin's surface, IN’OYA skincare products are formulated to penetrate the skin and effectively perform their intended function.
To complement all beauty routines, we have developed the SUN'OYA® SPF50 Fluid Sunscreen: ideal for enhancing anti-dark spot or anti-blemish treatments, it remains an essential product for maintaining a clear and even complexion all year round!

USAGE TIPS
An IN’OYA product can be stored for up to 30 months between the purchase date and first use. Most of our formulas have proven stability for over 30 months, ensuring their effectiveness and, most importantly, the absence of side effects.
IN’OYA products undergo rigorous testing to assess their maximum shelf life under conditions similar to typical consumer habits (such as humid bathroom environments or ambient heat). Once the packaging is opened, a recommended usage period of up to 6 months is advised.
The usage period after opening for each product is indicated on the packaging with a pictogram featuring an open jar icon, along with a number followed by the letter "M." The number and "M" indicate the recommended duration in months for using the product after opening.
Used only at night, applied locally to your dark spots, the MEL’OYA® "Anti-Dark Spot" Serum lasts approximately 8 weeks.
Its effectiveness begins to show after 28 days, allowing you to achieve a more even complexion and radiant skin in just one month, depending on your specific concerns.
Find it here: MEL’OYA® "Anti-Dark Spot" Serum.
When used as daytime care every morning, IN’OYA Unifying Treatments last between 6 to 8 weeks.
In combination with the MEL’OYA® "Anti-Dark Spot" Serum, their effectiveness is noticeable instantly. Regardless of your skin type:
- For dry to very dry skin, enjoy long-lasting hydration and a harmonized complexion.
- For combination to oily skin, experience a mattified and even tone.
Find them here: My Unifying Treatments.
My "Anti-Dark Spot" Serum can be used for localized hyperpigmentation spots on both the face and any part of the body. However, for the Unifying Treatments, it is recommended to follow the specific usage instructions, as the active ingredients are designed based on studies tailored to different skin types.
While applying face products to the body is not inherently harmful, using body products on the face may cause reactions, as facial skin is more delicate and has more specific needs.
For a uniform complexion on the body, it is best to use the MEL’OYA® Lite Hydrating Unifying Body Lotion.

My MEL’OYA® "Anti-Dark Spot" Serum can be applied to the entire face. However, a localized application on dark spots on the face or body is sufficient to effectively treat the spots until they fade or disappear.

The choice of your IN’OYA Care product depends on your facial skin type:
For combination to oily skin: These skin types tend to shine and are more prone to imperfections (pimples, blackheads, etc.). IN’OYA recommends "Unifying Mattifying Care", which regulates sebum production while evening out your complexion.
For dry to very dry skin: These skin types should opt for "Unifying Hydrating Care", which helps restore the hydrolipidic film and soothes irritated, dry skin while also unifying the complexion.

At the heart of Black Beauty, IN’OYA Laboratory has developed its entire range of products to seamlessly integrate into women's beauty rituals.

TESTING AND GUARANTEE
No, we do not conduct animal testing, and we fully comply with European cosmetic regulations that prohibit such practices.
Our products are tested on cell cultures (reconstructed living tissues) to achieve results that are as close to reality as possible. These cellular tests are further complemented by clinical tests on healthy volunteers to ensure both safety and effectiveness.
In our commitment to continuously improving the quality of our products, IN’OYA regularly conducts clinical efficacy tests on healthy volunteers. To participate in one of our many clinical studies, please contact us.
To ensure the safety of our products, we first carry out physico-chemical checks to verify the quality of the ingredients used in our formulas. Next, we select effective, innovative, and—above all—safe active ingredients by conducting in vivo and ex vivo tests. Finally, our finished products undergo dermatological testing to guarantee their complete safety.

Our anti-spot serum can be used to target hyperpigmentation spots on the face as well as any other part of the body. However, when it comes to unifying skincare, it is recommended to follow the specific usage guidelines. This is because the active ingredients are carefully formulated based on specialized research tailored to the unique characteristics of different skin types.
While applying facial products to the body is generally not harmful, the reverse can sometimes lead to adverse reactions. This is because facial skin is more delicate and has more specialized needs compared to body skin.
To achieve a smooth and even skin tone on the body, we recommend using the MEL’OYA® Lite Unifying Moisturizing Body Lotion, which is specifically designed for optimal hydration and a radiant, unified complexion.
