Japan-Made Skin Sampling Tools, Corporate Skin Diagnosis, and Visual Time & Temperature Indicators

Skinchecker is a compact, fully Japan-made sampling kit developed and manufactured by Smartchip Inc. It comprises Corneum Strip Tape — Corneum Checker and Sebum Indicator Film — Sebum Checker.

Corneum Checker collects corneocytes from the skin surface using the tape-stripping method. Disc types support visual evaluation, while the slide type supports staining and direct microscopic observation. Sebum Checker captures skin-surface sebum as a visible pattern on a microporous film.

The collected samples can be observed and compared directly on the respective sampling media without specialized electronic measuring equipment. Skinchecker supports cosmetic research, product development and evaluation, professional skincare consultations, and sales promotion.

Smart Tools That Drive Beauty, Quality, and Business Growth

Smartchip Inc. operates in three core business areas:
Skin Condition Visualization Kit — Skinchecker, Skin Diagnosis System — HADA Check.com, and Timestrip time and temperature indicators.

Skinchecker is a compact, fully Japan-made professional skin analysis tool developed by Smartchip. Using Corneum Strip Tape — Corneum Checker and Sebum Indicator Film — Sebum Checker, it collects corneum and sebum directly from the skin to visualize skin condition. Trusted for its safety, quality, and precision, Skinchecker is used in cosmetics and skincare promotion, research and development, and customer counseling. It is selected by many research institutions and professional facilities.

Skin Diagnosis System — HADA Check.com combines Skinchecker with questionnaire-based assessment to provide corporate users with skin diagnosis and skin check services based on corneum and sebum information.

Timestrip, distributed in Japan by Smartchip, provides visual indicators for expiry, time, and temperature management. It is used for filter replacement timing, cold chain logistics, food freshness control, and temperature management for pharmaceutical products.

スキンチェッカー | 角質・皮脂チェッカー - スマートチップ株式会社

Skin Condition Visualization Kit – Trusted Japan-Made Diagnostic Tools, Now Available Worldwide

The Skin Condition Visualization Kit is a compact, Japan-made diagnostic tool developed entirely by SmartChip Inc.
It enables professional-level skin evaluation—without bulky or expensive equipment—and is already trusted across dermatological research, clinical settings, and product development in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries.
Previously, diagnostic chips like D-Squame and Sebutape were offered by Clinical & Derm (U.S.). After their supply became unavailable in early 2023, SmartChip responded to strong demand from research institutions and industry professionals by independently developing and launching the Corneum Strip Tape and Sebum Indicator Film in April 2024.
Built to Japanese manufacturing standards and engineered for consistency, these tools are now available to international markets as a new global standard in skin diagnostics.
If you're looking for a reliable, easy-to-use, and scientifically backed solution, this is the kit to choose.
Whether you're in dermatology, product development, marketing, or retail counseling, the Skin Condition Visualization Kit offers a smarter way to analyze skin—and deliver results your clients can trust.
