Filterbaby Assembles Expert Dermatology Advisory Board to Lead Conversation on Tap Water's Impact on Skin Health

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Filterbaby, the pioneering skincare brand known for its cutting-edge water filtration technology, is proud to announce the formation of its inaugural Scientific Board of Advisors.

The board includes four of the most trusted and recognizable voices in dermatology: Dr. Mamina Turegano, Dr. Lindsay Zubritsky, Dr. Jenny Liu and Dr. Anthony Youn. Each brings a wealth of clinical expertise and public health influence to Filterbaby's mission of redefining the role water plays in skincare.

This distinguished panel of dermatologists and doctors will serve as both scientific advisors and public advocates for the brand's mission to raise awareness around how everyday tap water impacts skin health. Together, they will guide Filterbaby's product development and education strategy, deepening the brand's commitment to evidence-based innovation and dermatological integrity.

"I am so excited to share and support Filterbaby as a member of the Scientific Board of Advisors," Dr. Anthony Youn noted, "Clean water is an essential component of clean, healthy, and youthful skin, and Filterbaby is the best avenue for achieving that!"

"As the first dermatologically tested and approved water filter designed specifically for skincare, Filterbaby has been at the forefront of addressing the often-overlooked factor of water quality in daily skincare routines," said Xin Shui, Founder and CEO of Filterbaby. "Our shower and sink filters are engineered using the highest-quality components available, sourced from partners who supply the world's most advanced industries, to deliver what we believe are the best faucet and shower filters for healthier skin and hair. We are proud to partner with a CTO whose family operates one of the leading B2B water purification companies serving TSMC – the world's foremost semiconductor manufacturer, renowned for requiring the purest water on the planet to produce advanced microchips. This unique relationship gives us direct access to ultra-premium materials, world-class laboratories and the ability to test and refine hundreds of product iterations to achieve truly best-in-class performance."

Recent studies and increasing anecdotal evidence suggest that tap water, often filled with chlorine, chloramine, heavy metals and microplastics, can contribute to common skin concerns such as dryness, irritation, acne and flare-ups of other sensitive skin conditions. Filterbaby's flagship faucet-mounted skincare filter removes up to 99.9% of these impurities, delivering cleaner water and a more effective cleansing experience for users with all skin types.

"Healthy skin starts with the basics, and clean water is one of the most overlooked essentials. Filterbaby's advanced filtration technology removes harsh contaminants like chlorine and heavy metals that can compromise the skin barrier." said Dr. Mamina Turegano. "I recommend it to my patients because it helps create a solid foundation for any skincare routine, protecting and supporting the skin before the first product even touches their face."

The brand has already made headlines with its science-backed solution. In 2024, Filterbaby was named one of TIME's Best Inventions of the year, affirming its status as a leader in skincare tech innovation and environmental responsibility.

The launch of the advisory board is the next step in Filterbaby's journey to not only revolutionize skincare through cleaner water, but to spark a broader industry conversation around how tap water quality is a critical, yet often ignored, component of healthy skin.

"It's wild to think that over 80% of Americans filter their tap water for drinking, yet almost no one considers the water we use on our face, where the skin is thinnest and most absorbent," said Lynn Shui, co-founder of Filterbaby. "With the guidance of our Board of Advisors, we're not only advancing the science of skin health, but also raising awareness about the critical role water quality plays in skincare, as it's often the most overlooked step in a routine. We're here to change that, empowering consumers with real knowledge and science-backed solutions that make a meaningful impact."

Dr. Jenny Liu emphasized, "As a dermatologist, I'm always looking for ways to help patients reduce everyday skin stressors. Filterbaby's science-backed filtration system has shown measurable improvements in hydration and skin barrier support – all of which are foundational for healthy, resilient skin."

With its new advisory board in place, Filterbaby is doubling down on its mission to bridge the gap between clinical dermatology and everyday skincare practices. As the brand continues to expand its product offerings and educational efforts, the insights and credibility of its board will be instrumental in shaping the future of how consumers – and the industry at large – think about the water they use on their skin. This partnership marks not just a milestone for Filterbaby, but a meaningful shift in the broader skincare conversation.

"Most people don't realize that tap water can contain impurities like chlorine, heavy metals and harsh minerals that strip the skin barrier, worsen dryness and trigger skin sensitivity," says Dr. Lindsey Zubritsky, "As a dermatologist, I've seen how switching to a filtered water source like Filterbaby can noticeably improve skin health especially in those with skin issues. It could be a game-changing step in your routine."
