# BYOMA vs The INKEY List

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/compare/byoma-vs-the-inkey-list

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for the United Arab Emirates.

BYOMA and The INKEY List are two British skincare brands offering moisturizers, toners, cleansers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/serum), eye products, and more. BYOMA is known for its tri-ceramide and squalane formulations, while the latter relies on [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/glycerin). Both brands suit sensitive skin, though the first also targets dry sensitive skin and the second fits combination skin best. They differ primarily in their [proprietary](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/proprietary) scientific complexes, with the brand from 2022 utilizing tri-ceramides and squalane for barrier hydration, and the 2018 brand focusing on glycerin to restore barrier function.

BYOMA is a British skincare brand founded in 2022 and owned by Bansk Group since 2025.

The INKEY List is a British skincare brand founded in 2018 and owned by Brand Evangelists for Beauty Limited.
