It is important to note that “FDA-notified” or “FDA-registered” status does not automatically equate to “FDA-approved” for specific cosmetic results. Philippine FDA records confirm that specific cosmetic products have been notified and provide registration information; however, this does not independently substantiate every marketing or efficacy claim made by sellers.

Publicly available information regarding the founding of Transformed Skin is limited compared to larger Philippine beauty companies. Regulatory records indicate that the brand has been present in the Philippine cosmetics market for several years.

For instance, the Philippine FDA database records an HonestGlow Tinted Papaya Sunscreen SPF 50 under Transformed Skin with an issuance date of July 27, 2023. 9

The company name appearing on earlier notifications is Transformed Beauty and Wellness Products Trading. More recent FDA records also associate Transformed Corporation with products carrying the Transformed Skin or Honest Glow branding. 10 This suggests that the brand’s corporate structure has evolved over time, although public sources do not provide sufficient detail to construct a complete corporate history timeline.

The Transformed Skin portfolio is broadly divided into two recognizable families:

Glow 190

Glow 190 is one of the principal skincare ranges of Transformed Skin. It is particularly associated with rejuvenating skincare sets, soaps, toners, creams, and sunscreens. The Philippine FDA database contains notifications for products including:

• Glow 190 Rejuvenating Toner
• Glow 190 Rejuvenating Night Cream
• Glow 190 Daily Glow Sunscreen SPF 30
• Glow 190 Rejuvenating Soap
• Glow 190 Ceramide Glow Boosting Soap

Third-party product listings describe some Glow 190 sets as containing ingredients such as niacinamide, alpha arbutin, and aloe vera extract, positioning the products toward brightening, moisturizing, and general skin care concerns. 25

Honest Glow

Honest Glow is another major identity associated with Transformed Skin. The line includes facial and rejuvenating sets, papaya and kojic soaps, glass-skin products, facial cleansers, toners, serums, serum lotions, sunscreens, night creams, and body care products.

The FDA database shows a substantial number of Honest Glow products under either TRANSFORMED SKIN or HONEST GLOW, with the corporate entity varying between Transformed Beauty and Wellness Products Trading and Transformed Corporation. A 2025 FDA notification, for example, identifies Transformed Skin Honest Glow Papaya Kojic Soap as a cosmetic product intended for cleansing and brightening the skin. 37

Cleansing products

Cleansing is a core category in the brand’s portfolio. Examples include:

• Glow 190 Rejuvenating Soap
• Glow 190 Ceramide Glow Boosting Soap
• Honest Glow Facial Foam Wash
• Honest Glow Glass Skin Foam Wash
• Honest Glow Papaya Kojic Soap
• Honest Glow Sunflower Niacinamide Soap

FDA records indicate that the Glow 190 Rejuvenating Soap has been marketed for cleansing, moisturizing, and whitening or brightening purposes, while the Ceramide Glow Boosting Soap is described specifically as a soap for hydrating dry skin. 3

Toners

Toners form a significant part of the brand’s facial care system. FDA records list products such as:

• Glow 190 Rejuvenating Toner
• Glow 190 Daily Ceramide Essence Toner
• Honest Glow Brightening Toner
• Honest Glow Aloe Ice Toner

The breadth of these offerings suggests that Transformed Skin aims to provide complete skincare routines rather than solely individual cleansing products. 6

Serums and lotions

The Honest Glow range has expanded into concentrated skincare products. FDA records include:

• Honest Glow Glass Skin Serum
• Honest Glow Serum Lotion
• Niacinamide Serum
• 24K Gold Papaya Serum
• Honest Glow Aloe Ice Niacinamide Serum Lotion

Some of these products are registered under Honest Glow, while others use Transformed Skin as the brand name. 11

Moisturizers and creams

The brand offers facial creams intended to complement its cleansing and toning products, including:

• Glow 190 Rejuvenating Night Cream
• Honest Glow Rejuvenating Cream
• Honest Glow Fresh Night Cream

The Glow 190 Rejuvenating Night Cream has a Philippine FDA notification issued in January 2026, with an expiry date in January 2027. Its FDA-listed intended use is moisturizing the face. 8

Sunscreens

Sun protection is another significant category. Products associated with Transformed Skin include:

• Glow 190 Daily Glow Sunscreen SPF 30
• Glow 190 Daily Ceramide Sunscreen SPF 30
• Honest Glow Face Sunscreen
• Honest Glow Fragrance-Free Sunscreen SPF 50
• Honest Glow Tinted Papaya Sunscreen SPF 50

The FDA database contains multiple notifications for these products. 1114 The brand combines its brightening and rejuvenating positioning with daily sun care products, consistent with modern skincare routines.

The name Glow 190 is closely associated with Transformed Skin. Online listings commonly present Glow 190 as a multi-product rejuvenating skincare system rather than a single standalone product. Retail listings frequently show combinations involving soap, toner, cream, and sunscreen. 15

The number 190 is reflected in commercial presentation, with some retailers referring to the collection as the “Glow 190 Rejuvenating Set.” However, the exact origin or intended meaning of “190” is not clearly documented in reliable public sources.

Transformed Skin products are marketed around several common cosmetic ingredients:

• Niacinamide: Used in skincare formulations to support the skin barrier and improve the appearance of uneven tone.
• Alpha arbutin: Commonly used in cosmetic brightening formulations.
• Aloe vera: Frequently positioned as a soothing and moisturizing botanical ingredient.
• Kojic acid: Associated with the brand’s kojic and papaya soap products and brightening positioning.
• Papaya: Used as a botanical component in several Honest Glow products.
• Ceramides: Featured prominently in newer Glow 190 Ceramide products.

Retailer listings for the Glow 190 Rejuvenating Set specifically identify niacinamide, alpha arbutin, and aloe vera extract among its ingredient features. 25 However, the presence of these ingredients does not guarantee specific results for every user.

Transformed Skin occupies a distinct segment of the Philippine beauty market: affordable, results-oriented skincare sold in ready-made routines and sets. Its marketing vocabulary revolves around concepts such as glow, rejuvenation, brightening, glass skin, whitening, moisturizing, pore care, clear-looking skin, and anti-aging.

Retail descriptions of Honest Glow products emphasize achieving a “glow” and “glass-skin” appearance, while Glow 190 listings focus on rejuvenation and brighter-looking skin. 9 This positioning makes the brand recognizable within the Philippine “rejuvenating set” and affordable brightening skincare market.

Transformed Skin maintains a substantial presence in online commerce. Products are available through Philippine marketplaces such as Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop, as well as specialist beauty retailers. Marketplace listings feature multiple versions of Glow 190 and Honest Glow sets, individual products, and bundles. 251516

The products are also sold internationally through retailers serving overseas Filipino consumers. For example, PNY Beauty lists products such as the Glow 190 Rejuvenating Set, Honest Glow Facial Set, Honest Glow Glass Skin Soap, and Glow 190 sunscreen. 4 Other international retailers, including BeautybyKat, Rosyskin Essentials, and Kanna Beauty, also carry the brand. 121314

A verifiable aspect of Transformed Skin is its presence in the Philippine FDA Cosmetic Product Notification database. Examples of registered products include:

67810

Older notifications also exist, including the HonestGlow Tinted Papaya Sunscreen SPF 50 notification issued in 2023. 9 Cosmetic Product Notification is a regulatory status and does not guarantee medical effectiveness or validate all advertising claims.

Based on its product portfolio, Transformed Skin is characterized as a mass-market, affordable Philippine skincare brand focused on visible skin result messaging. Its identity centers on affordable Filipino skincare emphasizing glow, brightening, rejuvenation, cleansing, hydration, and everyday sun protection.

Rather than positioning itself as a luxury dermatological brand, its commercial strategy emphasizes accessible skincare routines, bundled sets, and individual products at relatively low retail prices. Current marketplace listings show many sets and products positioned at inexpensive price points. 5

Transformed Skin has a significant footprint on Philippine e-commerce platforms, where products receive substantial customer ratings and reviews. Search results on platforms like Shopee and TikTok Shop show multiple Honest Glow and Glow 190 products with ratings generally in the high 4-star range. 25

User reviews on social commerce platforms describe experiences with Glow 190 products, though such feedback should be regarded as consumer anecdotes rather than clinical evidence. The brand has developed a recognizable consumer following, particularly among shoppers seeking inexpensive skincare sets.

The naming convention between Transformed Skin and Honest Glow can be confusing as they appear together extensively in product listings and FDA records. Some products use TRANSFORMED SKIN as the brand name, while others use HONEST GLOW or TRANSFORMED SKIN HONEST GLOW.

The FDA database demonstrates this overlap, containing products under both names, with some 2025 products explicitly branded “TRANSFORMED SKIN HONEST GLOW.” 37 Consequently, Honest Glow is best described as a closely associated product or brand identity within the Transformed Skin ecosystem, rather than a legally identical entity without stronger evidence.

As of August 2026, Transformed Skin remains represented in Philippine FDA records and online retail listings. However, individual cosmetic notifications have different issuance and expiry dates. The regulatory status of each individual product must be verified separately, as not all historical Transformed Skin products remain active.

Several older notifications from 2025 and early 2026 have reached their listed expiry dates, while newer notifications extend into late 2026 or 2027. 8

Transformed Skin is a Philippine skincare brand best known for its Glow 190 and Honest Glow product families. Its portfolio spans soaps, cleansers, toners, serums, lotions, creams, rejuvenating sets, and sunscreens. The brand’s commercial identity centers on affordable skincare, brightening, rejuvenation, hydration, and “glowing” or “glass-skin” aesthetics. 9

The brand has a documented history in the Philippine cosmetics market dating back to at least 2023, with numerous products in the Philippine FDA Cosmetic Product Notification database under the corporate names Transformed Beauty and Wellness Products Trading and Transformed Corporation. 10

While Transformed Skin has established a strong e-commerce presence and consumer-oriented product ecosystem, publicly available information regarding its founders, ownership history, headquarters, manufacturing arrangements, financial performance, and detailed corporate history remains limited.
