Oyster is building the AI infrastructure layer for beauty businesses.

We combine computer vision, dermatological datasets, and predictive commerce to deliver clinical-grade skin intelligence on every customer captured through enhanced photon manipulation on standard smartphone cameras.

Our Skin Intelligence Engine processes selfie-quality images and returns structured dermatological data: concern classification across the Fitzpatrick scale, product-skin compatibility scoring, and longitudinal skin tracking. 

Our proprietary models are trained primarily on melanin-rich skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI), a dataset underrepresented in Western beauty AI and central to our accuracy advantage across African and global markets.
Partners deploy Oyster as an embedded widget, a white-label scan experience, or a full clinic operating system:  pre-consultation analysis, treatment matching, and progress monitoring in one integration.

312,000+ skin scans processed. 21,000 daily active users. Live across retail, DTC, and clinical environments in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Seoul, Nairobi, Accra, Rwanda, Lagos and growing.

HQ: Johannesburg.
