You Can Now “Choose” Your Skin Tone with MapmyGenome’s Genetically Enhanced Skin Cream 🌝
April 1, 2022 — Happy April Fools’ Day!
We are thrilled to announce our most revolutionary product yet: ChromaGene™ — the world’s first genetically enhanced skin cream that lets you choose your skin tone from a dropdown menu. Simply select your preferred melanin expression level (Light, Medium, Tan, Deep, or Custom), apply the cream twice daily, and watch your DNA obediently comply.
Features include:
CRISPR-powered melanocyte modulation (patent pending in 47 galaxies)
Blockchain-verified skin tone authenticity certificate
Compatible with all major skin types, blood types, and personality types
Comes with a complimentary genetic counselling session to explain why none of this is real
Disclaimer: ChromaGene™ does not exist. Skin tone is determined by complex genetic factors involving multiple genes (MC1R, SLC24A5, SLC45A2, TYR, and others) and cannot be changed by a cream. We made this up. It’s April Fools’ Day. Please do not attempt to edit your melanin genes at home.
What Is Real: The Genetics of Skin
While we can’t change your skin tone with a cream, your genetics do tell a fascinating story about your skin. Variants in genes like MC1R, SLC24A5, and HERC2 influence skin colour, tanning ability, sun sensitivity, and risk of skin cancer. Understanding your genetic skin profile can help you make smarter choices about sun protection, skincare ingredients, and skin cancer screening.

Genomepatri by MapmyGenome covers skin traits including sun sensitivity, tanning ability, vitamin D synthesis, and skin ageing — plus 100+ other health, nutrition, and fitness traits. No magic cream required.
