Fiona Tuck

AUTHOR, NUTRITIONAL MEDICINE PRACTITIONER AND SKIN EXPERT

Fiona Tuck is one of Australia’s most well-respected skincare and nutrition experts. She has over 30 years of experience in the professional skincare industry and is known in the media as ‘the myth buster’. Fiona takes a forensic and often challenging approach to skincare and nutrition with an emphasis on decoding misleading marketing and fad consumer trends. Fiona’s in-depth knowledge has made her a sought-after media commentator and one of Australia’s most televised nutrition and skin experts.

Fiona is a Skincare Expert, Cosmetic Chemist, Nutritionist, Author and accredited member of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society and Australian Society of Cosmetic Chemists and member of the British Dermatological Nursing Group. Fiona’s extensive experience in the professional skincare industry includes roles as International Training Manager for Dermalogica, Corporate Dermal Trainer for Aspect and Cosmedix Cosmeceuticals, Managing Director of Skinstitut and founder of VITA-SOL Integrative Skincare. Her smart, savvy and intuitive approach to business led her to successfully build the brand Skinstitut, an Australian professional corrective skincare range. The Skinstitut concept of using therapeutic dosages of active ingredients minus the misleading marketing claims and astronomical markup of regular professional skincare was an industry first, causing major disruption within the skincare arena. This resulted in a call for ingredient transparency, lower professional skincare prices and rapid consumer growth, with Skinstitut developing to become one of the most successful professional skincare brands in Australian history. Skinstitut was subsequently sold in 2017 to KKR, one of the world’s largest private equity groups.

Fiona launched VITA-SOL clinical nutraceuticals in 2018 with a mission to help build skin confidence by helping people look and feel their very best. Fiona is passionate about developing the highest quality products that she trusts and feels 100% confident in. She is the co-host of The Irony of Beauty Podcast, a published author of the book “The Forensic Nutritionist” and devotes much of her time researching, presenting, commenting in the media and building her brand VITA-SOL.
