Skn-gen Ingredients & Drug Interactions
by Genestra Brands
What is this page for?
First and foremost: checking Skn-gen against your medications. The heart of this page is the interaction checker and the full interaction report — how this product’s ingredients may interact with prescription and over-the-counter medicines you may be taking.
Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Skn-gen by Genestra Brands
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
Skn-gen is a liquid formula with 3 active herbal ingredients: Elm bud extract, English Walnut bud extract, and Cedar of Lebanon young shoot extract. These are plant tissue extracts — early bud or shoot material from these trees.
The product also contains purified water, ethanol, and glycerin as inactive ingredients (the base that holds the active extracts).
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
English Walnut extract is possibly effective for high cholesterol. For heart disease and diabetes, the evidence isn't strong enough to rate.
The effectiveness data we hold doesn't cover Elm or Cedar of Lebanon, so we can't speak to what those ingredients may do.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
English Walnut extract from the nut itself is generally well tolerated, though it can soften stools and cause mild bloating. People with tree nut allergies need to be cautious — walnuts can trigger serious allergic reactions, and oral allergy syndrome (itching in the mouth, and rarely swelling of the lips and tongue) may occur.
Walnut leaf extract has been reported to cause mild diarrhea in a meaningful number of users. The safety of concentrated walnut leaf or husk extracts and the safety of concentrated supplements overall hasn't been well studied.
No pregnancy or breastfeeding data is on file for Elm or Cedar of Lebanon; for English Walnut, the evidence is mixed (possibly unsafe in lactation, likely safe in pregnancy), so discuss with your doctor or pharmacist before using during either.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. That said, because we have no interaction data for Elm bud or Cedar of Lebanon, ask your pharmacist or doctor to verify this product won't interfere with your specific medications before you take it.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Skn-gen is a herbal extract blend marketed for skin health. If you have tree nut allergies or a history of oral allergy syndrome, this product isn't a fit because of the walnut content.
If you take medications, check them against our tool on this page, or confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before starting. Pregnant or nursing?
