.skin is a top-level domain (TLD) that was delegated to the Root Zone in ICANN's New gTLD Program on January 15, 2016. The registry for this gTLD is managed by L'Oréal, with back-end services provided by Verisign. This domain falls under the category of Health and has priority number 1761. As of now, there have been 1,596 registrations made on .skin, with 7 of these domains currently parked. The delegation of this TLD took place on March 2, 2021.
The acquisition of the .skin domain comes with certain restrictions due to its designation as a Health gTLD. During the application process, L'Oréal received a GAC Early Warning from Heather Dryden, the representative of Australia and GAC Chair. The warning system is a strong recommendation from national governments to the ICANN Board that a given TLD application should be denied due to potential negative impacts on competition and unintended consequences. In this case, the applicant was seeking exclusive access to a common generic string related to a broad market sector - skin care. This could potentially have negative effects on competition within the industry. It is important for prospective buyers of the .skin domain to be aware of these restrictions and ensure compliance with ICANN guidelines to avoid any potential issues. There are no current restrictions on owning this domain beyond those imposed by ICANN and applicable laws.
