DNA testing is a scientific method used to analyze an individual's DNA, the genetic material that carries unique information about their ancestry, traits, and health. Our laboratory uses advanced techniques to extract, amplify, and analyze DNA, providing valuable insights into various aspects of an individual's genetic makeup.
DNA samples are typically collected through a simple and painless process, such as a cheek swab or saliva sample. Detailed instructions will be provided with the DNA testing kit, and our customer support team is available to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have about the collection process.
It will take 5-8 Business days or less from the day that we receive samples at our laboratory. You will be notified via email that we have received your samples and will begin to process them. Once the report is ready you will be able to view your results directly in your account. You can export your report into PDF format for your convenience.
Yes, we take the privacy and confidentiality of your genetic information seriously. Our laboratory adheres to strict privacy protocols, and your genetic data is securely stored and handled in accordance with legal and ethical standards. We do not share your information without your explicit consent.
Absolutely not. DNA Allure is a privately owned, independent laboratory, and your trust is our top priority. We never sell, share, or provide your genetic information to third parties for research, marketing, or any other purpose.

DNA testing can offer valuable information about your ancestry, family relationships, and potential health risks. It can also be helpful in confirming biological relationships, such as paternity or maternity testing. Understanding your genetic profile can empower you to make informed decisions about your health and well-being.
Epigenetics is the study of how your environment, lifestyle, and daily habits can influence the way your genes are expressed — without changing your underlying DNA sequence.
Think of your DNA as the blueprint for your body. Epigenetics acts like the “on/off switches” or “dimmer controls” that determine how strongly certain genes are activated. Factors such as diet, stress, sleep, pollution, and even skincare routines can cause chemical changes around your DNA that impact how your body functions.
At DNA Allure, we focus not only on your genetic code but also on how lifestyle choices can work with your genes to help you look, feel, and live your best. Understanding your genetic predispositions empowers you to make choices that positively influence your gene expression over time.
At DNA Allure, we provide you with a personalized report that includes detailed information about your DNA and how it relates to your overall health and well being. We also guide you on how to address those needs by providing you with a list of ingredients, treatments or lifestyle changes that can improve your overall health. Our report will include your own personal genetic map - the SNPs used for the test and the genotype that you carry within your DNA.
Depending on whether you take the DNA Allure skin test or nutrition test, you will be able to know your specific needs based on your own personal genetics. We test for single nucleotide polymorphisms or SNPs, which vary across individuals and determine how your body reacts to different compounds in your environment, diet and skincare. By providung you with a detailed report of your SNPs and how your DNA relates to your health, you will be able to learn a better personal approach to your skincare or nutritional goals.
Single nucleotide polymorphisms or SNP are single points in the genome that vary across individuals. The SNPs that we test for in the DNA Allure Skin Test determine your skincare needs by revealing which areas of your skin need more attention based on your own genetic map. We then use this information to analyze what issues your skin may have and suggest treatment and management to improve your overall health.
No, your DNA test results do not change. However with the information your results have provided you can manage and combat any unfavourable outcomes you have received. Thankfully with epigenetic’s - the science of lifestyle and environment and its relationship to our genes. We can focus on adjusting our lifestyle and manage our day to day activities to enhance and take care of our natural beauty. Lifestyle changes can influence the outcome of our overall health and wellbeing.
