About the .SKIN domain

What is the .SKIN domain?

.skin is a generic top-level domain with the same origin as its sister extensions .hair and .makeup: it was registered with IANA on 23 December 2015 and originally delegated to L'Oréal, before transferring to its current commercial operator, XYZ.COM LLC, in 2020. After opening to public registration, .skin has reached an extraordinary volume: it exceeds 274,700 domains registered worldwide, 0.57% of all new gTLDs, with 60.23% active in the DNS zone. The most striking part of its registrar profile is the extreme concentration in Spaceship, Inc., which controls 48.83% of the entire market — nearly half — far ahead of Dynadot, Namecheap, NameSilo and GoDaddy, all below 4%.
