PROXY STATEMENT
For the Annual Meeting of Shareholders
To be held September 5, 2008

NO PERSONS HAVE BEEN AUTHORIZED TO GIVE ANY INFORMATION OR TO MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOLICITATION OF PROXIES MADE HEREBY, AND, IF GIVEN OR MADE, SUCH INFORMATION OR REPRESENTATIONS MUST NOT BE RELIED UPON AS HAVING BEEN AUTHORIZED BY SKINVISIBLE, INC. OR ANY OTHER PERSON.
 
MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED
 
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Skinvisible, Inc. (the “Company”) for use at the annual meeting of the shareholders of the Company, or any adjournments thereof.  The meeting will be held at 3273 E. Warm Springs Rd., Las Vegas, Nevada 89120, on September 5, 2008, at 11:00 am Pacific Daylight Time, for the following purposes:
 
1.  
To elect three directors to serve until the next annual meeting of the shareholders and until a successor has been elected and qualified;
 
2.  
To confirm the appointment of Sarna & Company as the Company’s independent certified public accountants for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007;
 
3.  
To approve an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance from 100,000,000 to 200,000,000; and
 
4.  
To transact any other business that may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment of the meeting.

This proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy are first being mailed to shareholders on or about August 22, 2008.
 
RECORD DATE
 
The Board of Directors of Skinvisible, Inc. has fixed the close of business on August 4, 2008 as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the annual meeting.

PROXY SOLICITATION
 
In addition to the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors through use of the mails, proxies may also be solicited by Skinvisible, Inc. and its directors, officers and employees (who will receive no additional compensation therefore) by telephone, telegram, facsimile transmission or other electronic communication, and/or by personal interview.  The Company will reimburse banks, brokerage houses, custodians and other fiduciaries that hold shares of common stock in their name or custody, or in the name of nominees for others, for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding copies of the proxy materials to those persons for whom they hold such shares.  The Company will bear the costs of the annual meeting and of soliciting proxies therefore, including the cost of printing and mailing this proxy statement and related materials.  The Company has spent approximately $8,000 in legal and other expenses in the preparation of this proxy statement and other expenses connected with the solicitation of security holders.  It is anticipated that the Company will spend an additional $1,000 in solicitation of security holders before the meeting is held.

Any questions or requests for assistance regarding the Company's proxies and related materials may be directed in writing to the Chief Executive Officer, Terry Howlett, 6320 S. Sandhill Road, Suite 10 Las Vegas, Nevada 89120.
 
QUORUM
 
The presence, in person or by proxy duly authorized, of One Percent (1%) of all the shares outstanding, represented by shareholders of record, will constitute a quorum of that voting group for action on that matter.  Shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy (including shares which abstain or do not vote with respect to one or more of the matters presented for stockholder approval) will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists at the annual meeting.
 
VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF
 
The nominees elected as directors are those receiving the largest numbers of votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election, either present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, up to the number of directors to be elected by such shares.  Shareholders entitled to vote at any election of directors are not entitled to cumulative votes.  Votes may be cast in favor of the election of directors or withheld.  Votes that are withheld will be counted for the purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but will have no other effect on the election of directors.

Confirmation of Sarna & Company as auditors for the Company and approval of the amendment of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation increasing the number of common shares authorized for issuance will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast, excluding abstentions, at any meeting at which a quorum is present.

Each share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote per share on each matter presented to the stockholders for approval at the annual meeting.  On August 4, 2008, there were an aggregate of 80,024,238 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.
 
4


Shares held in “street name” by brokers or nominees who indicate on their proxies that they do not have discretionary authority to vote such shares as to a particular matter will not be voted in favor of such matter and will not be counted as shares voting on such matter.  Accordingly, broker non−votes, if any, will be counted for the purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but will have no effect on the election of directors or the approval of the other matters voted upon at the annual meeting.
 
OTHER MATTERS
 
All Proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder.  If no choice is specified, the proxies will be voted FOR the election of all the nominees to serve as our directors and FOR the approval of all of the other proposals set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting and on the proxy card.  If other matters are properly presented, however, the persons named as proxy appointees will vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matters.  The grant of a proxy also will confer discretionary authority on the persons named as proxy appointees to vote in accordance with their best judgment on matters incident to the conduct of the annual meeting.
 
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
 
No proposals have been received from any shareholder to be considered at the annual meeting.

The deadline for submittal of shareholder proposals for the next regularly scheduled annual meeting will be not less than 120 calendar days before the date of the company's proxy statement released to shareholders in connection with the previous year's annual meeting.  A shareholder proposal submitted outside the processes of SEC Regulation Section 240.14a−8 will be considered untimely if received at the principal offices of the Company on or after 45 days prior to the Company's release of its proxy statement to shareholders.
 
DISSENTERS’ RIGHT OF APPRAISAL
 
There are no rights of appraisal or similar rights of dissenters with respect to any of the scheduled matters to be acted upon at the annual meeting.

 
REVOCATION OF PROXY
 
Execution of a proxy by a shareholder will not affect such shareholder's right to attend the annual meeting and to vote in person.  Any shareholder who executes a proxy has a right to revoke it at any time before it is voted by: (a) advising the Company in writing of such revocation; (b) executing a later−dated proxy which is presented to us at or prior to the annual meeting; or (c) appearing at the annual meeting and voting in person.  Attendance at the annual meeting will not itself be deemed to revoke a proxy unless the shareholder gives affirmative notice at the annual meeting that the stockholder intends to revoke the proxy and vote in person.

5

 
INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
 
No person has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the any matter to be acted upon other than the election of directors.

SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ AND CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE INFORMATION PRESENTED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT, AND SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO COMPLETE, DATE, SIGN AND PROMPTLY RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Company currently has an employment agreement with its sole executive officer, Terry Howlett.   The term of the agreement is three (3) years.  Unless extended or renewed, the agreement will terminate on January 1, 2009.  Under the agreement, Mr. Howlett earns a cash
 
7

 
stipend of $13,333.33 per month ($160,000 per year).  In addition, the agreement provides for Mr. Howlett to be awarded stock options at the discretion of the board of directors.  Our two independent directors currently receive a stipend of $1,000 per month, in addition to discretionary awards of stock options.

Currently, the objective of the cash compensation paid by the company is to provide fair reimbursement for the time spent by our executive officer and independent directors to the extent feasible within the financial constraints faced by our developing business.  The stock options granted to our executive officer and to our independent directors are intended to provide these individuals with incentives to pursue the growth and development of the company’s operations and business opportunities. Although the options awarded to our executive and directors are typically exercisable immediately, they also remain valid and exercisable for terms of several years.  We believe this provides the proper balance of short-term and long-term incentives to increase the value of the company.  Although an immediate increase in share price following the issuance of the options would obviously result in a profit if those options were exercised, the longer exercisable period of the options also provides an incentive to increase value over the long term and gives our executive officer and directors the opportunity to realize gains based on the sustained growth of our operations and revenues.

In addition, our sole executive officer holds substantial ownership in the company and is generally motivated by a strong entrepreneurial interest in expanding our operations and revenue base to the best of his ability.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding.  We are not aware of any pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us.

To the best of the Company’s knowledge, during the past five years, none of the following occurred with respect to a present or former director, executive officer, or employee: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner
 
10

Our policy regarding related transactions requires that any director or officer who has an interest in any transaction disclose the presence and the nature of the interest to the board of directors prior to any approval of the transaction by the board of directors. The transaction may then be approved by a majority of the disinterested directors, provided that an interested director may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at the meeting of the board of directors to approve the transaction.

AUDIT COMMITTEE
 
We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee.  The entire Board of Directors performs the functions of an audit committee, but no written charter governs the actions of the Board when performing the functions of that would generally be performed by an audit committee.  The Board approves the selection of our independent accountants and meets and interacts with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial reporting.  In addition, the Board reviews the scope and results of the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent accountants our annual operating results, considers the adequacy of our internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing and accounting matters including fees to be paid to the independent auditor and the performance of the independent auditor.

For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, the Board:
 
1.  
Reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management, and
 
2.  
Reviewed and discussed the written disclosures and the letter from our independent auditors on the matters relating to the auditor's independence.

Based upon the Board’s review and discussion of the matters above, the Board authorized inclusion of the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 to be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
NOMINATION COMMITTEE
 
The Company's Board of Directors does not maintain a nominating committee.  As a result, no written charter governs the director nomination process.  The size of the Company and the size of the Board, at this time, do not require a separate nominating committee.

The Company's independent directors annually review all director performance over the past year and make recommendations to the Board for future nominations.  When evaluating director nominees, the Company's independent directors consider the following factors:
 
§  
The appropriate size of the Company’s Board of Directors;
 
§  
The needs of the Company with respect to the particular talents and experience of its directors;
 
§  
The knowledge, skills and experience of nominees, including experience in finance, administration or public service, in light of prevailing business conditions and the knowledge, skills and experience already possessed by other members of the Board;
 
§  
Experience in political affairs;
 
§  
Experience with accounting rules and practices; and
 
13

 
§  
The desire to balance the benefit of continuity with the periodic injection of the fresh perspective provided by new Board members.

The Company’s goal is to assemble a Board that brings together a variety of perspectives and skills derived from high quality business and professional experience.  In doing so, the Board will also consider candidates with appropriate non-business backgrounds.

Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although the Board may also consider such other factors as it may deem are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.  In addition, the Board identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of the Board willing to continue in service.  Current members of the Board with skills and experience that are relevant to the Company’s business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination.  If any member of the Board does not wish to continue in service or if the Board decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the Board then identifies the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria above.  Current members of the Board are polled for suggestions as to individuals meeting the criteria described above.  The Board may also engage in research to identify qualified individuals.  To date, the Company has not engaged third parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying potential nominees, although the Company reserves the right in the future to retain a third party search firm, if necessary.  The Board does not typically consider shareholder nominees because it believes that its current nomination process is sufficient to identify directors who serve the Company's best interests.
 
MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Board met 12 times, in person or by telephonic conference.  Each incumbent Director attended in excess of 75 percent of the total meetings of the Board.   In addition, various matters were approved by consent resolution which in each case was signed by each of the members of the Board then serving.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE NOMINEES.  PROXIES SOLICITED BY SKINVISIBLE, INC. WILL BE SO VOTED UNLESS SHAREHOLDERS SPECIFY IN THEIR PROXIES A CONTRARY CHOICE.

PROPOSAL NO. 2
SELECTION OF AUDITORS

PROPOSAL NO. 3
AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) adopted a resolution setting forth an amendment to Article 5 of the Articles of Incorporation, which would increase the total number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance from 100,000,000 to 200,000,000, par value of $$0.001 per share, and directed that the proposed amendment by considered at the next annual meeting of the stockholder entitles to vote on the amendment.  If this proposed amendment is adopted, the newly authorized shares of Common Stock will have voting and other rights identical to the currently authorized shares of Common Stock.

Of the 100,000,000 currently authorized shares of Common Stock, 80,024,238 shares were issued and outstanding as of August 4, 2008.

The Board of Directors believes that it is in the Company's best interests to have the flexibility to issue a substantial number of additional shares of Common Stock as needs may arise without further shareholder action unless required by applicable law, regulation, listing requirements or the Articles of Incorporation.  At present, we have no agreements, understandings or plans for the issuance or use of the additional shares of
 
15

 
Common Stock proposed to be authorized.  However, the Board of Directors believes that the current number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock will be insufficient to meet our future needs.  The availability of additional shares will enhance our flexibility in connection with possible future actions, such as corporate mergers, acquisitions of businesses, property or securities, stock dividends, stock splits, financings, employee benefit programs, and other proper corporate purposes.  The Board of Directors will determine whether, when and on what terms the issuance of shares of Common Stock may be appropriate in connection with any of the foregoing purposes, without the possible expense and delay of a special meeting of shareholders.

If this proposal is approved, the Board of Directors does not intend to seek further shareholder approval prior to the issuance of any additional shares of Common Stock in future transactions unless required by law, the Articles of Incorporation or the listing requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Common Stock may be listed.  Further, the Board of Directors does not intend to issue any shares of Common Stock to be authorized under this proposal except upon the terms the Board of Directors deems to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

The issuance of additional shares of Common Stock may, among other things, have a dilutive effect on earnings per share, and on stockholders' equity and voting rights.  The issuance of additional shares, or the perception that additional shares may be issued, may also adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock.  Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights.

Shares of authorized and unissued common stock could be issued in one or more transactions that could make more difficult, and therefore less likely, that any takeover of the Company could occur.  Issuance of additional common stock could have a deterrent effect on persons seeking to acquire control.  The Board also could, although it has no present intention of so doing, authorize the issuance of shares of common stock to a holder who might thereby obtain sufficient voting power to assure that any proposal to effect certain business combinations or amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws would not receive the required shareholder approval.  Accordingly, the power to issue additional shares of common stock could enable the Board to make it more difficult to replace incumbent directors and to accomplish business combinations opposed by the incumbent board.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION.  PROXIES SOLICITED BY SKINVISIBLE, INC. WILL BE SO VOTED UNLESS SHAREHOLDERS SPECIFY IN THEIR PROXIES A CONTRARY CHOICE.
