Dermalogica is only available in appointed skin care centers by recommendation

THE DERMALOGICA DIFFERENCES
The unique approach to skin care pioneered by Dermalogica is based
on several important differences between Dermalogica and any other
skin care product.
NO MINERAL OIL
Mineral Oil is a petroleum by-product which leaves a greasy film on
the skin surface. Dermalogica uses lightweight, natural vegetable
oils as alternative emollients.
NO LANOLIN
Lanolin is a wax derivative of sheep wool, and can be allergy-causing
and comedogenic.Dermalogica uses aromatic essential oils and silk
proteins as moisturizing agents.
NO ARTIFICIAL COLOURS
Artificial colours in products can cause skin irritation and breakouts.
Dermalogica does not use artificial colour. The natural ingredients
determine the final appearance of any Dermalogica product.
NO ARTIFICIAL FRAGRANCE
Companies add artificial fragrance to products to improve their smell.
These can cause allergies and skin sensitivity. Dermalogica allows
the herbal extracts and aromatic plant oils in the formula to determine
the products unique fragrance.
NO S.D. ALCOHOL
Specially Denatured Alcohols are used in many products to artificially
dry the skin surface. This strips natural moisture from the skin and
leads to excess dryness. Dermalogica uses naturally astringent herbal
extracts and oil-absorbing clays to help treat excess oiliness in
problem skins.
NO FORMALDEHYDE
Formaldehyde is a common preservative in many products. It can cause
dryness and irritation. Dermalogica preserves its products with alternative
preservative systems to ensure the safety of the products throughout
their usage.
NON-COMEDOGENIC
Products may contain comedogenic ingredients, which cause breakouts
and acne. Dermalogica products are designed to be non-comedogenic,
and are suitable for acne-prone skin conditions. This is why they
are recommended by dermatologists and used in their medical practices.
CONTAMINATION FREE PACKAGING
Products that are packaged in jars are easily contaminated with bacteria
from the hands and environment. Dermalogica packages its products
in the most hygenic containers, to avoid contact contamination during
use.
Dermalogica is proud of its commitment to safe and effective skin
care products and welcomes your comments and suggestions for further
improvements. Please contact Dermalogica's Research and Development
