Dermalogica skincare

Dermalogica is a premier professional-grade skincare brand founded in 1986 by Jane and Raymond Wurwand in Los Angeles, California. The brand emerged from the International Dermal Institute (IDI), which the founders established in 1983 to provide advanced education for licensed skin therapists. Dermalogica's philosophy centers on skin health rather than traditional beauty or "pampering," famously omitting common irritants such as mineral oil, lanolin, SD alcohol, and artificial fragrances from its formulas.

The majority of Dermalogica products are manufactured in Southern California, close to their headquarters in Carson, to ensure strict quality control and support the local economy. In 2015, the brand was acquired by the multinational consumer goods giant Unilever. Under Unilever’s Prestige division, Dermalogica has expanded its global footprint while maintaining its roots in professional education and therapist-led skin analysis. Today, it is recognized as a leading choice for skincare professionals worldwide and remains committed to cruelty-free and sustainable practices.
