Dermalogica is a professional-grade skin care brand founded by a skin therapist, so we know how to make custom skin care solutions that work - not just today, but for life. Our mission has always been the same: create innovative products that actively improve skin health.
Before there was Dermalogica, there was Jane Wurwand, a graduate of the United Kingdom’s comprehensive skin therapy training and apprenticeship system. Jane immigrated to the U.S and noticed that America’s standard of skin therapy education was far behind Europe’s. She and her husband Raymond seized the opportunity to start The International Dermal Institute IDI in 1983. Today, IDI is considered the international gold-standard for postgraduate skin and body therapy training with 37 locations worldwide. While teaching at IDI, it didn’t take long for Jane to realise no product line embraced her belief of skin health as opposed to “beauty,” so she developed her own. And in 1986, Dermalogica was born. Revolutionary at the time, the vision was clear – a product line free of common irritants and ingredients that could cause breakouts (including lanolin, SD alcohol, mineral oil, artificial colours and fragrances) that would improve skin health.
