Who is derma e®?

Natural, proven ingredients, advances in biotechnology, and twenty years of experience - derma e combines these important elements to produce powerful, therapeutic body care products.

In the 1960's, vitamin E was recognized as an antioxidant with beneficial properties. However, it was only available as a dietary supplement. The Stearn family discovered from reading the research that vitamin E would be just as beneficial topically and indeed necessary for skin health. Thus, they founded derma e®. The first product developed was their Vitamin E 12,000 I.U. Moisturizing Crème, still popular today. They labelled it derma e® to distinguish the crème from the other dietary supplements and to help inform consumers about its use and contents.

That first success has grown into a much larger, more sophisticated company, offering a full array of skin and hair therapy products, a company dedicated to developing and producing the highest quality, most effective products for healthier, more beautiful skin. The creativity and vision that helped generate the very first product still characterize the company today. The formulation team, comprised of David Stearn, Linda Miles, and Susan Morehart, has over ninety years of collective experience in the natural health care industry. David Stearn, the President and co-founder, has been formulating natural skin care products for over thirty years. Linda Miles, Vice President, a Doctor of Oriental Medicine (DOM), contributes her knowledge of eastern herbs and acupuncture. Susan Morehart, Director of Sales and Marketing, is a qualified Naturopath, Homeopath and Medical Herbalist with over twenty-five years of experience utilizing natural health products and therapies.

The team formulates all products using the best of nature's time-tested ingredients and the latest in scientific advancement. When new substances are identified or discovered, derma e® carefully reviews the scientific studies and literature associated with the potential ingredient. If the research demonstrates and substantiates that the substance improves skin health when topically applied, they consider the ingredient as a potential inclusion in future formulations. As part of their commitment to maximum quality, therapeutically effective products, and continuing their tradition of being first in the natural health industry, derma e® has chosen to use proprietary ingredients such as Pycnogenol®, Astazanthin, and Ester-C®. Extensive research backs these patented ingredients and the brand name ensures consistently powerful and standardized products.

derma e®'s commitment to maximize quality and effectiveness carries on throughout the manufacturing process. Quality raw ingredients are essential to the production of quality products, and derma e® selects only the best. derma e® sources ingredients worldwide and only purchases those with proven levels of active therapeutic components. A Certificate of Analysis must accompany all incoming ingredients. Private laboratories conduct further tests before each ingredient is used. Every batch is produced with effective quantities of the therapeutic ingredients. The batch is then tested for effectiveness, accuracy of formulation, stability of the product, and to guard against microbial and bacterial contamination. derma e® does all of this to ensure consumers receive an excellent product that visibly improves skin health.

derma e® wants results. Potent vitamins, antioxidants and herbs are chosen because they have been shown to improve skin health. However, derma e® also realizes that the supportive formulating ingredients must also be of exceedingly high quality and never be harmful. Essential oils are used whenever fragrances are required. The products do not contain mineral oil, lanolin, propyl ingredients, sodium laurel sulfates nor parabens.

derma e®'s philosophy extends to the consideration of animal welfare, and as a result does not employ animal testing, nor use animal by-products in the formulation of products. All products are pH balanced and non-comedogenic. derma e® also believes in giving customers honest information and in providing full disclosure labelling. If at any time, new research reveals that a particular ingredient found in derma e®'s products may be potentially harmful, the formulation team works diligently to replace the ingredient as quickly as possible.

derma e®'s commitment and dedication extends beyond their products. Within the office, the management team cultivates a healthy, relaxed, family-style atmosphere and positive work ethic. There is a recycling program and efforts are continually being made to improve energy conservation. Furthermore, all products are now packaged in 100% recyclable materials. derma e® is a member of the National Nutritional Foods Association (NNFA) that supports the natural health industry, and the Co-op America Business Network that is committed to 'green' business.

Outside the office, derma e® regularly donates to the Special Olympics program as well as various animal welfare groups, environmental organizations, homeless and women's shelters across the country.

derma e® promises skin care products that provide results. It is important to combine nature's most potent substances and scientific knowledge to create unique, effective, skin therapies. All products are formulated by experts, backed by research, and are cruelty free. As a company, derma e® believes in honesty, satisfaction, and giving back. After twenty years, derma e®'s commitment to quality remains just as strong and the desire to contribute to positive changes in the world continues to grow.
