# Dermalogica

> Dermalogica is a professional skincare brand founded in 1986 by UK-trained skin therapist Jane Wurwand and owned by Unilever. It is education-first and was created to serve trained skin therapists; it is foundationally linked to The International Dermal Institute (IDI), which Jane Wurwand founded in Los Angeles in 1983 to provide postgraduate education for skin therapists. Dermalogica is “clean since 1986” and formulated without artificial colors or fragrances, mineral oil, lanolin, S.D. alcohol (denatured alcohol), parabens, and microplastics; the brand is cruelty-free (PETA + Leaping Bunny) and states that all but 4 products are certified vegan.

Dermalogica’s professional distribution model is built around education and clinical practice: IDI (1983) came first, and Dermalogica (1986) was created as the aligned product line for trained professionals. Dermalogica is recommended by 100,000+ skin therapists across 80+ countries. This site (“Dermalogica The Book”) appears to be a beta, AI-powered reference for Dermalogica retail and professional products, professional services, devices, and ingredient information.
