# Dermalogica

> Dermalogica is a professional-grade skincare brand founded in 1986 by UK-trained skin therapist Jane Wurwand and is part of Unilever. It was created to support trained skin therapists through education-first expertise and professional services, alongside high-performance formulas. Dermalogica is “clean since 1986”: formulas are free from artificial colors and fragrances, mineral oil, lanolin, S.D. alcohol (denatured alcohol), parabens, and microplastics; the brand is cruelty-free (PETA + Leaping Bunny) and vegan (all but 4 products).

Jane Wurwand founded The International Dermal Institute (IDI) in 1983 in Los Angeles to provide postgraduate education for skin therapists; Dermalogica followed in 1986 as the product line aligned with that professional training. Dermalogica is recommended by 100,000+ skin therapists globally across 80+ countries. On Dermalogica Canada, free standard shipping applies on orders of $50+; orders ship with Purolator, and the site offers Afterpay as a payment option.
