Ever Wonder Why DermaSkin Loves Black Packaging? ๐ค
๐ 1. Protection from Light (Especially UV Light)
โข Why it matters: Many active ingredients in skincareโlike Vitamin C, retinol, peptides, niacinamide, and botanical extractsโare photosensitive and break down when exposed to light.
โข Black or dark glass/plastic helps block out UV rays, preserving the potency, stability, and shelf life of the product.
๐ก 2. Temperature Stability
โข Dark bottles can help regulate internal temperature slightly better than clear ones, especially in fluctuating environments, reducing the risk of ingredients degrading due to heat and light exposure.
ย
๐ฆ 3. Reduced Oxidation
โข Light exposure speeds up oxidation. Keeping serums and moisturizers in dark bottles slows this process, helping to maintain product effectiveness and safety (especially for antioxidant-rich formulations).

Ideal for Which Products?
โข Serums (especially with Vitamin C, retinol, ferulic acid)
โข Moisturizers with actives
โข Cleansers with sensitive ingredients (enzymes, botanical extracts)
