Ever Wonder Why DermaSkin Loves Black Packaging? ๐Ÿ–ค

๐ŸŒ‘ 1. Protection from Light (Especially UV Light)

โ€ข Why it matters: Many active ingredients in skincareโ€”like Vitamin C, retinol, peptides, niacinamide, and botanical extractsโ€”are photosensitive and break down when exposed to light.

โ€ข Black or dark glass/plastic helps block out UV rays, preserving the potency, stability, and shelf life of the product.


๐ŸŒก 2. Temperature Stability

โ€ข 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.

๐Ÿฆ  3. Reduced Oxidation

โ€ข 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?

โ€ข Serums (especially with Vitamin C, retinol, ferulic acid)

โ€ข Moisturizers with actives

โ€ข Cleansers with sensitive ingredients (enzymes, botanical extracts)
