Ever Wonder Why DermaSkin Loves Black Packaging? 🖤

🌑 1. Protection from Light (Especially UV Light)

Why it matters: Many active ingredients in skincare—like Vitamin C, retinol, peptides, niacinamide, and botanical extracts—are photosensitive and break down when exposed to light.

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


🌡 2. Temperature Stability

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.

 

🦠 3. Reduced Oxidation

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?

Serums (especially with Vitamin C, retinol, ferulic acid)

Moisturizers with actives

Cleansers with sensitive ingredients (enzymes, botanical extracts)
