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)
