with so much misleading information online about alcohol in skincare, it’s no surprise that some believe it’s not all that bad. however, extensive research proves otherwise—certain types of alcohol can harm your skin, leading to dryness, irritation & even increased oil production.
at dermal essentials, we believe in formulating products that nourish & protect your skin, which is why we steer clear of harmful alcohols like sd alcohol, denatured alcohol & isopropyl alcohol. these fast-drying alcohols might provide an instant matte finish, but they also strip the skin of essential moisture, disrupt the skin barrier & trigger inflammation that can worsen breakouts & premature aging.
on the other hand, fatty alcohols like cetyl, stearyl & cetearyl alcohol are beneficial, providing hydration & helping to stabilize formulations without irritation. these are the types of alcohols you’ll find in our products, ensuring your skin gets the best possible care without compromise.
choosing alcohol-free or skin-friendly formulas is key to maintaining a healthy, radiant complexion. explore dermal essentials’ range of scientifically backed skincare to keep your skin glowing without the damaging effects of harsh alcohols.
shop smarter, choose better—your skin will thank you!
