What Defines a True Professional Skincare Line

A true professional skincare line is defined by qualities that go far beyond marketing claims. While some companies label themselves “professional,” if they sell directly to consumers, they are not truly professional. At Dermaki, we honor the expertise, loyalty, and years of training our licensed professionals bring to the industry.

Higher Quality and Concentration of Active Ingredients

Professional skincare products feature potent, clinically effective concentrations of active ingredients, sourced for their purity and efficacy. Unlike over the counter (OTC) products, they are designed to deliver measurable results for specific skin concerns. At Dermaki, we follow the science—not a self-proclaimed “secret ingredient.” Your skin health is far too important for shortcuts or gimmicks.

Scientific Backing and Research

Every formulation in a professional line should be grounded in research and clinical validation. This ensures products perform exactly as intended, offering both safety and effectiveness.

At Dermaki, we believe that making quality skincare isn’t like baking cookies—it’s about consistency. To achieve real results, you must be consistent in use, and we must be consistent in formulation. We take pride in producing every batch to the same high standards, so you always know exactly what you’re getting.

Professional-Only Distribution

True professional skincare is distributed exclusively through licensed professionals—such as estheticians, dermatologists, and medical spas. Controlled distribution ensures products are recommended appropriately and used under professional guidance for optimal outcomes.

Comprehensive Product Range

A professional line provides a targeted, adaptable selection designed for diverse skin conditions and types. This allows professionals to build regimens that are both corrective and supportive, customized to meet the unique needs of every client.

Commitment to Education and Support

Leading professional brands invest in education, training, and resources. By equipping licensed professionals with knowledge and support, they ensure both practitioner success and client satisfaction.

Ethical Manufacturing Practices

Integrity matters—not only in formulation, but in production. Ethical professional brands commit to sustainable sourcing, cruelty-free testing, and environmentally responsible packaging, reflecting a dedication to both skin health and global wellness.

Dermaki Skincare: Professional Integrity, Proven Results

Dermaki Skincare embodies the true definition of a professional line: scientifically formulated products, high-quality active ingredients, and distribution exclusively through licensed professionals. With a comprehensive range, ongoing educational support, and ethical manufacturing practices, Dermaki stands as a trusted partner in professional skincare.

Endorsed by Professionals

Dermaki products are recommended by dermatologists, estheticians, medical spas, oncologists, general practitioners, chiropractors, massage therapists and podiatrists for a range of conditions. These include dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis, as well as calloused and dry skin resulting from work conditions, lifestyle, aging, acne, and sensitive skin.

We believe in providing the best skincare products at Dermaki. Vegan-friendly, our range is free of parabens, animal by-products, mineral oils, petroleum, propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfates, harmful colorants and fragrances, and other harsh cosmetic chemicals. Dermaki’s moisturizers are so gentle that they can be used on the face as well as the body. We only use therapeutic-grade essential oils obtained from organically grown aromatic plants that have been third party tested to be pure and to guarantee the highest quality. 

We only use the highest quality ingredients that are certified by the best standards in the world: ISO 9001, GMP, HACCP, HALAL and Kosher.  We also only use ingredients that are sustainable, ethical and transparent.  We want you to know you are getting the best because you deserve to only be putting the best on your skin.  We strive to always source organic and Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, grown without pesticides, no sulphates/parabens or antibiotics.  Dermaki Skincare does not test on animals and is against unnecessary, repeated or senseless animal testing. We are committed to partnering with organizations who also meet these guidelines.  

Clinical Philosophy

At Dermaki Skincare, our clinical philosophy is rooted in corneotherapy, a progressive skin treatment methodology that prioritizes the health and integrity of the skin barrier. We believe that true skin transformation begins with understanding the physiology and histology of the skin—then working with, not against, its natural functions.

Our formulations are driven by:

• Barrier-first strategies that prevent inflammation and restore skin resilience

• Biomimetic ingredients that mirror the skin’s own components to support regeneration

• Pharmaceutical-grade actives for targeted results without irritation

• Purity and potency—no unnecessary fillers, no fragrance, no compromise

Dermaki rejects the outdated notion of aggressive peels, over-exfoliation, and inflammatory protocols. Instead, we promote informed, evidence-based treatment plans tailored to the individual, not the trend.

Whether you’re treating chronic inflammation, post-procedure recovery, acne-prone skin, or visible aging, Dermaki is designed to protect, correct, and support long-term skin health.

Skin sensory—how the skin feels and perceives products—is a crucial but often underappreciated aspect of skincare formulation. It plays a significant role in both the effectiveness and user experience of a product. Here’s why it’s important:

1. Neurosensory Feedback

The skin is a neuro-immuno-endocrine organ loaded with sensory receptors. These receptors respond to external stimuli—temperature, texture, and even certain chemical compounds—sending messages to the brain and triggering physiological responses. Some skincare ingredients can influence:

• Sensory nerves (e.g., menthol or capsaicin),

• Inflammatory response (e.g., histamine release),

• Barrier perception (tightness vs. suppleness).

2. Formulation Acceptance

Sensory characteristics such as texture, spread ability, absorption rate, and after-feel affect whether clients will continue using a product consistently. Even the best ingredients won’t deliver benefits if the user finds the experience unpleasant.

3. Therapeutic Signals

Certain ingredients signal to the skin through sensory pathways to activate repair or anti-inflammatory responses. For example:

• Niacinamide may cause temporary tingling as vasodilation improves microcirculation.

• Essential fatty acids can reduce sensory irritation by restoring barrier function.

4. Corneotherapy Implications

From a chronotherapeutic standpoint, respecting the skin’s natural sensory and barrier functions is essential. If a product overstimulates the skin (e.g., stinging, burning, or dryness), it may compromise barrier integrity—even if it contains beneficial actives.

5. Psychological Impact

Pleasant skin sensory experiences contribute to a sense of well-being and ritual, reinforcing positive emotional associations with skincare routines. This can support skin homeostasis via the skin-brain connection.

In summary, skin sensory matters not just for comfort, but for barrier integrity, compliance, neurocutaneous health, and the overall success of a skincare regimen.

We are proud to be a partner to professionals who want science without sacrifice—and skin results with integrity.

Made for Health and Well-being

We Care About the Earth 🌍

At Dermaki, sustainability is at the core of our mission. We work closely with our distributors to ensure that our ingredients are ethically and responsibly sourced, prioritizing sustainability, fairness, and respect for the planet’s resources.

Our commitment to environmental responsibility drives us to minimize our ecological footprint through:

By making mindful choices, we protect and preserve the health of our planet—because beautiful skin shouldn’t come at the Earth’s expense. 

We Strive to Try and Use As Much Plant-Based Ingredients We Can & Are Always Cruelty-Free

We’re committed to providing ethical, skincare that is kind to both animals and the environment. Our products are never tested on animals and very few products have any animal by products.  A few exceptions would be Lip Balm has beeswax, and Advanced Dermal Complex has Emu Oil.  Your customers can feel good about the choices they make for their skin.

Beware of Misinformation in Skincare!

Not all oils are skin-friendly, despite what some companies claim. Many brands use oils they market as “non-comedogenic,” yet these ingredients often have high comedogenic ratings (3 or higher), which means they can clog pores, trigger breakouts, and even cause allergic reactions if not properly formulated.

For example, coconut oil has a comedogenic rating of 4, making it highly likely to cause breakouts. Some companies use MCT oil (a refined version of coconut oil), suggesting it’s less likely to clog pores. However, MCT oil still has a comedogenic rating of 3, meaning it must be used sparingly to avoid skin congestion.

At Dermaki, we ensure that all our oils and serums maintain a comedogenic rating of 2 or lower, offering the skin-nourishing benefits of natural oils—without the risk of breakouts.

Smart Skincare, Backed by Science

Your skin deserves pure, effective, and responsibly formulated ingredients that support a healthy complexion. Trust Dermaki for skincare that is as transparent as it is transformative.

What Our Products Go Through Before Reaching You

We take skincare seriously. Before any Dermaki product reaches the market, it undergoes rigorous testing to ensure safety, stability, and efficacy.

Cosmetic Challenge Test

Also known as the Preservative Efficacy Test (PET), this assessment ensures that our preservative systems effectively prevent microbial contamination, safeguarding product integrity and consumer health.

Stability & Compatibility Testing

We test our products under various conditions to guarantee their physical, chemical, and microbiological stability from production to expiration. Additionally, we ensure compatibility between the product and its packaging, preventing any material interactions that could compromise quality.

Efficacy Testing

We validate every cosmetic claim—whether moisturizing, lifting, firming, or beyond—using advanced experimental techniques to ensure our products deliver real, measurable results.

Safety Assessment

Since skincare products are in direct contact with the body, we conduct comprehensive safety assessments, including:
✔ Dermal irritation tests
✔ Ocular irritation tests
✔ Corrosion and sensitization (patch tests)

Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR)

Every Dermaki product undergoes a safety assessment by a qualified professional before reaching the market. We also conduct safety evaluations for every small batch we produce, ensuring the highest standard of quality and compliance.

At Dermaki, our mission is simple: to provide high-integrity, results-driven skincare while prioritizing ethics, sustainability, and transparency.

Let us help you make skincare choices you can trust.

Why Dermaki Uses Safe Preservatives

Many people hear the word preservative and immediately think “bad.” But here’s the truth: preservatives are what keep your skincare safe and healthy for your skin.

Without them, products could grow bacteria, mold, and yeast — which can cause breakouts, irritation, or even infections.

At Dermaki, we only use modern, gentle preservatives that are:
✨ Skin-friendly – chosen because they work with your skin, not against it
✨ Globally recognized as safe – approved by EU, FDA, and Health Canada standards
✨ Used at the lowest effective level – just enough to protect, never enough to stress the skin
✨ Barrier-conscious – they don’t disrupt your skin’s natural balance or microbiome

We don’t believe in harsh chemicals, and we don’t believe in gimmicks like “preservative-free.” Instead, we believe in smart science that keeps your products safe, fresh, and effective — just as your skin deserves.
