The Moment Your Skin Changed.
Forever.
When Dermalogica meets skin,
skin health is redefined.
Dermalogica is the number one
choice of skin care
professionals and consumers
worldwide. Why? Because for over
25 years, we’ve been dedicated
to delivering skin health
results through education,
innovation, and professional
recommendation, not through
advertising, frilly packaging,
promises of miracle cures, or
overblown hype.
Education First
While the Dermalogica story
begins in 1986, the force of
change in the industry started
in Los Angeles, circa 1983. Jane
Wurwand, a tenured, United
Kingdom-trained skin therapist
new to the American
“esthetician” industry,
recognized that continuing skin
and body therapy education was
practically non-existent in the
United States. While her
training had been comprehensive
and serious, US students entered
the industry licensed yet
under-trained, and worse,
under-respected.
Jane put her education in
action, opening a small
classroom in Marina del Rey,
California under the name The
International Dermal Institute (IDI).
She invited licensed skin
therapists to get hands-on with
the postgraduate training so
critical to making them
competitive in the business.
Today, IDI is considered the
international gold-standard for
postgraduate skin and body
therapy training with over 40
locations worldwide.
The Making of Dermalogica
While teaching at IDI, it didn’t
take long for Jane to realize no
product line embraced her belief
of skin health as opposed to
“beauty,” so she developed her
own. And in 1986, Dermalogica
was born. The vision was clear –
a product line free of common
irritants and ingredients that
could cause breakouts (including
lanolin, SD alcohol, mineral
oil, artificial colors and
fragrances) that would improve
skin health, and were only
available from qualified skin
therapy professionals trained at
The International Dermal
Institute.
As a brand, Dermalogica
immediately upset the prevailing
paradigm of beauty and glamour
by classifying skin care as a
health issue as opposed to a
cosmetic concern. Just as we
removed common irritants from
the ingredient menu, Dermalogica
also introduced a powerful new
element into the brand identity:
the specialized expertise of the
professional skin therapist.
Then, as now, all our products
are manufactured in the USA, we
have never taken part in animal
testing, and Dermalogica is sold
only where professional
consultation and professional
treatments are performed by
professional skin therapists. In
just over 20 years, Dermalogica
has become the number one choice
of skin care professionals
worldwide, prescribed more often
than any other product
available.
Dermalogica is a privately owned
company (meaning we are not
owned by a beauty conglomerate,
holding company or financiers)
driven first by education and
research. We take pride in being
true pioneers in the industry,
growing from a modest
store-front in Marina del Rey to
the now 145,000 square foot
Corporate Headquarters in Los
Angeles (and locations worldwide
in close to 50 countries) --
never wavering on our initial
vision of skin health and the
skin health professional.
Know Your Zones
Truly understanding your skin is
the first step towards a
lifetime of skin health. Start
with a Dermalogica professional
skin therapist: fortunately,
with over 75,000 of them in 48
countries, chances are you have
a skin health expert just around
the corner.
Armed with Dermalogica’s unique
Face Mapping® skin analysis,
your Dermalogica professional
skin therapist will decode your
skin – zone by zone – and equip
you with the real advice and
results-driven regimen only
available from a trained
professional.
We’re Not Pretty.
(Or beautiful.
Or pampering. Or luxury.)
We’re far too interested in
guiding you to a new level of
skin health fitness! So, while
our packaging may not be
designed to color-coordinate
with your bathroom, you can
always be sure that we’ve spent
our time on delivering your skin
the high-performance formulas it
needs. Plus, we’ll never use
common “beauty” ingredients like
Mineral Oil, Lanolin, artificial
colors and fragrances or other
cheap fillers. Sure, it’s easier
to formulate with them, but the
bottom line is they’re just bad
for your skin. Instead, we use
ingredients that we know will
work – our confidence founded by
skin care professionals
worldwide who use our products
in their treatment rooms every
day because they get results.
Now that you know our story,
it’s time to explore the story
of your skin. Experience our
online Speed MappingSM for the
product regimen that will change
skin health forever! |

A combination of high quality,
technically impeccable products,
and over 40 years of experience
in the nail care field, make
Mavala of Switzerland a
noteworthy success story:
Jean Maute, President of Mavala
since 1962, credits the firm's
success with its ability to
maintain its independent
position as a specialist in the
face of competition from the
diversified giants.
Entering the UK market in 1959
with the revolutionary
Scientifique (a penetrating nail
hardener that not only remains
one of the company's top
sellers, but has outlasted
perhaps 100 copies), the company
has continually developed,
refined and expanded the product
base.
The Nail range now incorporates
20 treatment products, to solve
common nail problems from slow
growth to ragged cuticles. These
treatment products are
complemented by the Mini Color
nail enamels, over 130 fashion
and classic shades.
In 1986 Mavala extended their
fingernail expertise to the
hands with the Swiss Hand Care
programme. The line consists of
four products based on natural
substances that work to activate
the renewal of skin cells and
help the skin retain moisture.
Mavala has entered two new
areas: complexion care with the
Mavalia cosmetic and skin care
range and the Swiss Foot Care
and Beauty programme, composed
of eight inter-active products
to maintain comfortable,
beautiful, trouble-free feet.
Aside from its own distribution
companies in Switzerland, France
and England, Mavala now reaches
more than 130 markets throughout
the world. However, whilst
meeting the demands of the store
customer, Mavala have not
forgotten the professional side
of the business. They recognise
the importance and the special
requirements of the professional
manicurist – not only in product
terms but with good quality,
efficient and economical
equipment too. Mavala operate
manicure schools offering
professional training in England
and France.
Their research laboratories are
located adjacent to the
manufacturing facilities at
their Geneva headquarters and
they carry on continual analysis
of nail problems and their
solutions with the manicure
schools providing feedback.
To summarise:
What lies behind Mavala's
success is a combination of
training, providing solid
information, and products that
really do work. But there is
much more to attractive hands
than pretty polish – as Mavala
emphasise with their claim
"WORLD LEADERS IN NAIL CARE".

It’s now over a decade since we
revolutionised self tanning.
Before St. Tropez, customers
looking for a natural looking
sun-free tan took their chances
with products that offered
patchy, streaky and frankly
orange results. Our innovative
original formula changed all
that in one sleek, sweep of the
hand. Overnight, our customers
discovered a simple, reliable,
professional self tanning system
that delivered professional
results first time, every time.
With our truly radical
formulation, St. Tropez has
since become the iconic tanning
brand of our age. And with a
continual line of innovative
products designed to deliver
exactly the tan you want with a
wealth of skin benefits, too,
the future looks golden. |
