Skin care brand derma e celebrates 30 years

SIMI VALLEY, Calif. — Skin care brand derma e has announced that June will mark the company’s 30th anniversary.



 “In 1984, we introduced the first topical vitamin E crème to health food stores and vitamin shops in Southern California.  At that time, the health food industry was less than 1% of the total food industry, and there were only three Whole Foods Markets in existence,” stated David Stearn, co-founder and president of the family owned and operated company. “I am proud to say that with a combination of dedication, persistence, good instincts and a handful of other health-minded individuals, derma e helped grow and shape the natural industry into what it is today.”



Over its 30-year span, derma e has witnessed the explosive growth of the natural market as concerns over environmental sustainability and human wellness have risen. Consumer demand for safer, healthier products has fueled innovation for cleaner formulas, greener packaging, carbon-minimizing production and GMO-free ingredient sourcing.  This period also gave rise to the discovery of super antioxidants and vitamins.



“Two key turning points for derma e included the discovery of pycnogenol, a potent antioxidant found in the bark of France's maritime pine tree, and clinical research proving the benefits of topically applied Retinyl Palmitate, a gentle form of vitamin A,” added Linda Miles, co-founder and chief formulator of derma e. “These two ingredients enabled us to deliver serious anti-aging performance along with high-end aesthetics. It’s rewarding to know that derma e is trusted by more and more people for bridging the gap between healthy natural ingredients and real, effective results.”
