Face & Body
Jane Wurwand, a tenured, United Kingdom-trained skin therapist new to the American "esthetician" industry, opened a small classroom in Marina del Rey, California under the name The International Dermal Institute (IDI), recognizing that continuing skin and body therapy education was practically non-existent in the United States.
Today, IDI is considered the international gold-standard for postgraduate skin and body therapy training with over 40 locations worldwide. 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 colours and fragrances) that would improve skin health, and were only available from qualified skin therapy professionals trained at The International Dermal Institute.
Then, as now, all dermalogica products are manufactured in the USA, and they have never taken part in animal testing.;
