About Dermia Natural Handmade Skincare

Dermia make skincreams from only the finest oils and plant extracts that are naturally occuring to provide a safe, kind and effective skincare solution.

We do not use oils for their exotic names or smells, but purely for their skin care benefits. For example, dry skin is caused by under-active sebum (oil-producing) glands.
Therefore our oils in our facecream for dry skin have properties which encourage sebum glands to produce more oil. Naturally, the opposite applies for oily skin, and for combination skin (both or neither dry or oily) we use balancing oils.

Why do we use only Essential Oils in our Skincreams?

Essential oils are ideally suited to skin care because they are readily absorbed through the skin and have a plethora of benefits to your skin.

For example:

• Are highly antiseptic
• Help speed up the removal of old skin cells and stimulate the growth of new cells. This improves the appearance of the skin.
• improve muscle tome and blood circulation
• Help eliminate waste
• Reduce inflammation of the skin
• Reduce the production of sebum
• Reduce the impact of emotional stress

Essential oils can be easily incorporated into any skin cream base, lotion, gel, toilet water or perfume, and of course most of the essential oils have an appealing scent. When giving a facial treatment the effect of the scent is important in itself. The scent of the oils used in the skin creams help to achieve relaxation.

The skin is designed to prevent the absorption of many substances by the body. The determining fact is the size of the molecules in the essential oils. The small molecular size of the essential oils allows them to penetrate the skin. Many substances such as lanolin and mineral oils, often found in skincare products, have a large molecular size and will not be as easily absorbed by the skin.

Dermia Skin Cream Bases

Many of the skin creams that are commonly available contain mineral oil or petroleum. Skin creams that use these bases will often find that the active ingredients are not fully absorbed by the skin.
However Dermia skincare use only pure vegetable bases. These allow the skin to fully absorb the powerful active ingredients, even if sensitive.
