Brand

Derma E

Derma E was founded in 1984 in Southern California, making it one of the original clean beauty skincare brands decades before the movement had a name. The brand has always formulated without parabens, sulfates, mineral oil, phthalates, and petrolatum, and has been 100% vegan and cruelty-free since inception. Derma E was an early pioneer of putting vitamins (particularly vitamin E, hence the name) and antioxidants into topical skincare at a time when most drugstore products focused on basic moisturization. With 5 products across 4 categories averaging 76/100 at the drugstore tier, Derma E delivers affordable clean beauty with genuine heritage.
