🍃 “Natural” Doesn’t Always Mean Gentle

As a dermatologist, I’ve treated countless cases of skin irritation caused by so-called “natural” extracts.

Tea tree oil, lavender, lemon essence—while they may sound pure, these ingredients contain highly volatile allergenic molecules that can inflame the skin, disrupt the barrier, and increase sensitivity over time.

🌿 Clinical Reality: When Plants Turn Against Your Skin

In one clinical case, a patient developed chronic contact dermatitis after months of using a lavender-infused “natural” night cream. Instead of soothing the skin, it caused persistent dryness, redness, and even flaking.

Another patient experienced a severe photoreactive response after applying a homemade “lemon toner,” resulting in long-lasting pigmentary changes.

These cases remind us: natural doesn’t mean safe—and it definitely doesn’t mean suitable for all skin types.

⚗️ Why Your Skin Prefers Stability Over Nature

Your skin is a highly intelligent, self-regulating system.

It thrives in an environment that is stable, controlled, and clinically validated—not in a constant rotation of fluctuating extracts and essential oils.

Dermatiq relies on clinically stabilized active molecules, such as:

• Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate) — a stable antioxidant that brightens without irritation.

• Niacinamide — strengthens the barrier, reduces reactivity, and evens the complexion.

These ingredients may not sound romantic, but stability is the language your skin understands.
