"VETTED Dermlab’s skincare is the most amazing thing. I never took care of my skin before I discovered it and now I can’t live without it. Three gorgeous Bay Area female derms started the company."
7x7 Interview with Marie McCarthy, Fiat Lux
People with sensitive, reactive skin often veer toward clean skincare products because they believe they’re safer choices, but clean skincare products aren’t necessarily safer. Especially because there’s no universal definition of clean, those people may have difficulty separating out the products that work for their skin from those that don’t. In fact, Botto, Woodruff and Fox point out that plant-based ingredients popular in clean beauty products can be triggering. Essential oils, for example, tend to instigate allergic reactions.
“All this causes a lot of confusion for patients and consumers,” says Woodruff. “There is so much noise in the marketplace, and consumers are constantly trying to find meaning in words and claims like ‘hypoallergenic,’ ‘clean,’ ‘natural’ and ‘dermatologist-approved,’ which all exist without concrete definition.”
Three Dermatologists Create The Brand Vetted Dermlab To Set A New Standard For Hypoallergenic Skincare
Drs. Nina Botto, Lindy Fox, and Dallas-based Carina Woodruff founded the skincare brand after seeing the harms of common allergens found in mainstream skincare products and even experiencing these issues themselves. The three women sought to make products safe to use for people with allergies that also fill the need for a luxurious self-care ritual.

We all love the idea of clean beauty and people will spend a lot on products that promise just that. But did you know that clean beauty doesn’t really have a clear definition? This can make things pretty confusing for us as consumers.For some people, it may mean products without synthetic chemicals, while for others, it’s all about using natural or plant-based ingredients, or animal free testing. But because there’s no set standard, what one brand calls clean beauty may not match your definition of clean beauty. It really depends on the brand you choose, and there's no universal standard. Unfortunately, it's mostly a marketing term by brands today.Tune into this week's recap episode, where I share key insights from the latest podcast episode featuring Dr. Lindy Fox.Here’s a tip: watch out for common irritants like fragrances, certain preservatives, and essential oils, even if they’re labeled as natural. Also, don’t be fooled by fragrance-free vs. unscented. Fragrance free means no added fragrance, but “unscented” might still have masking scents. If your skin is sensitive, always check the ingredients!
