Duolab, skin responsive care

Don't call us skincare

Just because we care about your skin doesn’t mean we’re what you call a “skincare brand”.
We don’t look like one and we don’t look after your skin like one.

At Duolab, we care about what others don’t: your life and its swing.
We are constantly changing, so are the needs of our skin: weather, stress, hormonal variations, fatigue, the list goes on.
A one-size-fits-all skincare solution just won’t do. Nor will the same routine day in, day out.

Because We care a lot more

At Duolab, we offer you a new approach to efficient skincare.
With support from the L’Occitane group, our sponsor, we’ve turned traditional face care upside with a concept that:

Does not rhyme efficacy with using the same cream every day, for months or years
Empowers you to listen and adapt to your skin’s evolving needs by creating your own face care, picking the right active ingredients and textures from a collection of 8 powerful capsules
Uses heat to ensure the super-concentrated active ingredients penetrate your skin more efficiently

At Duolab, we reconcile efficacy with clean, natural ingredients.
Drawing on L’Occitane’s expertise in naturality, we make sure your face cream doesn’t contain anything that might jeopardise your safety or the environment:
Formulas free from ingredients like silicones, mineral oil derivatives, synthetic fragrances and synthetic dyes

Natural ingredients representing between 93% and 98% of the total formula

0% preservatives whether official or unofficial, added or hidden
Fully preserved for 3 years despite the total absence of preservatives
Biome-friendly and respectful of your skin’s natural ecosystem

The result? A freshly blended cream that is efficient, tailored, and preservative-free.

More On Clean Formulas

Free from controversial ingredients

At Duolab, we make formulas with an extremely high percentage of natural, active ingredients. Without exception. With no preservatives of any kind, all our formulas are also free from silicones, mineral-oil derivatives, synthetic fragrances and synthetic dyes, as well as any other ingredients already banned by European regulations.

No preservatives

We are the only ones on the market to totally remove preservatives, while also guaranteeing your formula’s integrity and purity for 3 years. When we say preservative-free, this means there are no official or unofficial preservatives. We don’t add any preservatives to the formulas nor are there any preservatives already present in the ingredients we use. The secret lies in our Absolute Purity Process.

Absolute Purity Process

We carefully control the whole process from A to Z, from product design and production to emulsification at home, right up until the very last second when you apply the cream on your skin. We are committed to:

- Selecting preservative-free ingredients for 100% of every formula
- Excluding official and non-official preservatives, excluding added and hidden preservatives, as well as silicon, mineral-oil derivatives, synthetic fragrances and synthetic dyes
- Producing sterile formulas encapsulated in airtight capsules in a white room
- Developing a device that keeps the sterile formulas pure when you emulsify them at home

So, you can enjoy preserved and protected formulas free from any kind of preservative or controversial ingredient.

Microbiome

Designed to stop bacteria contamination in face cream, preservatives like parabens don’t make the formula any more effective. By opting for a preservative-free cream, you can help protect your skin’s natural microbiome, the good ecosystem of bacteria naturally present on your skin. A strong skin microbiome has been proven to reinforce your skin natural barrier and contribute to healthier skin.

Naturality

We are very transparent about the percentage of natural ingredients in each formula: 1 is 93%, 2 95%, 1 is 96%, 1 is 97% and 3 are 98% natural. What’s left just helps make the textures more sensorial and brings added efficacy that can’t yet be substituted by natural alternatives.

Vegetarian

The formulas are also vegetarian friendly. You won’t find any ingredients of animal origin apart from bee byproducts - two of our emulsifiers contain some bee wax (Day Light Cream and Day Melting Cream) as there’s isn’t yet a natural, vegan and preservative-free alternative. The other 6 capsules are all vegan.

Thermocosmetic innovation

Cutting-edge thermal technology warms the cream to your skin’s natural temperature. This unique system ensures the most effective absorption, scientifically proven.

More On effectiveness

Listening and adapting to your skin’s changing needs using different targeted actives has been proven more effective than applying the same cream day in, day out. What’s more, your skin will also benefit from:

High concentrations of active ingredients
Freshly blended creams applied immediately
A powerful combination of short and long-term actives
Thorough testing of every possible duo
Clinical and satisfaction tests for every formula
A range that has been tested by more than 1,300 women

More On the environment

We only use capsules because we haven’t yet found another way to provide responsiveness with no preservatives. In the meantime, we’ve made sure it’s easy for you to recycle your capsules and aluminum sachets. Simply send the pre-paid envelope to our recycling partner TerraCycle®.

We don’t believe in planned obsolescence. That’s why we guarantee 10 years of reparability (you’ll find all the spare parts you need) to help promote a healthier circular economy and limit waste.

The cardboard boxes for our capsules are sourced from sustainably managed forests. What’s more, the boxes for both the capsules and device can be recycled.
