The small composition of each formula that is not natural (2% to 7% depending on the dose) has been included to ensure your skincare programme performs effectively with our technology. Each ingredient has been rigorously tested for its safety and efficacy.

Some active ingredients like our hyaluronic acid complex and konjac are activated at the very last second when the formula is freshly made. 

We use thermocosmetic technology to gently warm the cream to the skin’s natural temperature which helps the cream to be aborbed more effectively*, as well as providing additional sensory benefits. 

*100% of users said the warming thermocosmetic technology helped to improve the absorption of the cream.

The L’OCCITANE by DUOLAB formulas are vegetarian friendly and you won’t find any ingredients of animal origin in our formulas except from bee by-products. 

Our 2 day moisturising bases (Light Cream and Melting Cream) include an emulsifier containing beeswax. No vegan, preservative-free, natural alternative has yet been found to replace this emulsifier. However, we have rigorously selected our beeswax suppliers and chosen partners that share our sustainable, ethical farming philosophy, ensuring no bees were killed in the harvesting of the wax.

 The rest of the DUOLAB skincare collection is free from any ingredients of animal origin and are vegan.

In the cosmetics industry, preservatives are added to formulas to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and to ensure the formulas have a shelf life.

Normally, bacterial contamination in formulas containing water occurs because of contact with the air or contact with a contaminated, non-sterile object, such as a fingertip.

With DUOLAB the safety of these preservative free formulas is ensured by a 3 step process:
1.           the formulas are made and flash sterilised,
2.           the formulas are packaged in a sterile environment and in  sterile, airtight mono dose
3.           the DUOLAB device features a contactless system that ensures that the preservative free formulas never come into contact with the device. The means your formulas stay pure as you apply them on your skin.

DUOLAB’s preservative free formulas also respect the skin’s microbiome.
The skin microbiome is the name given to all microorganisms that live in harmony on our skin and form a natural, protective external layer.
A well-balanced microbiome is extremely beneficial to skin health, providing essential protection against pathogens, supporting our immune system and maintaining skin vitality. 
The skin microbiome is constantly changing and is affected by location, environment and cosmetic use. An unbalanced skin microbiome can result in discomfort, redness, dryness, sensitivity and the aggravation of skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, rosacea, acne, allergies or the ageing process.

By removing all preservatives (added and hidden) from our formulas and preserving them in sterile airtight capsules ensures the total safety and purity of your freshly made creams, while respecting your skin’s natural ecosystem.
