Small-Batch Science

From Source to Stability

We prototype in small batches, validate texture behavior in heat and humidity, then scale with strict QA.

  1. Sourcing

    Traceable botanicals and pharma-grade carriers selected for stability with actives.

  2. Small-batch lab emulsifier

    Emulsification

    Low-shear mixing protects sensitive actives; batches tuned by rheology.

  3. Cleanroom filling and sealing line

    Fill & Seal

    Cleanroom filling with oxygen control and tamper-evident seals.

  4. Stability chamber under controlled climate

    Stability & QA

    Heat/humidity cycling, microbial checks, and packaging compatibility before release.

Why We Make

Dermalion Manifesto

Climate, commute, and crowded days shape how skin feels in India. Our promise is practical care: small-batch textures that breathe in heat, calm in rush, and stay honest on the label.

We start with the weather, not with a trend. Heat and humidity change how products sit on skin, how long a slip should last, and how much residue is too much. That is why our base systems come first: gel essences for fast comfort, light veils that protect without trapping sweat, and cloud creams that cushion without a greasy after-feel.

“Small batch” for us is not a slogan; it is a control choice. Smaller runs mean tighter checks, faster tweaks, and fewer compromises when a season swings. We tune spread, slip, and residue on each batch, then cycle stability in warm and cool rooms to make sure the feel stays true over time.

Labels should be plain. We write ingredient stories in clear words and keep claims modest and measurable. If a texture is designed for indoor light, we say so. If a polish is low-acid and short-contact, we say that too. There is enough noise in skincare; our pages should lower the volume.

Your day is a series of transitions — sun to shade, street to office, call to commute. Routines must be short and flexible. Two steps should feel complete. Three steps should feel like a calm weekend, not a chore. Reapplication needs to be quick, water-light, and friendly to crowded trains.

How We Choose Ingredients

We prefer steady, well-known actives that play nicely in heat. Niacinamide for tone, centella for calm, ceramides for cushion. We avoid heavy occlusives for daytime in humid cities and reserve richer seals for cool nights or dry interiors. Fragrance, when present, fades fast by design.

What We Test, Every Time

  • Feel metrics: spread, slip, residue, and rinse-off ease.
  • Heat fit: wear under sun and indoor screens; mist compatibility.
  • Packaging: oxygen control, clean dose, no clogging, seal integrity.

Comfort includes conscience. We choose formats that refill easily, caps that stay shut in bags, and labels that you can read at a glance. If a pouch saves plastic without hurting stability, we use it. If it doesn’t, we keep the bottle and say why.

Clear Rights & Honest Support

You can ask what is inside, how it was tested, and why it feels the way it feels. You can also ask us to simplify a routine for your specific climate and schedule. We answer in practical steps, not scripts.

We make things for real days — not for perfect bathrooms. The right texture is the one you finish.

If a product does not fit your day, we want to know. Our iterations are guided by field notes from commutes, offices, studios, and classrooms across India. This journal of small details is how the line gets better without getting louder.

Thank you for choosing small-batch care. May your routine be short, your textures quiet, and your skin feel steady — in heat, in rain, and in the long bright months between.
