A dire situation in 1985 became a healing mission. Alan's spouse suffered a serious infection due to a tiny crack in her hand. He discovered urea, which was a natural compound that could be used to heal her infection without harming her skin. This compound was discovered by scientists in the early 1700s and could repair damaged skin. Dermal Therapy was born out of this revelation. Dermal Therapy has been a part of the healing journey for 35 years. Today with Alan in charge and Heather as his partner, Dermal Therapy is continuing its 35 year-long journey. Dermal Therapy is different from other skincare brands because it aims to mimic the natural balance of moisture in your skin using similar ingredients. We do this without the unwanted smells and greasy feel that many other lotions can give. The power of urea is combined with alpha-hydroxy acids to exfoliate the skin, and pure amino acids of silk for a luxurious feel.
