How to Read a Skincare Label Transparency & Science by Dr. Dermaluci Lab

🧬 Behind Every Label Lies Science

At Dr. Dermaluci Lab, every label tells a story – of research, precision, and integrity.
Understanding what’s inside your skincare is the foundation of Smart Beauty. Reading an ingredient list (INCI – International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) reveals how science and nature blend to support your skin barrier, hydration, and repair.


đŸ§Ș How to Read a Label Intelligently

  1. Order matters – ingredients appear from highest to lowest concentration.
  2. Active zone – key actives often sit within the first 5–10 ingredients.
  3. Actives vs. bases – water, glycerin, and emulsifiers create structure; actives like niacinamide or retinol drive performance.
  4. Scientific names – Hyaluronic Acid = Sodium Hyaluronate; Vitamin E = Tocopherol.
  5. Avoid noise words – “chemical-free” or “non-toxic” lack scientific meaning.

Knowing these details empowers you to choose skincare that aligns with evidence, not marketing.


🧮 Why Transparency Matters

Dermocosmetic excellence isn’t about secrecy; it’s about clarity.
Each Dr. Dermaluci Lab formulation lists not only actives but their functional purpose: hydration, barrier reinforcement, renewal, or antioxidant support.
This open-label philosophy bridges Italian craftsmanship + clinical science – giving you both confidence and results.


🌿 From Lab to Label – Example: Hyaluronic Acid 5× Complex
