How we formulate
The key to beyond organic is not just what we eliminate. Let's talk about what our formulas DOES contain
We eliminate everything your skin does not need
Ingredients we do not like
(click on each ingredient to see more details)
SYNTHETIC PRESERVATIVES
You already know parabens: they are preservatives of dubious reputation, but they are not the only ones. Did you know that phenoxyethanol and Katon CG also have a similar impact on the health of your skin? We only use preservatives analogous to those found in nature, as accepted by the COSMOS international standard certified by EcoCert.
HARMFUL PHOTOPROTECTORS
If we talk about sunscreens, the key is not to use any chemical filter of any kind or, of course, any compound that damages marine environments such as oxybenzones.
In addition, our sunscreens do not have nanoparticles, so they are much safer on all skin types.
AGGRESSIVE DETERGENTS
SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) and SLES (Sodium Laureth Sulfate) endanger the cellular structure and the protective acid mantle of the skin, being one of the main causes of itching and irritation and other more complicated conditions.
When we formulate a DHYVANA cleanser, we take care that it preserves this protective function of the skin, avoiding these and other aggressive detergents.
PEG/PPG + EDTA + SILICONE + ETC.
There are countless synthetic ingredients that we do not use in our formulas: silicones and silicon derivatives, PEG/PPG others and petroleum products, EDTAs, formaldehyde and other ammonia derivatives, heavy metals, etc.
Some we do not use due to their toxicity to humans or the environment. Others because their continued use can cause irritation or because their combined use has not been sufficiently studied. Some have been shown to be carcinogenic…
If you want a more exhaustive list, the COSMOS regulation is continuously updated and explains which ingredients are included and which are excluded for health reasons. You can consult it here: COSMOS REGULATION
INGREDIENTS OF ANIMAL ORIGIN
We care about the environment and we believe that taking care of it every day is important through each of our decisions. That's why we choose not to include ingredients that harm it in any way, including ingredients that may be in any way cruel to animals (we only use sustainable and cruelty-free ingredients) and 100% vegan.
PERFUME + ALLERGENS
At DHYVANA we always go further. Therefore, in addition to eliminating the most common synthetic compounds and ingredients of animal origin or that harm nature, we have decided to eliminate those ingredients that, even being natural, we see that they may have some contraindication for other reasons and that do not provide specific benefits. to your products. Thus, our formulas are much better for you and much more respectful of your skin.

Ingredients we love
(click on each ingredient to see more details)
ALOE VERA
You will have seen it in many of our formulas and it is the basis of many of our products due to its multifunctionality: it hydrates, nourishes, soothes, regenerates, it is antibacterial and it is a star product, due to its many properties.
VEGETABLE OILS
They come from pressed plants, most of the time from their seeds, and they have a high concentration of benefits, which help to regenerate the lipids of our skin and reactivate its natural protective layer. Depending on its botanical source, its nutrients will vary (vitamins, flavonoids, fatty acids, etc.) and so will its unique properties.
VEGAN HYALURONIC
Did you know that Hyaluronic Acid can retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water, improving transepidermal hydration without irritation or known side effects? We use ours from plant sources and in a broad spectrum of molecular weights: higher molecular weights visibly reduce wrinkles in the outer layers of the skin; while the lower molecular weights penetrate deeper into the skin and ensure longer-lasting moisture retention.
PREBIOTIC FERMENTS
Fermentation is used as a natural alternative to chemical synthesis in the creation of state-of-the-art active ingredients. This process allows the active ingredients to break down into smaller molecules, facilitating epidermal penetration and achieving more beneficial results for skin health. The resulting prebiotics offer beneficial properties, such as improving the skin's barrier function, strengthening the skin's immune system, and stimulating a healthy microbiota.
SEAWEED CAPSULES
This advanced technology encapsulates Chlorella and Kelp algae in a membrane made of Cocoa Butter and releases their nutrients over a long period of time so they can be absorbed more efficiently by the skin. They act on the dark circles under the eyes to reduce inflammation and coloration.
NATURAL VITAMINS
All vitamins come in one form or another from nature, and we use all those that come from plant sources. They help keep the skin protected from free radicals and have additional benefits such as regenerating, stimulating blood flow, and increasing collagen and other tissue renewal.
THERAPEUTIC PLANTS
Unconventional botanical extracts and oils make up a fantastic source of remedies. From Ayurveda to Ancient Chinese Medicine through all kinds of traditional uses, plants have been used for their extraordinary benefits and offer us inspiration in their formulas. When properly combined and used in synergy, we can create solutions unique to your skin and achieve visible, long-lasting results.
NEXT GEN INGREDIENTS
We keep our eyes and ears open for everything new in Natural Science. The plants, as they come, are fantastic in their pure state, and even more so in the form of extracts and oils. As science advances, so do our products. We know that fermentation and encapsulation are great ways to take intact ingredients to the next level, and we continue to look for new ways to improve ingredients and their positive impact on skin.
