DERMagic takes steps to maintain low carbon footprint.


As part of our corporate goal to be as Earth-friendly as possible, not only with our products and packaging, but also in our processes, we are taking a fresh look from a new perspective at how we do everything at DERMagic Skin Care for Animals, Inc.


Right now we are looking at our packing and shipping operation in the contexts of “What is our carbon footprint?” and “How can we reduce waste?” and “What steps can we take to minimize our consumption of natural resources?”

These are huge questions, and we will be continuously on the alert for better ways to address them. Meanwhile, we already recycle or reuse everything we possibly can, and we buy materials that can be recycled or reused whenever possible. If we receive a shipment packed in Styrofoam peanuts, for example, we will save every one and pack your shipments with them! The additional benefit of this is that we keep our costs low and our prices low.  

One of our most recent revelations is all about shipping and its hidden costs to our planet… specifically, it’s about getting DERMagic items from our warehouse to your home or shop. Moving products around the USA is normal and expected, but we see a consumer trend toward favoring locally produced products, and certainly toward domestic products, to save money if nothing else. This is one of the reasons we buy all of our ingredients domestically (with the only exception being Dead Sea salts, which only come from the Dead Sea!). And all our products are manufactured in the USA too. Both of these things will always be the case.

But these kinds of things are obvious, and everyone should already be managing their businesses and personal lives this way. We intend to look much deeper than this, and we will keep you informed of our ideas and actions on this subject.

In the meantime, you can be assured that DERMagic products are all-natural, and made with organic ingredients, and made in the USA, and these ingredients are from producers right here in the USA! Not only that, DERMagic works! And we guarantee it.

Best wishes, naturally…
