Expertise
With the independent expertise of toxicologists, each formula of a product that comes into contact with the skin is assessed using a strict methodology covering:
Assured confidence
A strict methodology
A complete assessment of formulas (ingredients, concentrations, pH, exposure)
An evaluation aligned with international frameworks: SCCS, REACH, IARC, CIR, NICNAS, NTP
Annual controls and updates, including random in-store sampling (10% of products).
The objective: go beyond regulatory requirements to provide consumers with clear, reliable, international information.
Our commitments
Integrated standards
An international benchmark based on global frameworks. Independent toxicologists take all relevant international standards into account in their assessments. Here are some of our sources.
Methodology
The aim of the Derma Score label is to provide additional and transparent information on the ingredients found in products intended—or likely—to come into contact with the skin. The assessment is carried out by independent toxicologists based on the complete formula provided by the manufacturer (ingredients and concentrations) and according to a representative use scenario.
Complete analysis
Each formula is examined by independent toxicologists using precise quantitative data.
The philosophy of the Derma Score label is inspired by cosmetic regulations: product safety is based on ingredient safety.
Unlike simple label checks, certified companies provide full formulation data to enable a real and transparent toxicological evaluation.
The core principle is clear: “the dose makes the poison.” Each substance is evaluated to identify its effects, define tolerance thresholds, and determine safe exposure levels.
Regular controls
This approach guarantees the continuous reliability of the label and strengthens its credibility for both consumers and professionals.
Rating and controls
The independent Derma Score label, created and registered by Air Label SRL, aims to provide consumers with clear, precise and reliable information on the toxicological characteristics of products in contact with the skin.
It is a voluntary initiative, complementary to existing regulations, designed to reinforce transparency and support informed choices.
The label positions itself as an international reference, valid in all countries, offering harmonised and easily understandable information.
Derma Score assigns a grade from A+ to C to guide consumers.
This rating does not replace medical advice and does not constitute a therapeutic claim. It does not exempt consumers from consulting a professional.
