Our story
Skincare that shows its work.
Proven actives at levels that do something, honest labels, and formulas made in the USA.
01Why we started
Most premium skincare sells a feeling. We wanted the opposite.
A celebrity face, beautiful packaging, a famous name. The ingredient list is small print, the concentrations are a secret, and the price says more about the name on the jar than about what's inside.
So we built formulas around actives with published research behind them, at levels that do something, made in small batches by an experienced American manufacturer.
02How we formulate
Every formula, written down
We start with the active, not the marketing. Each formula is built around ingredients with published research behind them, at levels that do something, and every batch is recorded from formulation to fill.
Then we put the full ingredient list on every product page and stand behind the result with real support from a USA-based team, not a call center.
03Our name
Personal and precise
Dear, for how every letter once began. Alchemist, for the first people to write down exactly what they mixed.
04How our products are made
Made in the USA, batch by batch
Most skincare on the shelf is imported or owned by global corporations. Every Dear Alchemist batch is controlled, consistent and traceable from formulation to fill.
- 04.1
Formulated and filled in the USA
Every formula is formulated, manufactured and filled in an American facility.
- 04.2
FDA-registered facility
Made in a registered facility that operates under Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
- 04.3
ISO 22716 standards
The facility follows the international standard for cosmetic manufacturing.
- 04.4
Never tested on animals
Nothing we make is tested on animals. If an ingredient is in the formula, it earns its place.
NoteNo added fragrance in our face care, because scent is one of the most common causes of irritation. The one exception is our Vitamin C Serum, with a touch of orange peel oil. Hair and body products are lightly scented.
