Certified skincare

Certified skincare: four labels to look for

The skincare here nourishes, moisturises and addresses concerns such as fine lines, blemishes and dry skin. All products are dermatologically tested or carry an independent label, and many have several. Here’s how to understand the labels:

• Dermatologically tested: almost all products here. The product was tested on volunteers under the supervision of a dermatologist, and no one had a reaction. See dermatologically tested skincare.
• Vegan Trademark: almost all products here. The label is administered by The Vegan Society and means that there are no ingredients of animal origin and that the ingredients have not been tested on animals. See vegan skincare.
• AllergyCertified: a large part of the selection. Toxicology experts have assessed each ingredient to keep the risk of allergy as low as possible. See allergy-friendly skincare.
• A-flask: selected serums and creams have received the best rating in the Danish Consumer Council Tænk’s Kemiluppen app. See skincare with the A-flask rating.

Which certification is right for you?

If allergies are your biggest concern, start with AllergyCertified. If you want to avoid animal ingredients, look for Vegan Trademark, and if you want to know that the product has been tested on skin, dermatologically tested is the label for you. Many products have all three, such as 24 Hour Cream, Super Serum and Cleansing Gel in the fragrance-free variant.

Certified skincare for your entire routine

A label provides reassurance, but it’s the effect you can see in the mirror. That’s why the products contain active ingredients: hyaluronic acid, which binds moisture in the skin, niacinamide, which makes pores and pigmentation spots less visible, and retinol and peptides, which make fine lines less visible. Choose, for example, Hyaluronic Serum for moisture, Retinol Serum for fine lines and more even skin, Pigmentation Serum for pigmentation spots and Daily Sun Shield SPF 50 for light sun protection every morning.

You’ll find cleansers, toner, serum, day and night cream, eye cream, masks, sunscreen, aftersun, body lotion, hand cream and lip care. Read more about the label on our page about AllergyCertified products, or find your routine for suggestions of products that suit your skin.
