Science for Strong Skin

Founded by a chemist and an esthetician, Dieux exists to make skin feel stronger and science feel more human. No mystique, no miracles. Just skincare that simplifies your routine, addresses real concerns, and does exactly what we say it will.

We're dedicated to creating innovative formulas that solve real skin concerns and deliver clinically backed results.

We don't guess, we test...a lot. With independent, third-party labs, we validate our formulas so you know what to expect.

We charge what we should, not what we think we could. Our goal is to always keep products at a fair, not inflated, markup.

As a brand that puts products out into the world, we can't avoid trash, but we can be thoughtful about how we make it.

Why We're Here

"We were tired of products that overpromised and underdelivered. Dieux exists because we believe skincare should be rooted in education, transparency, and science. We want you to ask questions, read the fine print, and see the clinical proof that our products work. Because the truth looks good on everyone."

- Charlotte Palermino & Joyce de Lemos, Dieux Co-Founders

Formulation Philosophy

All products are formulated at the Dieux Lab in Brooklyn, New York. Because we own all of our ideas and formulas (not a given in our industry), we're able to create products with conviction and without compromise.

Our Steps to Creating Skincare with Standards:

Skin Concern

We create skincare to solve real problems. This process starts by addressing a skin concern and how we can improve it.

Dieux Difference

If it already exists, we don't make it. We only formulate when we can offer something new or better.

Ingredients

We carefully determine the hero ingredients, the percentages needed for efficacy, and how they all work together within a formula.

Texture

Texture is foundational to our formulas. We prioritize its consistency, absorption, and how it will finish on your skin.

pH

We always formulate with your skin's pH in mind to ensure our formulas won't disrupt your skin barrier.

Packaging

Protecting the stability and efficacy of every formula is our promise, and using infinitely recyclable and biodegradable materials will always be our preferred choice.

Compatibility

We test to ensure formulas work across different skin types while seamlessly layering with makeup, SPF, and skincare routines without pilling.

Pricing

We're dedicated to offering the highest quality formulas at a reasonable price, with full transparency on how we got there.

Price Transparency

You should know what goes into making the skincare you buy and how that translates into the prices you pay. We share the costs of our products directly on product pages so you can see how we arrive at their final retail prices.

Sustainability

We're committed to Better Trash™, aiming to steer clear of unnecessary waste by choosing recyclable materials and non-mined aluminum for our packaging whenever possible. We source ingredients by prioritizing resources with a lower environmental impact, like biotechnology, while still delivering high-powered, efficacious formulas.

There is still work to be done: some plastic use remains necessary to keep certain formulas stable, safe, and effective. We know this choice creates impact, and we're taking steps to address it while continuing to evolve. Through our partnership with rePurpose Global, we're proud to be Certified Plastic Negative. For every pound of plastic used in our packaging, we are committed to recovering at least four times as much plastic waste from nature.

Our Plastic Negative Impact

Dieux customers have helped fund the ethical recovery of 25,196 lbs of nature-bound plastic. That's the weight of 1.9 million shopping bags!

Philanthropy

Access to information gives us the power to make informed decisions: not just in skincare, but in every aspect of our lives. We've partnered with DonorsChoose with a pledge to donate $100,000 from April 2026 to March 2027. This non-profit organization funds classroom initiatives, so students have the tools and experiences needed for a great education.

We also believe in showing up when our communities need support. In January 2026, when ICE descended on Minnesota, terrorized local communities, and committed the senseless murder of Renée Good, we donated $70,000 to MN Together, a mutual aid fund to support local communities, and $70,000 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota.

Community care is self-care, and we feel fortunate and privileged to champion these phenomenal organizations.
