About Us
Dermal Defense was created by Dr. Eddie Valenzuela, a board-certified pediatrician and father, who spent years helping patients of all ages manage eczema, dry skin, and other sensitive skin conditions. Through this firsthand experience, he recognized a need for products that deliver real results—without harsh chemicals or irritating additives.
Formulated with medical insight and a deep commitment to gentle care, Dermal Defense offers dermatologist-tested, fragrance-free solutions that help restore comfort, protect the skin barrier, and support long-term skin health. Every product is manufactured in the USA at a cGMP-compliant facility—ensuring the highest level of quality, safety, and consistency.
With compassion, clinical knowledge, and a clear mission, Dr. Eddie created Dermal Defense to help people feel good in their skin—every day.
Our Story
Dermal Defense began with a simple idea: people with sensitive skin deserve better. Dr. Eddie Valenzuela, a practicing pediatrician, saw how often his patients struggled with over-the-counter skincare that was too harsh or ineffective. He knew that managing skin conditions like eczema, flaking, and dryness shouldn’t come with trade-offs.
Guided by science and patient needs, he developed gentle yet effective formulas—free from added fragrance, dyes, parabens, and sulfates. These products were made to calm, hydrate, and protect even the most delicate skin. Today, Dermal Defense continues that mission by offering everyday skincare that’s safe, dependable, and made with purpose.
Each product is proudly crafted in the United States at a certified cGMP facility—an important distinction that ensures pharmaceutical-level standards in quality, safety, and traceability. It’s skincare you can trust—whether you’re managing chronic irritation or just seeking a cleaner, simpler routine.
Our Mission
At Dermal Defense, our mission is to deliver gentle, science-backed skincare for people with sensitive, dry, or eczema-prone skin. We believe effectiveness should never come at the cost of safety—and that everyone deserves products that are both reliable and non-irritating.
Our formulas are developed by a physician who understands the daily challenges of skin sensitivity. They are free from unnecessary ingredients and made in a U.S.-based cGMP facility to ensure the highest levels of purity and consistency.
