Dermasport is a dermatologist-founded skincare brand built for athletes and active lifestyles. Our formulas are designed to perform through sweat, sun, chlorine, and salt water without breaking down.
Dermasport was founded by Dr. Chris Schmidt, a board-certified dermatologist who has been swimming, running, and surfing for over 50 years. His first-hand experience with sun damage and dry skin led to a decade of research and product development for fellow athletes.
Our products are formulated and manufactured in the U.S. at FDA-registered facilities. Our aluminum bottles are sourced from Spain. Our plastic tubes are sourced from Mexico.
ARC is our proprietary Ageless Recovery Complex, developed by Dr. Schmidt, that helps active skin recover faster from sun, sweat, and environmental stress. All of Dermasport's products are formulated with ARC.
The United States Lifesaving Association chose Dermasport because our formulas perform in real-world ocean conditions - lifeguards need sun protection that won't sting, smudge, or wash off during long shifts in surf and sun. Dermasport also uses safe clean ingredients that doesn't irritate the skin.
