DIME’s approach to clean skincare is simple: use effective, non-toxic skincare ingredients that are gentle on skin and thoughtfully chosen for long-term results. In this guide, we break down what “clean ingredients” means for our formulas and how to build a routine with vegan and cruelty-free essentials without sacrificing performance. Our vegan, non-comedogenic formulas are powered by squalane, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid—designed to be gentle on sensitive skin while remaining big on performance.
