Clinical Studies
Clinical Studies & Dermatological Validation
At Harken Derm, science is not a marketing angle — it’s our foundation. Every product is developed by a dermatologist and built on a bedrock of clinical research, ingredient studies, and field testing in real-world conditions.
We focus on one thing: creating formulas that truly protect and restore skin — especially for people with elevated risk, sensitive skin, or extreme sun exposure. From high-performance sunscreens to antioxidant repair blends, every product we release is grounded in evidence, not guesswork.
Ingredient-Based Clinical Support
- Zinc Oxide & Titanium Dioxide: Extensively studied as safe, non-irritating mineral UV filters that provide broad-spectrum protection and help reduce the risk of skin cancer — without hormone disruption or reef damage.
- Antioxidants (Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and Botanical Extracts): Clinically proven to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation caused by UV exposure and pollution — supporting long-term skin resilience.
- Barrier-Reinforcing Actives: Ingredients like ceramides and plant-based emollients have been shown to increase hydration, reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and improve overall barrier integrity by up to 30% within two weeks of use.
Real-World Performance Testing
We don’t just test in controlled environments — we test in salt spray, sun glare, sweat, and endurance. Our All-Day-Stay™ sunscreen technology has been field-tested by Olympic sailors, long-distance runners, and outdoor workers across high-UV environments.
Product trials indicate that our sunscreen maintains its protective layer longer than standard formulations, and our Recovery Cream supports visible repair overnight — with up to 40% improvement in signs of inflammation and dehydration in early testing.
Ongoing Research Commitment
We’re actively collaborating with medical professionals and sports medicine dermatologists to expand clinical data across all product categories. Our aim is to produce third-party studies that continue to validate the skin recovery, antioxidant efficacy, and barrier support our users experience every day.
Until then, our rule is simple: no claims without science. No shortcuts. No compromises.
