Environmental Commitment
Our Environmental Commitment
At Harken Derm, we believe skincare should protect more than just your skin. It should protect the ecosystems that sustain us — especially the oceans we call home.
Founded by a dermatologist and shaped by a deep connection to the sea, our brand is built on a simple principle: performance and environmental care must go hand in hand.
Why We Care
We’ve seen firsthand the damage that irresponsible skincare can do — to coral reefs, marine life, and the planet. Chemical sunscreens that wash off into the water. Packaging that clogs beaches. Wipes that never biodegrade. We knew there had to be a better way.
So we built one.
What We’re Doing
- Reef-Safe, Mineral-Only Sunscreens: No oxybenzone, no octinoxate, no harmful filters — ever.
- Biodegradable Face Wipes: Made from bamboo. Compostable. Gentle on skin. Gentle on the planet.
- Recycled Buffs: Our neckwear is made from post-consumer plastic bottles — giving ocean waste a second life.
- No Over-Packaging: Every decision is intentional — no excess cartons, no unnecessary inserts.
More Than Products
We don’t stop at packaging. Harken Derm actively supports coral reef preservation and ocean conservation through our nonprofit arm and partnerships. We’re building long-term solutions — not just eco-marketing claims.
And we’re committed to continuing this work. Improving. Reducing our footprint. Expanding our impact. Every season. Every product. Every decision.
Our Pledge
We’re here to set a higher standard for what skincare can be — not just for your skin, but for the planet. Our commitment is ongoing. Our values are non-negotiable. And our goal is simple:
Save Our Sailors. Save Our Skin. Save Our Seas.
