Serums & Essences – Ampoules or Pipette Bottles?

Our active ingredient serums and essences are available in 5 ml and 15 ml pipette bottles. Why did we consciously decide against the more marketing-driven ampoule format?

Our short conclusion up front:

Ampoules are unbeatable in terms of hygiene per application – but they are less practical, more expensive, and thermal end-sterilization often disadvantages heat-sensitive active ingredients such as Vitamin C or peptides.
Pipette bottles are more practical for everyday use and offer several advantages:

  • Gentler on sensitive active ingredients: cold-filled

  • Reusable: no product residues that need to be disposed of

  • More sustainable: less packaging waste, less complex manufacturing and filling

  • Practical and safe: no risk of injury as with breaking ampoules

  • Prerequisite: an intelligent formulation, high-quality packaging, and hygienic application

Products for skincare professionals

Derma SR was primarily developed for professional estheticians and beauty institutes. For this target group – as for ourselves – working hygienically is a given. That’s why we focused our packaging design primarily on protecting active ingredients and enabling sustainable use of our products.

Sterility, hygiene, and preservation

Ampoules are perfectly protected by their airtight sealing. Each application is performed with a fresh product – hygienic and safe. Instead, we rely on preservation-smart formulations:

  • Pentylene Glycol reduces microbial load and acts as a natural "preservative booster."

  • Our products pass stress tests even without traditional preservatives.

In addition, we trust in the professional handling of our customers, who avoid direct skin contact with the pipette.

Summary

We have deliberately chosen pipette bottles because they are the best solution for our customers, both for product-specific and target group-oriented reasons.
