Science & Practical Tips by Duolab
FAQ
Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our skincare system, cosmetic active ingredients, and eco-responsible refills.
Are your formulas "clean"?
All Duolab formulas follow a strict charter: fragrance-free, silicone-free, free from controversial ingredients, and with a maximum of naturally derived ingredients.
97% naturally derived ingredients in our 4 main treatments.
Yuka score: 86%
Where are Duolab treatments developed and produced?
All our treatments are created and produced in Switzerland. We control every step from formulation to capsule production, allowing us to guarantee full traceability.
Why single-dose format instead of a traditional jar or tube?
The single-dose format is at the core of our proprietary technology — it's the only way to effectively protect active ingredients from any degradation or oxidation.
Each capsule hermetically seals the active ingredients, ensuring zero light exposure and no contact with air. This means that with every application, the active ingredients are 100% effective.
In a traditional jar, oxidation begins the moment it's opened. A retinol in a jar can lose up to 80% of its concentration within six months at 25°C (PubMed data). In a Duolab dose, every active ingredient retains 100% of its potency until application. This is what drives the visible, immediate performance of our treatments.
This format also allows Duolab treatments to be stored for up to 3 years unopened with no loss of efficacy, while a traditional jar lasts 6 to 12 months maximum after opening.
How long can I keep my Duolab skincare products after purchase?
Up to 3 years, as long as the dose remains sealed.
Duolab doses perfectly preserve the active ingredients. You can keep them without any concern about loss of efficacy.
Once the dose is opened, we recommend using the contents within the following hour.
Why add the Minilab to my skincare routine?
The Minilab is a device that creates a fresh cosmetic emulsion on the spot, just before application.
This freshly prepared emulsion promotes optimal absorption of active ingredients by the skin.
The Minilab is therefore an essential step in ensuring the high quality of Duolab treatments.
Why 2 capsules to make one Duolab treatment?
At Duolab, each active ingredient is stored in the environment best suited to it, in order to fully preserve its stability and efficacy.
That's why our system relies on two separate capsules: one contains a water-based phase, the other an oil-based phase.
Mixed and emulsified only at the moment of application, they release the full power of the active ingredients for optimal efficacy.
How does Minilab maintenance and repair work?
In the event of a technical malfunction, the Minilab must be returned to DuoLab for analysis and repair. A replacement Minilab will be provided as quickly as possible to ensure continuity of your DuoLab experience.
In the event of damage resulting from misuse, accident, or deterioration unrelated to a technical defect, repair or replacement costs may be charged to the customer.
