DAP products are formulated with barrier integrity as a priority.

Rather than relying on aggressive actives or high concentrations, we focus on balance, compatibility, and restraint. This approach makes our formulations suitable for most skin types, including skin that becomes reactive with overuse or environmental stress.

As with all skincare, individual sensitivity can vary.

We recommend: 1) Nova Cleansing Oil to remove makeup and SPF, 2) Your regular water-based cleanser if double-cleansing, 3) Silkdrop Hydrating Serum on damp skin, 4) Your moisturizer and SPF. The Velvet Touch Hand Balm can be used throughout the day as needed.

Small-batch means we produce our products in limited quantities—hand-filled in our Sydney studio. This ensures maximum freshness, quality control at every step, and the artisanal care that mass production simply cannot provide. Each bottle is crafted with intention.

Absolutely. DAP Skincare is 100% cruelty-free—we never test on animals, and neither do our ingredient suppliers. Most of our products are also vegan-friendly. The Velvet Touch Hand Balm contains ethically-sourced shea butter, which is vegetarian but derived from plant sources.
