THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MATTER
Dot & Key was founded on the thinking that challenges the parameters of how we, the world and the industry evaluates beauty.

WE WON’T COMPROMISE,
AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU
When we say we develop highly targeted remedial products, we mean it. From the ingredients, to the textural experience, we’re making sure that it’s all closely monitored, formulated and repeatedly tested. We simply won’t launch a product if it does not live up to a very high standard of quality and efficacy.

BRINGING THE ‘CARE’
BACK TO SKINCARE
Our nature-forward approach to formulation ensures our ingredients and actives are in their most natural skin-friendly usable form. We take every precaution to eliminate anything that has the smallest chance to adversely affect your body and our environment. Every one of our products are tested clinically to ensure 100% dermatological safety.
WORKING TOWARDS A
BEAUTIFUL TOMORROW
We do not use ingredients which will hinder the longevity of our natural resources, or harm our furry friends - be it their habitats or the animals themselves. We’ve also started a recycling programme for our containers. It’s the little things that matter, and every little effort can count positively towards saving our planet.

CONSUMER RESEARCH &
NEED FULFILMENT
We always have our ear to the ground listening to consumer needs, and feed that to our team of skilled chemists who then work on new product ideas, new solutions, research on blends, cutting edge technology and creating prototypes.
![Testing & validation](http://www.dotandkey.com/cdn/shop/t/1170/assets/Testing-validation.jpg?v=96291345747492281441711003174)
TESTING & VALIDATION
We’re unaffected by trends because we launch new products only in response to genuine unaddressed needs expressed by our customers. And only after extensive research, do we deliver formulations of the highest quality and safety. All our products released only after a high performance grading standard is met.

INGREDIENT & MATERIAL ASSESSMENT
We like to be ahead of the curve, both in the technology we use and the science we incorporate. Our ingredients are sourced from the most reputed suppliers with all the necessary compliances verified and checked. As a result, our products promise to always be innovative, gentle-to-use and have the lowest impact on the environment.

PACKAGING
Making everyday beautiful matters to us; we design to inspire little joys. However, our packaging development isn’t just pretty to look at. We are mindful of its composition as well, focusing on inks and materials that are environmentally responsible and eliminating materials of concern.
