Twenty years ago, while cross country skiing in Sweden, owner/founder Ric Nelson met a local pharmacist who had developed a unique formula to protect the skin from Sweden's harsh cold, wind, and sun. The skin protection formula was so effective, that Ric bought the rights to the formula, quit his corporate job, and launched Dermatone. Dermatone skin products encompass a total range of sunblock products to meet the challenges of everything from arctic weather to tropical climates.
