Our Story
The short
Derme Home is a sustainable startup based in South Florida. Veteran, women, and family-owned and operated by the founders Josefine and Fredye. We solved the problem of dirty bedding contributing to acne, poor sleep, and odors in an eco-friendly manner. By providing 100% organic bamboo bedding bonded with silver ions, we support skin health and the overall quality of life while giving back to our global community. Our vision is to provide the most beneficial bedding to the market with the consciousness of Mother Earth. Derme Home wants to lead by example with the hopes of inspiring not only our consumers but also fellow businesses to live and breathe more green.The long
Derme Home was born in the middle of the pandemic; it is our "pandemic baby." With stress levels going up, mask-mandate implemented, and sanitation being the number one priority, many people, including ourselves, experienced "mascne," acne, "bacne," and other skin-related diminishes. Months of research and fabric samples later, we finally created the perfect material, clinically proven to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria from the fabric surface. Within two weeks, the results were significant. Our skin has never been healthier, and the fabric has genuinely been a life-changing factor in our lives.
The best part? Our solution is permanent. To us, it was imperative not to use any "dye-treatment" for our silver ions. The antibacterial benefits of our silver ions will remain effective throughout the product's lifetime, not being washed away or leaking into the environment.
Derme Home is only the beginning of our global movement towards a cleaner planet. In 2020, we ventured out to Uganda, Africa, which inspired our vision further towards environmentally friendly solutions. Upon the growth of Derme Home, we are hoping to gain the resources needed in order to bring our additional projects to life, solving the problem of single-use plastic being one of them and supporting our local community of rural women in Uganda, even further.
Hi, we are Fredye & Josefine!
Thank you for considering Derme Home for your Home. We appreciate your support more than you’ll know. Here is a little background to what sparked Derme Home in the first place.
The when
Derme Home is our verison of a “pandemic baby.” It was early 2020 and the mask-mandate was in full motion. I (Josefine) was working full time along with being a full time student in pursuit of my MBA. This became a very stressful time in my life, and although I did not feel stressed, my skin showed signs loud and clear. I went from having no worries in the world in regards to my skin, to becoming absolutely obsessed. I developed painful cystic acne on both sides of my face, and it destroyed my confidence and identity for years. Looking back at these photos, I can almost feel how insecure I was.
The why
I did like many others in my situation – went down the rabbit hole of the internet. I desperately tried every “anti-acne” product and pill I could get my hands on. My dermatologists at the time prescribed me with spironolactone and strong topical creams in hopes of getting ride of my stubborn acne. I made it my mission to get my skin back to whay it once was. I was tired of hiding my skin under layers of make-up, I had enough.
The inspiration
Fredye started his entrepreneurial journey and traveled to Africa, Uganda, to find eco-friendly solutions to single use plastic straws. He meet with local farmers that harvested grass and crafted them into straws. He taught them how to create paper from banana plants. We both became very inspired by his experience in Uganda and we decided to follow this passion and establish a eco-friendly company of our own here in the USA.
The solution
Now we know that we want to...
1) Find a remedy for acne prone skin
2) We want to make is as eco-friendly as we possibly can
Two years later, I had mastered all of the trials and errors of acne, and instead of “getting rid of” my acne, I learned how to accept that I have acne-prone skin, and how to take care of it with the most amount of love. I realized quickly in my journey that my pillowcase was a major trigger for my skin (I learned this because I tended to breakout in the mornings on the side I was sleeping on), so I either swapped side of my pillowcase, or I would change it completely every night. I never slept on the same surface twice – knowing how much bacteria build up is occurring after only 8 hours of contact.
Even if this method helped sooth my skin tremendously, and my morning breakouts was tamed, I realized quickly that this is not sustainable for the environment or our electricity bill. Not to mention, the amount of time it took to constantly wash my set of pillowcases. So, we did some research of how to make pillowcases skincare friendly, and stumbled onto the technology of silver ions. Months of research, hundred of samples, lab tests and certifications later – we found the perfect formula for my skin that we were finally ready to share with the rest of the world. The rest is history.
