Dermatologist-created, biodegradable, vegan
| Ingredient transparency | Full ingredient list read and categorised |
| Ownership | Founded in 2015 by board certified dermatologist Dr. Heather D. Rogers, who remains founder and CEO; she is also co-owner of Modern Dermatology, her separate clinical practice. The brand is self funded and independently owned, with no acquisition found. It was rebranded from Doctor Rogers Restore to Doctor Rogers Skin Care in late 2023 with a packaging redesign, and continues trading as of 2026 through its own site and retailers including Dermstore. |
| Where made | USA, in an FDA registered facility whose location and operator are not named. |
| Cruelty free | Yes |
| Vegan | Yes |
| Organic | Partial |
| Certifications | PETA's cruelty-free listing is confirmed directly on the certifier's own page, which states in unqualified terms, Yes, Doctor Rogers is cruelty-free, and that neither ingredients nor finished products are tested on animals by the company, its suppliers or third parties. No Leaping Bunny listing was found: the brand's own FAQ page claims cruelty-free status but does not itself cite Leaping Bunny, and no matching brand page exists in that certifier's directory. The brand's certified hypoallergenic claim is not a recognised third party certification from any of the standard beauty registers; it refers to the company's own repeat insult patch testing protocol rather than a public certifying body. |
| Sold in mainland China | No public disclosure found; the brand is PETA certified vegan and cruelty free. |
| Palm oil | No public disclosure found. |
| Good On You | No Good On You rating found. |
| EWG | Carries the EWG VERIFIED mark on products, and items such as the Restore Healing Balm are also rated in EWG Skin Deep. |
| External ratings | Certified hypoallergenic; Credo Clean |
| Controversies | No controversy found. |
| Caveat | Still trading and founder led by dermatologist Dr Heather D. Rogers, but packaging has moved from aluminium to 50% PCR monomaterial plastic tubes, so any historic plastic free framing no longer applies. |
| Reports note | <p>Derm-founded; healing claims not published</p> |
Claims made for this brand that could not be confirmed in a certifier's own register. A brand website is a claim, not a source.
Certified hypoallergenic should not be presented as equivalent to a third party certification such as Leaping Bunny or COSMOS; it describes an internal or contracted lab testing protocol, not a public register entry. No Leaping Bunny claim should be published, since no certifier page for the brand was found.

Why there is no score: Partial read. No score is published. Ingredient lists were obtained for 13 of 17 products, 76 percent of the catalogue. The other 4 products publish no ingredient list that could be read. A percentage drawn from part of a catalogue is not a figure for the range, so none is shown.

We analysed 13 Doctor Rogers products, categorising every listed ingredient by function, origin (raw natural, naturally derived or synthetic) and safety concern. This is not the whole catalogue, so it is reported as a partial read. Percentages show the share of each formula that is natural or naturally derived.
Most common flags: parabens, silicones, mineral oil, petrolatum
