About DermaXiX — Cosmetic Manufacturing in South Africa
Established in 2009, DermaXiX began by building market awareness with imported formulations. By 2011 the focus shifted decisively to local skills, formulations and manufacture. Partnering with the IDC, the first phase of manufacturing capacity was installed — and with a substantial off-take by the Peermont Group, a firm distribution was born.
Aligning economic freedom with social development and sustainability.
We leverage local expertise, intellectual property, skills and government incentives to deliver long-term profitability — while addressing the country's challenges through employment creation and broad social upliftment.
