A New Realm of Skincare is Coming: Dermata Teases New OTC Brand Identity

SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / December 4, 2025 / Dermata Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:DRMA)(NASDAQ:DRMAW) (“Dermata” or the “Company”), a science-driven leader in dermatologic solutions, today announced that it will soon reveal its new brand name for its over-the-counter (“OTC”) skincare business representing its evolution toward a more direct, science-first era of dermatologic innovation. While the name remains confidential until the formal unveiling, the Company is offering a first look at the mission and essence driving this new identity-one created specifically for the community of skincare consumers who expect more from their products, their science, and the companies behind them.

On a mission to forge a new realm of skincare that is powerful, not punishing.

Dermata’s mission is to redefine what’s possible in dermatology by melding ancestral wisdom with scientific innovation to create an entirely new approach to the category. Dermata wants to empower people to experience a new form of potency that never comes at the expense of health and wellbeing.

Their mission serves as the foundation for the new brand name and its accompanying visual and verbal expression. Dermata’s therapies, technologies, and product experiences will be framed through a lens that is honest, confident, and uncompromisingly rooted in quantifiable performance.

Built for the curious.

Today’s sophisticated skincare consumer is no longer content with passive routines or vague promises. They blend clinical rigor with experiential intuition; they understand mechanisms as deeply as they appreciate textures; they seek solutions that are timeless and cutting edge to unleash a new realm of possibilities. Dermata plans to target these consumers who have a deep curiosity to research the products they are putting on their skin. They are mature adopters who want to know how the product works, what are the ingredients, and what are the results.

Dermata’s new brand identity was shaped with these curious individuals in mind. It speaks to a generation that asks better questions, demands better answers, and expects better science, similar to how Dermata was built.

With products that deliver exponential results.

Dermata aims to develop a line of products that are essential for an effective skincare routine. They believe that in a world filled with treatments that overcomplicate and underdeliver, incorporating their Spongilla technology will challenge and reshape how consumers care for their skin. The Company plans to accomplish this by creating products that are efficient, effective, and make every other part of a skincare routine work better.

Dermata wants consumers to feel the difference when using their products that amplify their skincare routine.

A name that embodies this ambition.

While Dermata is keeping the brand name confidential ahead of its official reveal, the Company hints that the name captures:

• Time-tested remedies

• Perpetual innovation

• Belief that true skin transformation begins with purposeful science

The reveal is expected to signal the beginning of a new chapter-one defined by stronger consumer alignment, clearer product differentiation, and a sharpened narrative around innovation.

Looking ahead.

Dermata will unveil the new brand name and identity in the coming weeks. Additional information, including visual assets, product positioning, and launch-phase communications, will be shared over the coming months. The Company plans to launch its first OTC once-weekly acne kit in the middle of 2026.
