OUR PHILOSOPHY
CLINCALLY DRIVEN
Created by dermatologist, cosmetic surgeon and clinical professor Dr. Jaggi Rao MD, FRCPC (Dermatology) and his partner Dr. Namita Rao MD, the ēcōMD brand stems from their lifetime commitment to improve skin health and wellness in a safe, non-toxic and environmentally respectful way.
The ēcōMD line is particularly characterized by its exceptionally high concentrations of active ingredients used to successfully address virtually all aspects of skin health – cleansing, hydration, restoration, nourishment and protection.
Formerly available exclusively to dermatologists, medispas and skincare professionals, the entire family of ēcōMD products is now available for direct purchase in our online store.
WHY OUR PRODUCTS?
TOXIN-FREE
We develop safe, non-toxic formulas.
NATURALLY SOURCED
We source clean, plant-based ingredients.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
We use sustainable, recyclable packaging.
CLEAN. SAFE. EFFECTIVE.
From nicotine to thalidomide and asbestos, our society has far too often been ravaged by well-meaning but ultimately extremely damaging substances.
Even today, far too many personal care products – including cosmetics – contain chemicals like parabens (preservatives) and phthalates (plasticizers) that may not have been adequately tested. Of particular concern are substances containing endocrine disruptors (EDCs), which mimic hormones and can cause problems with reproduction, brain health, development and immunity. Since 2016, scientists have identified 15 probable associations between EDCs and human health. Evidence is particularly strong with regard to relations between perfluoroalkyl substances (used in everyday products ranging from stain-resistant carpets to anti-sticking cookware) and child and adult obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, gestational diabetes, reduced birth weight, reduced semen quality, polycystic ovarian syndrome, endometriosis, and breast cancer.
For very good reasons, we have been exceptionally mindful about what goes into our ēcōMD line of clean, conscious skincare products.
Our commitment to safety and our tried-and-true preservative system is your assurance that every product is clean and toxin-free. Our packaging is similarly health-aware and protective of the environment.

About Dr. Namita Rao

About Dr. Jaggi Rao
IN DEVELOPING OUR ēcōMD LINE OF PRODUCTS, WE HAVE BEEN GUIDED BY A STRONG PRINCIPLE
Modern cosmetology and dermatology have been far too complacent about safety concerns surrounding mass-produced skin care products.
As we have seen, it can take a full generation to expose potential toxins, carcinogens and other latent health dangers. By using only top-quality naturally occurring compounds to the extent possible, and by eliminating any known or suspected toxins, we are minimizing the risk and maximizing the benefits of all our products. We think no one deserves less.
