Founded by chiropractor and cancer survivor Dr. Doris Dalton, Doll 10 Beauty makes doctor-developed makeup and skincare that pair complexion coverage with skin-focused formulas. The brand’s Peptide Bounce Balm and Liquid Filter exemplify its approach: practical, multitasking beauty products built with clinically backed ingredients rather than simply layered over the skin. Doll 10’s formulas are cruelty-free and intentionally clean, with products dermatologist tested and made without parabens or sulfates.
