Sebamed USA Information

Skin care is a basic human need: it starts with cleanliness. Besides the hygienic function, washing has also an integrative social role in modern society. Thus, it has seemingly become a self-evident necessity in everyday life. This fact poses considerable problems for a large group of people. The result was the market introduction of Sebamed Cleansing Bar in 1968. This created a new category, in which sebamed is still the market leader after more than 30 years: medicinal skin care. While initially only persons with skin problems benefitted from this innovation, which rendered the soap prohibition obsolete, an altered view on skin care developed with time within the whole population. Skin care as a means of keeping the skin healthy and prevent skin diseases is coming increasingly into focus. Additionally a growing number of people encounter skin problems as an untoward side effect of the regular use of increasing amounts of products which impair or damage the physiological skin functions. The company’s principle QUALITY THROUGH RESEARCH which has been the foundation of sebamed products from the very beginning, finds its expression also in the large number of scientific publications which are summarized in this brochure to give the reader an objective impression of the performance of medicinal skin care with sebamed products.
