For more than a century Beiersdorf, the company behind Eucerin, has been associated with groundbreaking innovation in skin care formulas. From the beginning, research and product development at Eucerin has been inseparable from dermatological research.

The foundation of Eucerin

Founder of Beiersdorf – Paul C. Beiersdorf
Every Eucerin product is based on intensive research and close collaboration between pharmacists and dermatologists - right from the beginning.

The brand’s origins are in a pharmacy, that of Paul C. Beiersdorf in Hamburg.

In 1882 Paul C. Beiersdorf applied for a patent for a new type of medical dressing and in so doing founded the Beiersdorf Company. Eight years later, he sold the business to fellow pharmacist Oscar Troplowitz who began to manufacture products under the Beiersdorf brand name. Close cooperation with pioneering dermatologist Paul Gerson Unna meant that these products were inspired by and based on the very latest research of skin.

This combination of research and development runs through our history, right up to the present day.

It means that every one of our products is both scientifically relevant and proven for tolerability and efficacy, providing you with reliable solutions for different kinds of skin issues and problems.
