Sebamed values your skin

Surely, your skin is your most valuable asset and when it comes to taking care of it, there is nothing you will compromise on. But, did you know that your skin actually has a value? Yes! The human skin has a special feature: its surface is slightly acidic and on an average the pH value of the healthy skin is 5.5. The slightly acidic surface of the skin prevents loss of moisture, keeps it soft and supple. It promotes timely renewal of skin to maintain its youthful glow. It also keeps our skin infection-free since harmful microorganisms find it difficult to tolerate this acidic pH. Using skin care products which do not have a pH of 5.5 can alter the protective acidic mantle of your skin. This can cause long term damage as it depletes your skin of essential oils and other substances, leaving it open to infections. Eventually your skin is left looking dull, dry and aged. Sebamed is the only brand which ensures that your skin remains the way it is meant to be. Sebamed products have been developed by dermatologists to meet your skin's specific needs. They are ideal for all skin types including sensitive and problematic skin. Only Sebamed products have a pH value of 5.5 and they work without altering your skin's pH levels. This means you need not worry about side-effects and can look forward to a skin that is truly pHenomenal.

sebamed – a synonym for high-quality products

The recipe for success of the Boppard-based company Sebapharma GmbH & Co. KG is based on the consistent development of high-quality skin cleansing and care products, all of which are adjusted to the pH of 5.5, the pH of healthy skin, and meet the highest quality standards. This is monitored by means of a complete quality assurance system. Trust in the sebamed products and a sense of responsibility towards people are the constant driving forces behind ecological, economic and social sustainability throughout the entire value chain.

The basis of this success is the consistent implementation of three quality criteria

  • Safety through proven skin tolerabilit
  • Carefully selected raw materials
  • Consistent quality control

Guaranteed skin tolerance

Safety – what consumers expect from medicinal skin and hygiene products. Sebapharma meets this requirement by dermatologically testing the tolerability and efficacy of all products for different, individual skin requirements, even in the case of extreme sensitivity and problems. It is not without reason that the brand is regarded as THE specialist for sensitive, problematic skin: Skin tolerability begins at a pH of 5.5, the pH of healthy skin.

sebamed raw materials: carefully selected and efficient

Renowned scientists have been advising the company for decades in the areas of product development, research and studies. In this respect, particular attention is given to the choice of the raw materials, the quality of which is subjected to the most stringent test criteria. The company categorically rejects short-lived hypes and unsubstantiated, fancy trends in the cosmetic industry. When selecting the ingredients, it focuses on near-natural products, tried-and-tested active agents and formulations that have scientifically proven, positive effects on the skin.

Origin, quality, purity – without allergenic potential

The recipe is simple: Quality above all else! This maxim is the benchmark for the entire production process. It begins with purchasing the raw materials, where not only the origin, quality and purity are taken into account but also that they have the lowest possible allergenic potential. For this reason, all sebamed products exhibit excellent tolerability and efficacy, especially in terms of basic hygiene, prevention and promoting healing processes, particularly for sensitive, damaged or diseased skin
