Our mission

Back in the days, our founder Dr. Heinz Maurer provoked the experts with one sentence: "People have been washing themselves incorrectly for 2,000 years."

At Sebapharma, we consider it our mission to promote human skin health. Our sebamed brand with a pH of 5.5, which, unlike conventional soap, supports the skin’s natural protective layer and keeps the skin’s microbiome in balance. This protects the skin much better against dehydration and harmful environmental influences while keeping it healthy.

We have been successful with sebamed for more than half a century and have an excellent reputation as a global player and driver of innovation in medicinal skin care. For us and our products, outstanding skin compatibility and continuous research into innovative formulations always take centre stage.

Made in Germany

As a global leader in the field of medicinal skin and body care, Sebapharma has always seen it as its duty and responsibility to rely exclusively on German production locations. This enables us to consistently guarantee the three central quality features of our products: safety through proven skin compatibility, the highest quality raw materials and consistent, end-to-end quality control.

sebamed

With the wide range of sebamed medicinal skin care products, every skin and hair type can be gently cleansed and optimally cared for from head to toe. With a pH of 5.5, all products are adapted to the acidic environment of the skin, helping to keep it healthy in the long term. Exceptions: all urea products in the dry skin range, the intimate wash lotion and intimate wash gel as well as the lip balm.

tensimed

The tensimed brand combines good quality with an attractive price. All products are based on the natural moisturising substance aloe vera and also have a skin-healthy pH of 5.5.

TESTAmed

With its DIABETES CARE and DIAGNOSTICS product groups, TESTAmed® offers a selected range of measuring devices and rapid tests based on the latest medical quality standards and scientific findings. Available in drugstores and pharmacies.

Our locations

Boppard / Bad Salzig

Our head office is in Bad Salzig, which belongs to the town of Boppard. A place of historical importance and unique scenic charm, picturesquely situated on the banks of the Middle Rhine. Our modern administration building, built in 1984, and central research and development departments are located here. Sebapharma GmbH & Co. KG is continuously developing the site and its buildings in line with new and its own requirements.

Pfalzfeld

In 2021/2022, Sebapharma set up its own production facility in Pfalzfeld in the German Hunsrück region to ensure the independent production of sebamed products in the long term. In July 2023, the production site was certified by the pharmaceutical authorities in accordance with the strict GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) guidelines. Currently, 33 of our employees work in Pfalzfeld, ensuring the smooth organisational and technical operation of the new plant.

Norderstedt

The takeover of the Rudolf Dankwardt GmbH production facility in Norderstedt near Hamburg is a decisive step for us in expanding our production capacities and reliably satisfying the increasing demand for sebamed products. There are currently 213 Sebapharma employees working in Norderstedt. Depending on demand, they work flexibly in 2 or 3 shifts.
