A commitment to exceptional and scientifically proven skincare

Sebamed commits itself to creating pH-balanced skin care products that have been clinically-tested and dermatologically recommended in order to support the treatment of sensitive and problematic skin. Let’s delve into this a little further and find out how sebamed products are created and formulated, the benefits of the ingredients that are used as well as scientific studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of sebamed.

How Sebamed products are formulated

Science led skincare

Since the beginning, sebamed has always had a unique product philosophy in creating pH-balanced skin care products that promote healthy skin without harm or irritation. One of the key focuses is on the skin’s natural pH level and the importance of maintaining a healthy skin barrier. This philosophy is based on scientific research and works alongside three quality criterias; proven skin tolerability, carefully selected raw materials and consistent quality control.

  • Proven Skin Tolerability

    The majority of skin care products that are available typically have a pH level of 8 - 14, however a pH level this alkaline can often strip the skin of its natural oils and protective barrier, leading to problematic skin. What makes sebamed unique is that the products are specially formulated to have a pH value of 5.5, which is the same acidity level as the skin’s hydrolipid barrier which supports your skin’s acid mantle leading to healthy skin. All products are soap-free and alkaline-free, which means they do not contain harsh chemicals or fragrances making them suitable for sensitive and problematic skin.

    Carefully Selected Raw Materials

    To ensure safety and efficacy, our team of scientists come from the field of dermatology and oversee our product development, including research with over 400 clinical trials. They carefully select raw materials based on their quality and allergenic potential, choosing near-natural products, with tried-and-tested active agents and formulations that have scientifically proven positive effects on the skin. For instance, Panthenol, a derivative of vitamin B5 helps to attract and retain moisture in the skin. All our products have been clinically-tested and recommended by dermatologists as a pH-balanced skin care product designed for sensitive and problematic skin. To test the purity, identity and concentration of ingredients, as well as the amount of individual substances within the finished product, our analysis department is equipped with high-tech and modern tools such as HPLC and GC units.

Consistent Quality Control

Delivering trusted products

Our microbiology department uses state-of-the-art laboratory equipment to ensure the safety of our products from microbiological contamination. We carefully test how much preservatives we need in our products through extensive testing, ensuring that we use as little as possible but as much as necessary. This is tested by repeatedly inoculating and incubating bacteria and fungi in our products, using just enough preservatives to prevent contamination.

Our philosophy ‘Quality through Research’ ensures the highest standards of quality control on all sebamed products. Every step of the process is strictly controlled and checked, from selecting raw materials to product development and production, using cutting-edge methodology and analysis to guarantee the purity and safety of all our products and ensuring they are all pH-balanced. To help with ensuring these high standards, our quality assurance department strictly checks every ingredient and packaging material to ensure it is perfect - no skin care product is allowed to leave the premises without a release from the quality assurance department.
