Ego DermAid Soft 1% Cream

DermAid Soft 1% Cream is a pharmacist-only medicine formulated for the treatment of skin irritations, such as dermatitis and eczema, specifically designed for sensitive skin. The brand, DermAid, is a prominent line of hydrocortisone treatments developed and manufactured in Australia by Ego Pharmaceuticals.

Ego Pharmaceuticals was founded in 1953 by chemist Gerald Oppenheim and his wife Rae, a nurse, in a home laboratory in Melbourne. Since its inception, the company has remained a family-owned and operated Australian enterprise, focused on creating specialist skincare solutions. The product is manufactured at the company's world-class facilities located in Braeside, Victoria, ensuring high quality control and local production standards.

Unlike many pharmaceutical brands globally, Ego Pharmaceuticals has maintained its independence and has not been acquired by larger multinational conglomerates. It continues to be owned by the Oppenheim family, making it an Australian success story in the global dermatological market.
