Fissan Personal Care

Fissan is a historical brand deeply rooted in European pharmaceutical and cosmetic history. It was originally founded in Germany in 1924 by Arthur Sauer, who developed a laboratory specifically focused on the care of delicate skin, particularly for infants. The brand name itself is derived from the Latin phrase 'fissuram sane', which translates to 'healing the crack' or 'healing the skin', reflecting its original purpose as a medicated ointment for skin irritations.

Over the decades, Fissan achieved massive success, particularly in the Italian market, where it became a household staple for baby hygiene. The brand's ownership has transitioned through major global conglomerates. Currently, Fissan is owned by Unilever, a British multinational corporation. Today, the brand encompasses a wide variety of products beyond its classic paste, including powders, soaps, and specialized lotions. While it maintains its strong association with its German origins and Italian manufacturing legacy, its distribution and strategic direction are managed from the United Kingdom.
