Barnängen Kakao Creme & Olja Duschcreme

Owner:Henkel AG & Co. KGaA (Germany)
OriginSweden
Manufactured:Germany

Barnängen is one of Sweden’s most iconic personal care brands, founded in 1868 by wholesaler Johan Wilhelm Holmström in Stockholm. The brand became a household name following the launch of its legendary bar soap in 1873, which earned the brand a Royal Warrant from the Swedish court in 1876. To this day, the brand maintains its 'Lagom' philosophy, focusing on balanced skincare inspired by Nordic nature.

While the brand is deeply rooted in Swedish heritage and designed in Sweden, its mass-market manufacturing is now integrated into a global supply chain. Most Barnängen products, including this Kakao Duschcreme, are primarily manufactured at the production facilities of its parent company in Germany. This allows the brand to combine its traditional Swedish formulas with advanced research and large-scale distribution.

Since 1992, the brand has been under the ownership of the German consumer goods giant Henkel. Henkel officially acquired Barnängen as part of its Beauty Care division, ensuring the brand's long-term growth across the Nordic and wider European markets. Today, the brand remains a staple in Swedish bathrooms, emphasizing vegan-friendly ingredients and natural origins.
