Bepanthen Wund- und Heilsalbe 20 g

Brand origin, manufacturing and ownership

Bepanthen is a long‑standing wound‑healing skincare brand originally launched in 1944 and historically associated with Roche; the brand has been led by Bayer since the mid‑2000s after Bayer acquired Roche’s consumer‑health business. (bepanthen.co.uk)

Manufacture of many Bepanthen topical products (including the familiar 20 g tube) takes place at Bayer’s Grenzach site in Germany (GP Grenzach Produktions GmbH), which produces, fills and packages Bepanthen ointments for national and international distribution. (bayer.com)

Today Bepanthen is marketed globally under Bayer’s consumer health portfolio; Bayer AG (headquartered in Leverkusen, Germany) is the ultimate owner and manages regional distribution through its local subsidiaries and distribution partners. The product pictured (light‑blue Bepanthen 20 g tube/box) is the standard wound‑healing/dexpanthenol ointment commonly sold over the counter in pharmacies. (bepanthen.me)
