Barnängen MAN Frisk Mjällschampo — origin, manufacturing and ownership

Barnängen MAN Frisk Mjällschampo is a deodorizing, ginger‑extract dandruff shampoo formulated for men and sold under the Barnängen brand. The product is positioned as a vegan, dermatologically tested dandruff shampoo that contains piroctone olamine and ginger extract to refresh and reduce flaking.

Brand origin

Barnängen is a historic Swedish personal‑care brand that traces its roots to Barnängens Tekniska Fabrik (founded in the 19th century). The brand originated in Sweden and has long been associated with toiletries and soap products on the Swedish market.

Manufacturing

Today Barnängen products are produced within Henkel’s European manufacturing and distribution network. Many Barnängen SKUs are primarily manufactured for Nordic markets and historically have been produced in Sweden, but production can also take place at other Henkel facilities in Europe depending on SKU, batch and logistics — therefore the product is best described as primarily produced in Sweden, but also produced in other locations.

Ownership and corporate structure

Barnängen is owned by Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, a Germany‑headquartered multinational that manages a portfolio of beauty and household brands. Henkel operates regional subsidiaries (for example Henkel Norden AB / Henkel Sverige) that handle local marketing, registration, and distribution in the Nordic markets.

Practical notes

• The photographed bottle is the Barnängen MAN Frisk Mjällschampo (ginger extract) — a men’s dandruff shampoo.
• The packaging commonly sold in Sweden and on Nordic retail sites lists Barnängen as the brand; retail product listings show ingredient details and vegan labeling but do not always declare a single fixed country of manufacture on the consumer product page. For precise country‑of‑manufacture for a specific bottle, check the back‑label ‘manufactured in’ statement or batch marking on that specific package.
