SOS Lippen-Herpes-Gel

SOS Lippen-Herpes-Gel is a medical product specifically designed for the treatment of cold sores. It typically contains silicic acid (siliceous earth) or similar active ingredients that help dry out herpes blisters and limit the spread of the virus through physical protection and soothing properties. This product is a common staple in German pharmacies and drugstores, recognized for its accessibility and effectiveness in early-stage lip care.

The SOS brand is a German health and wellness brand that focuses on providing pharmacy-quality medical and health products to a broader consumer market. It is part of the WindStar Medical Group, a leading platform for health products in the non-pharmacy sector within German-speaking countries. WindStar Medical's strategy involves acquiring and developing brands that offer professional healthcare solutions in convenient retail formats.

Currently, the brand is owned by the WindStar Medical Group, which was acquired by OakTree Capital Management and subsequently by ProSiebenSat.1's investment arm, though it most recently became part of the portfolio of the Swiss-headquartered private equity firm Partners Group. This ownership structure ensures a strong distribution network across Europe, primarily focused on the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland).
