Sanex is a well-known personal care brand founded in 1984 by the Sara Lee Corporation, originally launching in Spain. It gained prominence for being one of the first brands to offer soap-free body cleansers specifically formulated to maintain skin health. Over the decades, the brand's ownership has transitioned through major global conglomerates; it was acquired by Unilever in 2009 and subsequently sold to Colgate-Palmolive in 2011 following European Commission anti-trust requirements.
Today, Sanex is a key brand within the Colgate-Palmolive portfolio, primarily focused on the European and South African markets. The Biome Protect range represents the brand's modern focus on microbiome health, using prebiotic complexes to support the skin's natural barrier. While the brand has deep roots in Spain and is headquartered under Colgate-Palmolive in the United States, its products are manufactured across multiple locations globally to serve various regional markets.
