Goldwell Kerasilk hair care

Goldwell is a renowned professional hair care brand with a history dating back to 1948 in Germany. The Kerasilk line is one of its premium sub-brands, specifically engineered to provide high-performance hair transformation through keratin-based technologies. For several decades, Goldwell has been a staple in professional salons worldwide, known for its innovation in both color and hair health.

Originally founded by Hans Erich Dotter in Darmstadt, Germany, the company (Kao Germany GmbH) became part of the global Japanese consumer goods giant, Kao Corporation, in 1989. This partnership allowed the brand to expand its research and development capabilities, integrating Japanese precision with German hair science.

Today, Kerasilk remains a flagship luxury brand under the Kao Salon Division umbrella. While the brand's heritage and chemical engineering are rooted in Germany, manufacturing occurs in various Global regions to support international distribution, though many professional formulations continue to be produced in German facilities.
