Barnängen is a classic Swedish brand with heritage dating back to 1868, famously known for its high-quality soaps and being a Purveyor to the Royal Court of Sweden. Originally established at Barnängen in Stockholm, the brand has become synonymous with authentic Swedish skincare tailored for the whole family.

While the brand's heart remains in Sweden, its ownership has transitioned over the decades to large multinational corporations. Historically part of Marabou and later Nobel Industries, it was acquired by the German consumer goods giant Henkel in the 1990s. Today, Henkel remains the ultimate owner, often producing Barnängen products in their European manufacturing facilities, particularly in Germany, while maintaining the brand's distinct Swedish identity and formulations.
