ACO Canoderm

ACO Canoderm is a well-known medicinal skincare product originally from Sweden. The brand ACO (Apotekens Composita) was founded in 1939 by the Swedish Pharmaceutical Society as a way to standardize pharmaceutical preparations. Canoderm, a urea-based (karbamid) cream used for treating dry skin and eczema, is one of its most prominent clinical products.

Today, the brand is owned by Perrigo Company plc, a global healthcare supplier headquartered in Ireland. While the brand has deep Swedish roots and maintains its strongest market presence in the Nordics, manufacturing for these clinical dermatological products often takes place in specialized facilities in Denmark. The brand remains a staple in Swedish pharmacies, bridging the gap between cosmetic skincare and pharmaceutical treatment.
