Ducray Dermatological Care

Ducray is a pioneering French dermo-cosmetic brand that traces its roots back to 1930. It was founded by Albert Ducray, a hairdresser's son who revolutionized hair care by creating the 'Lik Savon'—the first individual-sized, pH-balanced liquid shampoos for medical use. This innovation moved the market away from harsh powdered soaps towards specialized physiological solutions for various scalp conditions.

Today, the brand is a staple in pharmacies worldwide, known for its rigorous scientific approach to treating dermatological issues such as acne, eczema, hair loss, and psoriasis. Most of the brand’s research and manufacturing occur in the Occitanie region of France, maintaining a strong connection to its heritage of French pharmaceutical expertise.

Ducray is owned by Pierre Fabre Laboratories, a leading pharmaceutical and cosmetic group established by pharmacist Pierre Fabre. The laboratory is unique in its ownership structure, as it is largely owned by a government-recognized public interest foundation (The Pierre Fabre Foundation), ensuring a long-term focus on medical and skin health rather than purely short-term financial gains.
