Helosan Original ointment

Helosan is a classic Scandinavian skin care brand founded in 1947 by the Swedish pharmacist Carl-Erik Arve. It was originally developed as a moisturizing and protective ointment for cow udders in the agricultural sector, but its effectiveness on dry, sensitive skin made it a household staple for humans across the Nordic region.

Today, the brand is owned by Karo Healthcare, a Swedish pharmaceutical company. While the brand has Swedish roots, its manufacturing is primarily based in Denmark. It remains a popular choice for both people and animals due to its antiseptic properties and ability to soothe cracked or irritated skin.
