La Roche-Posay Lipikar Xerand Hand Cream

La Roche-Posay is a renowned French dermocosmetic brand founded in 1975, taking its name from the thermal springs in the village of La Roche-Posay, France. The brand is famous for incorporating this mineral-rich thermal spring water into its formulations, specifically targeting sensitive skin and dermatological conditions. The Lipikar line, to which this Xerand hand cream belongs, was launched in 1989 and is specialized in restoring the lipid barrier for dry and eczema-prone skin.

Today, La Roche-Posay is a key asset in the Active Cosmetics division of L'Oréal, the world's largest cosmetics company. While the brand has global distribution, its products are primarily manufactured in France to maintain the high standards of pharmaceutical-grade production and to utilize the local thermal water sources. The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of L'Oréal S.A., headquartered in Clichy, France.
