Helosan Fotsalva foot ointment

Helosan is a classic Scandinavian skincare brand that has been a household staple since the mid-20th century. Originally developed for veterinary use, particularly for cow udders, it quickly gained popularity among humans for its moisturizing and healing properties on dry or cracked skin. The product shown, Helosan Fotsalva, is a specialized foot ointment enriched with carbamide to soften calluses and skin-strengthening ingredients.

While the brand has deep Swedish roots, the manufacturing of Helosan products currently takes place in Denmark. The brand was historically part of the Pharmacia portfolio but was eventually acquired as part of broader company mergers and acquisitions. Today, the brand is owned by Karo Healthcare, a Swedish consumer healthcare company that manages a variety of well-known health and wellness brands across Europe. The company focuses on provides reliable and affordable healthcare products to the Nordic market and beyond.
