Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15

Cetaphil is a globally recognized skincare brand originally founded in 1947 by a pharmacist in Texas, USA. Its first product, the Cetaphil Cleansing Lotion, laid the foundation for a brand focused specifically on gentle dermatological care for sensitive skin. Over the decades, Cetaphil expanded its reach and product lines to include moisturizers, sunscreens, and specialized treatments for conditions like eczema and rosacea.

In 1980, the brand was acquired by Galderma Laboratories, which was then a joint venture between Nestlé and L'Oréal. After a period of full ownership by Nestlé, Galderma was sold in 2019 to a consortium of institutional investors led by EQT. As of 2026, Cetaphil remains the flagship brand of Galderma Group AG, which is now a publicly listed company on the SIX Swiss Exchange. While L'Oréal regained a minority stake (20%) in Galderma in late 2025, Galderma operates as an independent dermatology leader.

Manufacturing for Cetaphil products occurs in multiple strategic locations worldwide. Significant portions of the North American supply are produced in Baie-D'Urfé, Canada, while other primary facilities are located in France (Alby-sur-Chéran), Brazil (Hortolândia), and Sweden (Uppsala). The brand maintains a dual manufacturing strategy, producing approximately 70% of its volume in-house and outsourcing the remainder to specialized third-party partners.
