QV Bath Oil

QV Bath Oil is an iconic dermatological product developed by Ego Pharmaceuticals. The brand's origin dates back to 1953 in Melbourne, Australia, when chemist Gerald Oppenheim and his wife, Rae Oppenheim, founded the company. The name 'QV' stands for Queen Victoria, a nod to the Queen Victoria Hospital in Melbourne where the very first QV Skin Cream was specifically formulated at the request of the hospital's dermatology department to help patients with dry or sensitive skin.

Today, the product is still proudly manufactured in Australia at Ego Pharmaceuticals' world-class facilities. The company remains an independent, family-owned business, now managed by the next generation of the Oppenheim family. It has grown from a small laboratory into a global leader in skincare, known for its science-based approach and pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing standards. The QV range is widely recommended by dermatologists for managing conditions like eczema and psoriasis due to its fragrance-free and non-comedogenic formulations.
