Sanex is a prominent personal care brand specializing in skin health and hypoallergenic products. Originally founded in Spain in 1984 by the company Henkel (under the Laboratorios de Higiene y Dermatología name), the brand was developed with a focus on keeping skin healthy by maintaining its natural pH balance.

Over the decades, the brand's ownership shifted through corporate acquisitions. In 2011, Colgate-Palmolive acquired Sanex from Unilever, which had briefly owned the brand following a merger with Sara Lee. Today, Sanex is a flagship skin care brand for Colgate-Palmolive across Europe and other international markets.

Manufacturing for Sanex products is distributed across various European facilities to serve local markets efficiently. While much of the production occurs in Italy and other EU nations, the brand's strategic direction is managed from the Colgate-Palmolive headquarters in the United States. The Sanex Zero% line specifically emphasizes fewer chemical ingredients and is frequently endorsed by dermatological foundations, such as the British Skin Foundation seen on the packaging.
