Aquaphor and Hansaplast in Bulgaria

Two remarkable brands with products sourced from the cooperation between pharmacology and dermatology

In 1880, pharmacist Paul Beiersdorf acquired a pharmacy in Hamburg, Germany. Only two years later, his cooperation with leading dermatologist Prof. Paul Gerson Unna resulted in developing a medical plasters manufacturing process patented by the company. In a similar partnership, the Eucerit emulsifier was invented, leading to a revolutionary development of skin care. Today, for millions of doctors, pharmacists and consumers Eucerin and Hansaplast are a symbol of quality and trustworthiness.

Aquaphor by Eucerin is a gamechanger in fighting extremely dry and sensitive skin. Applied by adults, children and even to babies for SOS care for minor burns and wounds, Eucerin Aquaphor Repairing Ointment is favoured by many generations around the world. This product is sold on the Bulgarian market since Oct 2018. Aquaphor helps sooth and regenerate very dry hands skin and cuticles, cracked heels and feet, wounds, minor burns, sensitive baby skin, as well as dermatologically treated skin. This multipurpose product efficacy comes from its two main ingredients: Glycerin and Panthenol. They moisturize and regenerate the skin effectively.

Introducing Eucerin Aquaphor Repairing Ointment in Bulgaria is an exciting moment for Beiersdorf Bulgaria. For decades, Aquaphor has been popular in many countries and has turned into a standard for dry and very dry skin care as well as SOS care for minor burns and wounds. The Company anticipates that Aquaphor will be well accepted on the local market and will turn into a common skin care product for every age.

Eucerin Aquaphor Repairing Ointment strengthens the skin natural barrier function, allowing skin to ‘breath’. The Glycerin in the formula is an effective moisturizer that attracts water and helps to keep it in the skin. It works alongside Panthenol which helps to speed up regeneration and repair while also moisturizing skin. The two ingredients form a semi-occlusive protective barrier over skin and accelerate skin regeneration.

Aquaphor is fragrance-, preservative-, and water-free, so it is suitable for every skin – from baby’s sensitive skin to adults. Dermatological and clinical tests prove very good efficacy and tolerability even on extremely dry, cracked or irritated skin.

On the Bulgarian market, you can find a 45 ml convenient portable packing of Eucerin Aquaphor Repairing Ointment and a 220 ml large-size packing.

Research results evidence the multipurpose efficacy of Eucerin Aquaphor Repairing Ointment:
