Sederma

Sederma is a member of the Croda International Group and a worldwide leader in developing active ingredients for the cosmetic industry.

Founded in 1964, Sederma introduced many ingredients and technologies that have become well-known and accepted for skin care. Examples include shea butter, cosmetic liposomes, synthetic ceramides, and Matrixyl range peptides.

Sederma was the first company to use microbial fermentation techniques to produce active ingredients that replaced animal tissue extracts. Sederma has developed ingredients for many of the significant international skin-care and cosmetic manufacturers from such work.

Sederma built its reputation as one of the best suppliers in this market segment through its commitment to research and new product development. It has also developed state-of-the-art techniques for testing the performance of its active ingredients, using both clinical trials and highly advanced in vitro methods.
