Cetaphil was created in 1947 by a pioneering pharmacist in San Antonio, Texas, beginning with the iconic Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. Formulated specifically to cleanse without stripping the skin barrier, the brand earned widespread dermatologist endorsement for sensitive and compromised skin conditions. Owned by Galderma, Cetaphil continues to lead dermatological skincare with gentle cleansers, moisturizers, and barrier-repair creams worldwide.
