Overview
AQUA SKIN is a small German line of urea skincare made up of a lotion and an ointment, each named after its urea concentration. It belongs to Euro OTC & Audor Pharma GmbH, a company based in Bönen, Germany, that mainly supplies pharmaceutical raw materials to pharmacies [1][10]. The line has no website or public profile of its own and appears mostly as product listings in pharmacy shops.
The brand is active in the sense that its products remain on sale. The year the line was introduced is not publicly stated, and no founders, launch story or press coverage are known.
Ownership
Pharmacy listings for AQUA SKIN name Euro OTC & Audor Pharma GmbH as the manufacturer, and the same company carries the products in its own online catalogue under matching pharmacy article numbers [10][11]. The owner's company name is given in two forms. Its homepage and the pharmacy manufacturer entries use "Euro OTC & Audor Pharma GmbH", while the legal notice on its website names "Euro OTC Pharma GmbH", registered at the district court in Hamm [5]. The more recent homepage uses the longer name. No public explanation, such as a renaming or a merger of two firms, has been given for the difference. The legal notice lists Jürgen Beyer as managing director.
According to the company, Euro OTC Pharma was founded in 1993 and has grown into a significant supplier of pharmaceutical raw materials in Germany [1]. That year belongs to the company, not to AQUA SKIN. Euro OTC & Audor Pharma describes itself as a medium-sized, owner-managed business that sells active ingredients and excipients for pharmacy compounding to pharmacies, hospitals, pharmaceutical wholesalers and industry, alongside natural extracts and cosmetics. Since 2005, the company says, worldwide export of food supplements, over-the-counter products and cosmetics has been a further focus of its work [4].
AQUA SKIN is not the only consumer-facing name in the company's range. Its website also presents Vesigel, which the company describes as a gel base built on a patented sponge-collagen technology, and a line called EuRho Vital.
Products & innovation
The range is compact. The owner's catalogue lists four AQUA SKIN articles: a 5% urea lotion in a 250 ml bottle, the same 5% lotion in a 250 ml dispenser, and a 10% urea ointment ("Salbe") in 100 ml and 20 ml tubes [6][8]. In product names the brand is written "Aqua Skin", and pharmacies sell the lotion as "Aqua Skin Urea Lotio".
The catalogue pages sit among the company's compounding substances rather than in a separate consumer section. They carry a product number, a German pharmacy article number (PZN) and a pack size, with trade prices and batch test certificates available to pharmacy professionals after login. No brand-level statement of philosophy or mission has been published for the line, and no third-party certifications, patents or clinical studies are documented for AQUA SKIN itself.
Current status
AQUA SKIN is active. In September 2026 the 250 ml urea lotion was listed for sale with in-store pickup at a German pharmacy web shop, and all four articles were present in the owner's online catalogue [10]. Availability was uneven: another pharmacy listed the 20 ml ointment as not deliverable at the same time [11].
The company's news posts, the most recent dating from March 2025, do not mention AQUA SKIN, and no new products or launches for the line are known. Every retail listing identified is a German pharmacy, and there is no evidence of the line being sold outside Germany, even though the owner exports cosmetics in general.
