# CareMed ## Facts | | | |---|---| | Founded | 2004 | | Origin | Germany | | Headquarters | Kaufbeuren | | Owner | CareMed Products GmbH | | Status | Active | | Manufacturing | Germany | | Distribution | Salon & professional | | Website | https://caremedgmbh.de/ | CareMed is a German skincare line focused on foot and hand care, made by CareMed Products GmbH of Kaufbeuren in Bavaria. The line includes alkaline foot creams, a urea-based cream for very dry and thickened skin, a cream for cracked heels and a hand cream sold in large salon-sized containers. Its parent company is primarily a specialist wholesaler supplying podiatrists, foot-care practitioners and beauty studios, and it sells exclusively to trade customers through its own shop [1]. CareMed is one of four house brands the company produces, alongside SanaMed, demykoMed and Cora Fee. The line is also carried by consumer-facing resellers, and a product test published in 2013 shows that its best-known foot cream was already on the market by then [10]. The brand is active, and its parent company publishes trade-oriented articles on foot care and beauty treatments at regular intervals. ## Origin & founders CareMed Products GmbH is a private limited company registered at the district court of Kempten under the number HRB 8602 [8]. Its registered business purpose is broad: the manufacture and distribution of skin care, cosmetics and hygiene products, medical instruments, treatment furniture such as beds, chairs and lamps, dietary supplements, podiatry and cosmetic supplies, and natural products [8]. That range mirrors what the company sells today, from creams to treatment chairs. The company operates from Am Bleichanger in Kaufbeuren. Its founders are not publicly named. The company itself refers to "more than 20 years of experience" in professional podiatry, foot care and cosmetics, and presents that experience as the basis for its understanding of what practitioners need in their daily work. Its current managing directors are Richard Förster and Dennis Thomas Huber [3]. ## Ownership CareMed is a house brand of CareMed Products GmbH, which presents the brand on its homepage together with SanaMed, demykoMed and Cora Fee [1]. The four brands occupy different niches. SanaMed covers foot balms and a series of foot cream-foams named after gemstones, such as Rubin, Jade and Saphir. demykoMed focuses on protective products for nails and skin prone to fungal infection, and Cora Fee is described by one reseller as an anti-ageing cosmetics line [9]. According to the German business register, the company has two active shareholders, whose identities are not publicly disclosed [8]. No acquisitions or changes of ownership involving the brand are documented. Alongside its own brands, the company also resells products from other manufacturers, including Akileine and Schülke, which appear next to CareMed creams in its foot-care range [5]. ## Philosophy & positioning CareMed's positioning follows from its parent company's role as a supplier to professionals. The company describes itself as "your specialist for podiatry, cosmetics and wellness" and calls its shop a specialist wholesaler for business customers only. Its products are aimed first at people who treat feet and skin for a living, rather than at retail shoppers. The company frames its own goods under the line "Qualität Made in Germany" (quality made in Germany). It says its house brands are produced under the strictest controls and highest standards, which it calls a matter of course, and that it works with carefully selected suppliers of raw materials. The company describes itself as a manufacturer and wholesaler of cosmetic care products for daily skin care, and says its aim is to offer products that are not only effective but also made from natural ingredients [4]. These statements are made at company level and apply to all four house brands, not to CareMed alone. A recurring idea in the product names is alkaline care. Several CareMed creams are labelled "basisch" (alkaline), a concept that one reseller describes as basic skincare designed to regenerate and soothe different skin types. ## Products & innovation The CareMed line is small and centred on feet. The FußFit alkaline foot cream comes in a 150 ml tube; the company describes it as fast-absorbing and also suitable for people with diabetes. The Urea 10% extra alkaline foot cream is built around urea, a moisture-binding ingredient. According to the company, it is intended for dry skin lacking moisture and for pronounced hyperkeratosis, the build-up of thick, hardened skin [5]. The Allgäuer Schrundencreme takes its name from the Allgäu region and from "Schrunden", the German word for deep cracks in the skin. CareMed describes it as a care cream for heavily calloused, cracked, dry and rough skin. It is sold in a 125 ml size and a larger 450 ml container. Beyond the feet, the line includes Handzart, an alkaline hand cream in a 450 ml tub. A separate dosing pump designed for that container is offered for treatment-room use, which reflects the professional customer base. The range also includes Lift Hyaluron Ampoules, a pack of 14 two-millilitre ampoules built around hyaluronic acid, a moisture-holding ingredient. The company has not published details of patents, proprietary technologies or clinical studies for the CareMed line, and no third-party certifications are documented. Some resellers describe additional series under the CareMed name, including a "CareMed Classic" range and a podiatry line called PodoMed [9]; neither appears in the company's own shop. ## Recognition The brand has received little independent press attention, and no awards are documented. Its clearest independent reception comes from consumers. In April 2013, a reviewer on the German product-testing community Pinkmelon rated the Urea 10% extra cream 4.2 out of 5 [10]. The reviewer called it a very reliable foot cream that copes even with dry skin, and reported noticeably smoother feet after a single use. She noted that the cream absorbed fully within about five minutes without leaving a greasy film, but criticised its scent, which she described as herbal and ointment-like. ## Current status CareMed is an active brand. Its parent company runs a live online shop for trade customers and publishes a blog with articles on topics such as callus removal, nail care, foot baths and sugaring hair removal. Sixteen posts appeared between April and September 2026, with the most recent dated 14 September 2026 [2]. The business is oriented chiefly toward the German market, and the company's own sales channel is restricted to professional customers. In practice, the CareMed creams also reach consumers through independent resellers. The company maintains an English-language version of its website alongside the German one. ## Timeline {#belagg-timeline} | Year | Event | Source | |---|---|---| | 2004 | Caremed Products GmbH first registered at the Kempten district court (HRB 8602), with Rudolf Josef Förster as managing director and €25,000 share capital | https://www.northdata.com/Caremed%20Products%20GmbH,%20Kaufbeuren/Amtsgericht%20Kempten%20HRB%208602 | | 2020 | Dennis Huber appointed managing director (25 Sept 2020); Helene Förster no longer in position | https://www.northdata.com/Caremed%20Products%20GmbH,%20Kaufbeuren/Amtsgericht%20Kempten%20HRB%208602 | | 2025 | Richard Förster appointed managing director (2 Jan 2025); Rudolf Josef Förster no longer in position | https://www.northdata.com/Caremed%20Products%20GmbH,%20Kaufbeuren/Amtsgericht%20Kempten%20HRB%208602 | ## Signature products {#belagg-products} - **FußFit basische Fußcreme** — Schnell einziehende Fußcreme auch für Diabetiker geeignet — https://caremedgmbh.de/pflegeprodukte/fusscremes/ - **Urea 10% extra basische Fußcreme** — zur Behandlung von trockenen und feuchtigkeitsarmen Hautzuständen sowie ausgeprägter Hyperkeratose — https://caremedgmbh.de/pflegeprodukte/fusscremes/ - **Allgäuer Schrundencreme** — Pflegecreme für stark verhornte, rissige, trockene und raue Haut — https://caremedgmbh.de/pflegeprodukte/fusscremes/ - **Handzart Basische Handcreme** — Handzart - Basische Handcreme, 450 ml — https://caremedgmbh.de/pflegeprodukte/ - **Lift Hyaluron Ampoules** — Lift Hyaluron Ampoules, 14 Ampullen á 2 ml — https://caremedgmbh.de/pflegeprodukte/ ## Key ingredients {#belagg-ingredients} Urea · Hyaluron (hyaluronic acid) Source: https://caremedgmbh.de/pflegeprodukte/ ## Sources 1.
