# Coryt ## Facts | | | |---|---| | Founded | 2007 | | Origin | Germany | | Headquarters | Ehingen (Donau) | | Status | Active | | Distribution | Multi-channel | | Website | https://www.coryt.de/ | Coryt is a German maker of skin-protection and skin-care products for the nursing and healthcare sector, based in Ehingen (Donau). The company, which trades as CORYT GmbH & Co. KG and presents itself publicly as CORYT Health & Care, was founded in 2007 [2][7]. Its range of creams, lotions, gels and sprays is built around preventing skin damage in people who are bedridden, incontinent, in intensive care or undergoing cancer treatment. Unlike most skincare brands, Coryt addresses professional carers first. Its products are supplied to hospitals, care homes, outpatient nursing services, doctors' surgeries and podiatrists, while private users can buy them through pharmacies and medical supply stores. The brand remains active, with a busy schedule of wound-care and nursing congresses announced into 2027. ## Origin & founders The company states that it was founded in 2007; a 2025 profile published by a local basketball club gives the same year and places the founding in Ehingen [7]. No public account names the people who founded it or describes how it came about. Coryt explains its name through the English word "core". According to the company, the core stands for the human being, whom it describes as the centre of everything it does. The capitalised form CORYT is used throughout the brand's own materials, often with the addition "Health & Care". ## Ownership Coryt is organised as a GmbH & Co. KG, a common German legal form in which a limited company acts as the managing general partner. The company's legal notice names TW Ehingen Verwaltungs GmbH as that partner, represented by Dr. Dieter Wildhagen and Dr. Susanne Tries [6]. The same notice lists Dr. Susanne Tries as responsible for the website's editorial content. No parent group, outside investor or acquisition is on record, and Coryt does not appear to belong to a wider brand portfolio. ## Headquarters The company's two public addresses differ. The footer of its main web pages gives Nobelstraße 68, 89584 Ehingen [2], while its legal notice lists Hauffstraße 2, 89584 Ehingen (Donau) [6]. Both are in the same town, so the location of the business is not in doubt; only the street differs. Coryt describes its company building as a new construction designed around short internal communication paths. The company says the building meets the standard for a nearly-zero-energy building in energy-efficiency class A+, and that a photovoltaic system supplies electricity to its three heat pumps. ## Philosophy & positioning Coryt calls itself a research-based company offering quality products for professional care. Its stated focus is skin protection and skin care for wound prophylaxis, meaning the prevention of wounds before they form rather than their treatment afterwards. In its own words, the company feels committed to people and aims to give customers an added value that can be "felt on the skin". Each page of the brand's website closes with the phrase "Keine Kompromisse" ("No compromises"), followed by a line about skin protection and skin care for wound prophylaxis. It works as a recurring motto, although the company does not label it a slogan. The brand frames its products against professional nursing guidelines rather than beauty trends. Coryt states that its products meet the requirements of the German expert standard on maintaining and promoting skin integrity in nursing, published by the DNQP [1]. Its website also sets out, for different kinds of customer, why each should choose the brand. Hospitals, it says, use Coryt because high-performance medicine must not stop at nursing care; doctors and podiatrists recommend it because a satisfied patient is the best advertising. Coryt is a supporting member of the Initiative Chronische Wunde e.V. (ICW), a German association concerned with chronic wounds [2]. The company also lists a long series of professional events at which it is represented, almost all of them wound-care symposia and nursing congresses. Although the company works in a medical setting, it classes its products as cosmetics. Coryt says all of its products are made in line with the EU Cosmetics Regulation and under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) [1]. No production site is named, and no third-party certifications are documented. ## Products & innovation The Coryt range consists of eight core products, grouped by the company into skin protection, skin care, hand care and skin cleansing. **Skin protection.** The best-known product is CORYT Protect, which the company describes as a skin-protection cream that forms a breathable protective film while also caring for the skin. According to Coryt, the film reduces water loss from the skin and helps prevent maceration, the softening and breakdown of skin that stays damp for too long. CORYT Protect Sensitive is a gel version made without preservatives, emulsifiers or fragrance, which the company recommends for people with allergies and for protecting the hands against work-related skin disease. CORYT Barrier Spray delivers a similar protective film as a spray. CORYT Secure Lotion is a skin-protection emulsion intended to reduce sweating. Fragrance-free versions of CORYT Protect and of the hand cream are also offered. **Skin care.** CORYT Desqua is a rich care cream containing honey, urea and allantoin. The company explains the choice of honey by pointing to its long use in treating wounds and inflammation, noting its antibacterial effect. It adds that urea supports the skin's natural ability to hold moisture and that allantoin stimulates cell renewal. CORYT Care Lotion is a lightly greasing body lotion; Coryt says it contains beeswax together with avocado, almond and jojoba oils. **Hand care and cleansing.** CORYT Care is a lightly greasing hand cream meant to protect and care for the hands at the same time. CORYT Feel Fresh is a mild wash and cleansing gel for skin and hair, which the company describes as pleasantly scented. Rather than a product catalogue in the usual sense, much of Coryt's website is organised by medical situation. It matches individual products to around 28 care scenarios. Among them are pressure ulcers (bedsores), skin damage linked to incontinence, the skin reactions caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, hand-foot syndrome, diabetes and diabetic foot problems, skin injury from medical adhesives, the skin around stomas and feeding tubes, nappy rash and palliative care. Some of these use cases are specific to hospital work. CORYT Desqua, for example, is recommended for the facial skin of intensive-care patients who are ventilated while lying on their stomach, a position that puts sustained pressure on the face. For pressure ulcers, Coryt says that applying CORYT Protect once or twice a day has proven to be a useful supporting measure alongside regular repositioning of the patient [4]. The company also states that the cream does not reduce the absorbency of incontinence pads, and that it helps prevent incontinence-associated dermatitis and moisture lesions. Coryt makes practical claims aimed at care staff as well as patients. It says that, measured by the time saved during cleaning, one tube of CORYT Protect corresponds to up to four hours of saved nursing time [4]. These efficacy statements are the company's own; none of them refers to a named clinical study, and no patents or proprietary technologies are documented. ## Distribution Coryt sells mainly into the healthcare system. According to the company, it supplies hospitals, inpatient and outpatient care services, nursing homes, doctors' and podiatry practices, medical supply stores, home-care providers, pharmaceutical wholesalers and pharmacies. Commercial customers order directly from the company using a customer number. Private users, the company says, obtain Coryt products from pharmacies and medical supply stores [5], and each product is listed with a German pharmacy product number (PZN). The brand's activity is concentrated in Germany. Its website is in German only, and every congress it lists takes place in Germany. No export or international distribution is described. ## Current status Coryt is active. Its events page lists around 30 congresses and symposia between January 2026 and March 2027 [3]. The most recent past entry is a meeting on modern wound care at the Varisano Klinikum Frankfurt Höchst on 23 September 2026. Further appearances are announced through the 13th Kiel wound symposium in March 2027; these are the company's own announcements of planned attendance. The range of eight products remains listed for ordering, and the company maintains accounts on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube under the name CORYT Health & Care. ## Timeline {#belagg-timeline} | Year | Event | Source | |---|---|---| | 2007 | Company founded (CORYT GmbH & Co.
