# Dr. Sacher's ## Facts | | | |---|---| | Founded | 1990 | | Origin | Germany | | Headquarters | Haiger | | Status | Active | | Manufacturing | Germany | | Website | https://kuehn-kosmetik.de/ | Dr. Sacher's is a German body-care brand produced by Kühn Kosmetik, a manufacturer based in Haiger. The name works less as a separate product line than as a quality label: the company says every product it makes is manufactured to "Dr. Sacher's Apothekenqualität", which translates as "pharmacy quality" [1]. Its range leans on traditional German care staples, from horse balm and devil's claw rubs to marigold creams and Dead Sea salt bath products. Kühn Kosmetik was founded in 1990 by the Kühn family and has been led by Andreas Kilian since he took the company over in 2003 [2]. The brand is active, with a catalogue of 59 products that includes several recent additions. ## Origin & founders According to its own history, Kühn Kosmetik began in Haiger in 1990 as a family business started by the Kühn family [2]. The company says it grew from there into a supplier of care products for the whole body. Its account dates the company, not the brand name. Kühn Kosmetik does not publicly explain who Dr. Sacher was or when the Dr. Sacher's name was introduced, so the age of the label itself is not established. The 1990 founding year belongs to the manufacturer and should not be read as the birth of the Dr. Sacher's name. ## Ownership In 2003 the company was taken over by Andreas Kilian, who has run it since [2]. The company's legal notice names Kilian as the person operating Kühn Kosmetik from its address in Haiger [4]. Independent product listings also identify Kühn Kosmetik as the manufacturer behind Dr. Sacher's products [8]. No parent group, sister brands or later changes of ownership are documented. ## Philosophy & positioning The pharmacy-quality label sits at the centre of how the company presents itself. Kühn Kosmetik describes it as a standard under which all products are made in Germany to strict specifications, and says customers can rely on the products being effective and well tolerated [2]. Alongside product quality, the company names customer service and expert advice as core values. Its website directs visitors to a product enquiry form rather than an online shop. The company also describes a commitment to the environment. It says it uses environmentally friendly packaging, works to reduce its ecological footprint and favours natural, environmentally compatible raw materials. It gives no measurable targets for these aims, and no third-party certifications are documented. ## Products & innovation The catalogue is organised into face and hands, bath and shower, health and sport, leg and foot care, body care and care series. Much of it is built around plant oils, minerals and other traditional ingredients, and the ingredient often doubles as the product name. Horse balm (Pferdebalsam) is the most extensive line. It comes in sizes from 150 ml to 1,000 ml, plus an intensive version with devil's claw [6]. Related products include a horse gel in regular and "Hot" versions and a liquid horse ointment. Devil's claw also appears on its own and in an intensive cream combined with marmot fat, while a separate marmot fat cream sits elsewhere in the range. Other products are built around Dead Sea salt, which appears in a shampoo, a shower bath, a body lotion and a mineral care cream. The range also includes a mud-based wellness cream, a tea tree oil cream and an olive oil line covering a cream, a shampoo and a body balm. Leg and foot products feature horse chestnut, red vine leaf and comfrey, and there is a cream for cracked heels. Further items use mare's milk, shea butter, sea buckthorn oil, mountain pine and milking grease, along with a herbal oil blend sold as Kräuteröl Nr. 111. Sport and outdoor products form a smaller group. They include a balm for cyclists and hikers and a warming muscle balm sold as Muskel Fit Thermo. The company's homepage highlights three products in particular: Bein-O-San, a glycerin cream and the 500 ml horse balm [1]. A marigold cream with sea buckthorn oil is also listed on the review aggregator testberichte.de, where its description says it combines two plant ingredients valued in natural medicine for more than 100 years. The same page records no test verdicts from the German consumer testing bodies Öko-Test or Stiftung Warentest [8]. No proprietary technologies, patents or clinical studies are documented for the brand. ## Current status Dr. Sacher's is active. The manufacturer's website lists 59 products, and several are marked as new: a 150 ml tube of the horse balm, the intensive devil's claw and marmot cream, and an intensive horse chestnut and comfrey cream [5][6]. The company publishes no dated news or product launches, and no social media channels are linked from its website. No awards or editorial press coverage are documented. ## Timeline {#belagg-timeline} | Year | Event | Source | |---|---|---| | 1990 | Kühn Kosmetik founded in Haiger by the Kühn family | https://kuehn-kosmetik.de/ueber-uns | | 2003 | Company taken over by Andreas Kilian, who has led it since | https://kuehn-kosmetik.de/ueber-uns | | 2003 | Kühn Kosmetik taken over by Andreas Kilian ("Im Jahr 2003 wurde die Firma von Andreas Kilian übernommen") | https://kuehn-kosmetik.de/ueber-uns | ## Signature products {#belagg-products} - **Pferdebalsam (horse balm; sold in 150 ml, 300 ml, 500 ml, 1000 ml and a 'mit Teufelskralle' intensive variant)** — Pferdebalsam Dr. Sacher´s 150 ml Tube „NEU"; Pferdebalsam 500 ml; Pferdebalsam 300 ml Dr. Sacher's 10er; Pferdebalsam 1000 ml; Pferdebalsam mit Teufelskralle 250 ml intensiv — https://kuehn-kosmetik.de/produkte/page/3/ - **Bein-O-San 150 ml (featured on homepage)** — Links to: Bein-O-San 150ml, Glycerin Creme 250ml, Pferdebalsam 500ml — https://kuehn-kosmetik.de/ - **Glycerin Creme 250 ml (featured on homepage)** — Links to: Bein-O-San 150ml, Glycerin Creme 250ml, Pferdebalsam 500ml — https://kuehn-kosmetik.de/ - **Ringelblumencreme mit Sanddornöl 250 ml** — Dr. Sacher's Ringelblumencreme mit Sanddornöl 250 ml [...] Gesamtbewertung: 4,7 von 5 Sternen [...] 221 Meinungen von Amazon.de — https://www.testberichte.de/gesundheit-schoenheit/dr-sacher-s-ringelblumencreme-mit-sanddornoel-250-ml.html ## Key ingredients {#belagg-ingredients} Totes Meer Salz (Dead Sea salt) · Teufelskralle (devil's claw) · Murmeltier (marmot fat) · Teebaumöl (tea tree oil) · Moor (mud/peat) Source: https://kuehn-kosmetik.de/produkte/ ## Sources 1.
