# Lasepton ## Facts | | | |---|---| | Origin | Austria | | Headquarters | Graz | | Owner | Apomedica Pharmazeutische Produkte GmbH | | Status | Active | | Manufacturing | German-speaking region (Austria/Germany/Switzerland; certified contract specialists, country not specified per product) | | Distribution | Pharmacy | | Website | https://www.lasepton.at/ | Lasepton is an Austrian skincare brand for sensitive, dry and easily irritated skin, owned by the Graz-based pharmaceutical company Apomedica Pharmazeutische Produkte GmbH [2]. The brand presents itself as a specialist in caring for delicate baby skin and for the problem skin of adults, and it groups its products under the label "medical skincare" while classifying the individual items as cosmetics. Lasepton is sold exclusively in pharmacies, according to the company. The brand is active. Its range is organised into three lines: BABY for infants and young children, CARE for dry and sensitive adult skin, and INTENSIV for very dry, itchy skin and for skin exposed to incontinence. Lasepton does not publish a founding year, and its own pages give two different figures for how long it has been in business. ## Origin & founders The people behind the creation of Lasepton are not publicly named, and no founding year has been published. The brand's homepage, its "About us" page and its baby-care page all speak of more than 35 years of experience in medical skincare [1]. The page for the INTENSIV line, however, refers to the experience gathered "in 30 years" of producing medical skincare [7]. The difference most likely reflects older copy on one page rather than a genuine dispute, but neither figure is tied to a specific year. Taken at face value, the larger figure would place the brand's beginnings around the start of the 1990s or earlier. What is documented is the history of its parent. According to a business-press interview with the company, Apomedica was founded by the Austrian physician and pharmacist Dr. Friedrich Böhm (1927–2013), who had begun asking how medicines could be both effective and well tolerated as early as the 1960s [11]. His focus on effectiveness combined with good tolerability became the guiding principle of the company he later set up, which is best known for its Dr. Böhm brand. No source links Böhm personally to the development of Lasepton. ## Ownership Lasepton is a brand of Apomedica Pharmazeutische Produkte GmbH [2], whose registered address is on Roseggerkai in Graz, Austria [8]. The company's stated business covers the research, manufacture and distribution of pharmaceutical products, including medicines, dietary supplements, cosmetics, medical devices and homeopathic remedies. Apomedica describes itself as still being a family company [11]. Mag. Ruth Fischer, who heads Apomedica, is also named on the Lasepton website as the brand's management. Lasepton sits in the group's portfolio alongside the herbal and mineral supplement brand Dr. Böhm, the cold-remedy brand LUUF and the homeopathic range Apozema. On its English-language brand overview, Apomedica says the quality of Lasepton rests on formulations and active ingredients "whose effects are proven and internationally documented" [9]. ## Philosophy & positioning Lasepton's core message is care for skin that reacts easily. The company says it develops products specifically for sensitive skin and selects ingredients whose effects it describes as dermatologically proven. Its list of core strengths includes natural and plant-based ingredients, recent research findings, strict quality guidelines and dermatological testing. According to the brand, every Lasepton product is built on what it calls the CARE formula, a base of plant extracts, plant oils and vitamins adjusted to different skin types. Lasepton also defines itself by what it leaves out. The company says it avoids ingredients it considers potentially allergenic or undesirable, naming PEG derivatives, aluminium, microplastics and nanomaterials [2]. For the CARE line specifically, it states that the products contain no dyes, parabens, PEG derivatives or allergenic fragrances [6]. That wording is narrower than "fragrance-free": it excludes fragrances classed as allergens rather than all scent. The brand also points to professional endorsement. Lasepton says that dermatologists, pharmacists and care professionals have recommended its products for decades, a claim made on its own site rather than by an independent body. ## Products & innovation The BABY line covers bathing, everyday care and the nappy area. It includes a bath and shampoo product, the BABY Bioaktiv Schutz-Creme for dry skin and daily nappy-area care, and a separate protective cream for irritated, reddened patches. On the baby-care page the company says each ingredient is checked for purity and allergy potential. The CARE line addresses dry and sensitive adult skin. Its best-documented product is the Regenerations-Creme, intended for dry, irritated and reddened skin, which contains 5 % dexpanthenol together with plant-based Defensil, a registered ingredient name [6]. The line also includes a shower and shampoo for sensitive skin and dry hair, a lipid body lotion for very dry, rough skin, and a foot cream that softens excess hard skin. The INTENSIV line was developed for people with very dry, itchy skin and is presented as daily supportive care for conditions such as atopic dermatitis (eczema) and psoriasis. Its INTENSIV Pflege Lotion uses what the company calls Bi-Gel technology, a gel that, according to Lasepton, combines moisture and oil without the use of emulsifiers, the agents normally needed to make the two mix [1]. The INTENSIV Schutz-Creme protects skin exposed to incontinence by forming a water-repellent film, with zinc as its protective ingredient. Across the range, the ingredients the brand highlights include dexpanthenol, urea, ceramides, evening primrose oil, allantoin, vitamin E and zinc oxide. Atopic dermatitis is a recurring theme on the brand's site, which hosts advice pages on the condition in adults and young children. Lasepton states that the condition affects up to 10 % of the population in Central Europe and up to 20 % of children, and it stresses daily barrier care even when the skin is calm. ## Quality & manufacturing Lasepton says that all of its formulas are tested by independent institutes for tolerability and effectiveness, and that every product is dermatologically tested by independent institutes [3]. The names of these institutes are not published. The company also states that it follows Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), monitoring and documenting each step from raw material to finished product. This is a self-declared standard rather than a named third-party certificate. Production, according to the brand, takes place exclusively with certified specialist manufacturers in the German-speaking region. The brand promotes this under the heading "quality from Austria", although the wording on manufacturing covers the German-speaking area as a whole rather than Austria alone. The company adds that every ingredient can be traced through the full production process. ## Current status Lasepton is an active brand. Its website carries a 2026 copyright notice from Apomedica and links to terms and conditions dated June 2026, alongside the current product range. The brand maintains web presences for Austria and Germany, with further brand pages for the Czech Republic and Slovenia on Apomedica's regional sites. It also runs a club for qualified midwives, which offers free samples two to three times a year, product information and early access to new products [10]. No awards, independent product test results or controversies involving the brand are documented. ## Certifications {#belagg-certifications} - **GMP** — “Lasepton® folgt der "Guten Herstellungspraxis" (Good Manufacturing Practice).” — https://www.lasepton.at/lasepton-medizinische-hautpflege/qualitaet-und-technologie/ ## Signature products {#belagg-products} - **Lasepton® Regenerations-Creme** — Bei trockener, irritierter und geröteter Haut; enthält 5 % Dexpanthenol + Pflanzliches Defensil® (Kosmetikum) — https://www.lasepton.at/lasepton-produktlinien/lasepton-medizinische-hautpflege/ - **Lasepton® INTENSIV Pflege Lotion** — Die Lasepton® INTENSIV Pflege Lotion zeichnet sich durch die einzigartige Bi-Gel-Technologie aus. — https://www.lasepton.at/ - **Lasepton® BABY Bioaktiv Schutz-Creme** — Für die tägliche Pflege bei trockener Haut und im Windelbereich (Kosmetikum) — https://www.lasepton.at/ - **Lasepton® Fußcreme** — Löst sanft übermäßige Hornhaut und pflegt trockene Füße (Kosmetikum) — https://www.lasepton.at/ - **Lasepton® INTENSIV Schutz-Creme** — Hautschutz bei Inkontinenz durch feuchtigkeitsabweisenden Schutzfilm (Kosmetikum) — https://www.lasepton.at/ ## Key ingredients {#belagg-ingredients} Dexpanthenol · Pflanzliches Defensil® · Zinkoxid · Urea · Ceramide · Nachtkerzenöl · Allantoin · Vitamin E Source: https://www.lasepton.at/ ## Proprietary technologies & patents {#belagg-tech} - Bi-Gel-Technologie · CARE Formel — https://www.lasepton.at/ ## Sources 1.
