Sebamed

Sebamed is a globally recognised dermatological skincare brand formulated to support the skin’s natural barrier with its scientifically established pH 5.5. Recommended by dermatologists for sensitive, dry, eczema-prone and compromised skin, Sebamed products help restore moisture balance, protect the acid mantle and reduce irritation. At Welzo, our Sebamed collection includes cleansers, moisturisers, body washes and targeted treatments designed for everyday skin health.

What Is Sebamed?

Launched in Germany in the 1960s, Sebamed was one of the first skincare brands developed entirely around the concept of maintaining the skin’s natural pH 5.5. This mildly acidic pH is essential for protecting the skin barrier from dryness, dermatitis and environmental damage. Every Sebamed formula is soap-free, alkali-free and dermatologically tested, making it a reliable choice for sensitive skin.

Benefits & Features of Sebamed Skincare

  • pH 5.5 balanced formulas: Maintains the skin’s acid mantle and enhances barrier resilience.
  • Soap-free and alkali-free: Prevents dryness, tightness and irritation associated with harsh cleansers.
  • Dermatologist recommended: Widely used for eczema, dermatitis and hypersensitive skin.
  • Gentle enough for all ages: Suitable for babies, adults and seniors with delicate skin.
  • Clinically validated formulas: Supported by decades of dermatological research and global use.

Why Sebamed Matters for Skin Health

Healthy skin maintains a slightly acidic pH. Many everyday soaps and high-alkaline cleansers disrupt this balance, damaging the lipid barrier and increasing dryness. Sebamed’s pH-balanced range helps preserve microbiome stability, reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and support barrier repair. Dermatologists consistently cite pH maintenance as a core principle in managing sensitive, eczema-prone and irritated skin.

Sebamed pairs naturally with categories such as baby & child skin conditions, dry skin skincare, sensitive skin skincare, skin soothing products and vitamins.
