The Swedish Skin Care Story
Our story began in Sweden in 1993 with a brilliant scientist, an innovative idea, and a commitment to helping people achieve healthier, more comfortable skin.
The Legacy of Dr. Hugo Wikholm
Long before skincare trends dominated store shelves, Swedish biochemist Dr. Hugo Wikholm, Ph.D., was pursuing a different vision—one rooted in the belief that effective skincare didn't have to rely on harsh ingredients.
His pioneering research ultimately led to the invention of Prosanol—a breakthrough technology that earned patents in both the United States and Canada.

Driven by a passion for creating gentle yet effective skincare solutions, Dr. Wikholm challenged conventional thinking and spent decades pushing the boundaries of innovation.
At a time when many of his peers believed meaningful skincare results required harsh ingredients or traditional drug-based approaches, Dr. Wikholm pursued a different path. He believed that carefully selected cosmetic ingredients could be formulated to support the skin's natural protective functions and restorative processes while providing lasting hydration and exceptional skin compatibility.
His pioneering research ultimately led to the invention of Prosanol—a breakthrough technology that earned patents in both the United States and Canada. While the patents recognized the innovation, the greatest validation came from the countless customers who have made Prosanol part of their daily skincare routine for decades.
Although Dr. Wikholm is no longer with us, his scientific curiosity, commitment to innovation, and dedication to helping people continue to inspire Swedish Skin Care today.
