Sebamed is a German brand name of Sebapharma GmbH & Co. KG, which manufactures medicinal skin care products.

Before Sebamed, Dr. Maurer worked in the dermatological department of the University Clinic Bonn in Germany and was in charge of patients with acute eczema.

[9] Sebamed products have been included in over 150 scientific studies to support the brand's formulations and are recognized by dermatologists, pharmacists, drugstores, and consumers throughout the world.

"[12] In April 2009, Sebamed won a trademark lawsuit in Indonesia against a local businessman, prohibiting the use of the name Seba.

Human skin has a natural hydrolipid barrier, an acid mantle, which retains moisture and lipids while blocking germs, toxins, bacteria, and other outside factors.

Problematic skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, and rosacea, have impaired barrier functions and can have a pH different than 5.5.

By pioneering the first soap-free cleansing bar, Maurer showed that eczema patients can wash regularly without affecting the acid mantle.
