It all begins with the thorough understanding of skin

We have listened to how dry, sensitive skin makes people feel and how it can affect their lives. We believe that everyone deserves to feel well in their own skin every day. That is what our team at Curél® is working towards.

Our research on sensitive skin began even before it became a common term. In 1976, a new research lab was established at the corporate Kao institute in Japan to learn more about our skin structure.

Our long and extensive research on dermatology led us to the fact that dry, sensitive skin is caused by a lack of ceramide.

Superior Ceramide Care

Curél is the culmination of extensive dermatological research. It takes into consideration the skin's moisture and natural barrier functions to provide safe and effective solutions through careful formulation.
Research proves that the Curél hydrating & penetrating moisture-retaining ceramide care system improves dryness in the skin. 


Our Promise on Quality

Our commitment to people with dry, sensitive skin problems is one of confidence, safety and reassurance.

Every two hours, a sample from the production line is taken to be tested on factors such as ingredients, colour, odour, and a skin application assessment, to ensure that every component of product compliance is achieved. From manufacturing to packaging, Curél maintains stringent "aseptic standard" that is comparable to those used in pharmaceutical and food production.
