Science is in our DNA
We have been the anti-fungal experts since the 1960s, when Bayer reached the breakthrough of developing clotrimazole, an active anti-fungal ingredient. A few years later, Clotrimazole was registered in Germany and launched under the brand name Canesten. We were the first to craft the original clotrimazole product that is not only effective at treating fungal infections, but also tackles its root cause. Then we created new product formats to deliver this powerful ingredient in various formats so that everyone can find a product that best suits their needs.
To date we've conducted numerous clinical studies and use a variety of methods to ensure our products are safe and effective. Our story doesn't finish here, though.
