BABOR History

The BABOR story is a story full of innovations. The beauty revolution began in 1955 when Dr. Michael Babor patented the unmatched HY Oil.
When Dr. Babor Ltd. was founded in Cologne a year later, it kicked off the beginning of a new era in institute cosmetics. Dr. Michael Babor chose the rose as the company symbol. The purchase of the company by the Vossen family in Aachen was another milestone for BABOR. The businessman Dr. Leo Vossen, a devotee of natural beauty, led the company on location in Aachen with great enthusiasm. He thus lay the foundation stone for the sustainable success of the Babor brand.

For Dr. Leo Vossen, skin care products that are in harmony with nature, that enhance well-being and bring out individual beauty were the trend of the future. They were also part of a responsible and sustainable company philosophy.
In addition to natural products and innovative active ingredients, BABOR has always attached great importance to quality as well as in-house research and development. To this day holistic high-tech treatment concepts are being developed at the headquarters in Aachen using the best nature has to offer and the most innovative scientific discoveries; concepts that regularly attract attention.
