DERMATOLOGY - OVERVIEW

The Dermatology Business Unit has evolved out of our core established products business and has allowed Alliance to broaden its portfolio through the acquisition of selected dermatological products. These include treatments for eczema, psoriasis, ichthyosis, acne, warts and irritated skin.

The acquisition and subsequent promotion of the Hydromol range has proved particularly successful with sales tripling over the last 4 years. The HYDROMOL Range consists of HYDROMOL Bath and Shower Emollient (light liquid paraffin & isopropyl myristate), HYDROMOL Cream (sodium pyrrolidone carboxylate), HYDROMOL Ointment (yellow soft paraffin & emulsifying wax) and HYDROMOL Intensive (urea).

Further information can be found on the HYDROMOL website www.hydromol.co.uk

The addition of TIMODINE to the dermatology business in 2009 is an example of Alliance’s continued ambition to expand its portfolio and establish itself in the dermatology market.
