Top research for healthy scalps – for three generations
How to maintain a healthy scalp – for a lifetime of healthy hair?
This question and the quest for continuously improved products guide us ever since Dr. August Wolff established his pharmaceutical company in 1905.
The chemist and pharmacist had a revolutionary idea. According to his vision, his products would not just be hair styling aids but make an important contribution to maintaining the health of both scalp and hair. With this objective, Dr. August Wolff conducted his research and developed many successful therapeutic hair care products.
In 1930, his first Alpecin revolutionized hair care. For the first time, it was possible to combine hair care with the treatment of scalp irritation and hair loss (the brand name creates an association with “alopecia”= Latin for hair loss).
Even back then, the company closely collaborated with leading scientists; e.g. Prof. Dr. med. Carl Bruck contributed a method for incorporating seven valuable ingredients in Alpecin and that also stabilizes them based on special maturity processes – a pioneering achievement at the time.
The collaboration with Prof. Bruck laid the foundation for the intensive exchange between the areas of science, medicine and practical application. Dr. Kurt Wolff continued his father’s commitment to ensure that Alpecin products are always based on the latest scientific findings.
In memory of his achievements, our company operates its own laboratories today under the name of Dr. Kurt Wolff-Research.
And the research has paid off: Who would have thought in 1905 that there would ever be a product, which – when applied in the morning – could protect an individual for 24 hours against hereditary hair loss? This achievement is only possible, because Dr. Kurt Wolff-Research and the collaborating universities tirelessly search for new solutions – and find them: Like the recently launched new caffeine complex against hair loss.
