It sustains us, and it’s up to us to sustain it.

Eucerin’s 2025 Ambitions

As a global skincare pioneer, we are redefining our approach to sustainability and are committed to an ambitious agenda. Following four key sustainability ambitions, we pledge to formulate and package the Eucerin products you know and love in a more sustainable way.

    Reducing Virgin Plastic

    Until 2025, we will reduce our fossil-based virgin plastic consumption by ~50%1 compared to 2019, for example by reducing packaging weight and using recycled materials.
