Specializing in skin care products including globally renowned foot creams and facial creams, Laboratoires Asepta has succeeded in distributing internationally to more than 60 countries on five continents. With more than 100 distributors catering to Asepta’s products, including Akileine, Ecrinal, Coup D’Eclat and Vita Citral, these well-known brands have now achieved an international presence. Intimately linked to the Principality of Monaco, Asepta connects its history to the Monte-Carlo Casino, where in the 1930s croupiers presented a request for foot treatments to sooth soreness after hours of standing work. Thus the first products of Asepta were developed, expanding into a product portfolio remedying a wide variety of dermatological ailments. Committed to using only the most effective active ingredients in their products, developers at Asepta carefully monitor the origin and quality of raw materials to ensure top dermatological safety and standards.
