Sesderma is a Spanish dermatology laboratory founded in 1989 by Dr. Gabriel Serrano, a world-renowned dermatologist. At Sesderma, we are dedicated to the research, development and manufacturing of dermocosmetics. And we do so through our highly specialized R+D+I and Nanotechnology.

Our laboratories are inspired by the same values professed by Dr. Gabriel Serrano know how, generosity and humanity the entire company culture is permeated by those principles its approachability, empathy and an ability to listen are what makes us stand out from the competition.
Furthermore, during the company's development, we have always been connected to nature. This connection goes beyond the compounds of its products, based on active ingredients present in our environment and embodied by our logo the butterfly.
Dr. Gabriel Serrano is a butterfly lover, a symbol that has different meanings for Sesderma. Butterflies make transatlantic journeys like the one that took its founder from Colombia to the city of Valencia, and led to the creation of the company. Interestingly, this Latin-American country happens to have the largest number of species in the world.
The butterfly also symbolises change, beauty, sensitivity and magic, and these qualities are present in the Sesderma products. It is a company which, like butterflies do when abandoning their cocoon, was built with the effort and drive to overcome all obstacles.
30 YEARS
INNOVATING AND EXPANDING INTERNATIONALLY
Headquarters
In September 2018, the Sesderma Group opened its new head office in Puzol (Valencia), which has allowed us to gather all our facilities under one roof to resume our growth process and commitment to innovation.
DESIGN AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY
The facade is conceived as the building second skin, with a splash of small holes to modulate the flow of the sun inside the offices. The concept of skin, together with innovation and technology, are the characteristics of Sesderma and the basis for the building design.
Light has an important role here and, through its glazed cladding, it contributes to creating pleasant and comfortable working areas, whilst achieving a high energy efficiency building.
