ABSTRACT
Eucerit, now more commonly known as Eucerin, was a revolutionary emulsion developed more than 100 years ago that is still popular and in common use today. The initial formulation is still the basis for a relevant global product line that holds significant market share today. The concept for Eucerin was originally developed in Germany by Dr Isaac Lifschütz, who helped develop Eucerin, meaning "beautiful wax," in 1898. The ointment was very smooth, allowing Eucerin to develop as a stable emulsion. Eucerin was revolutionary and outperformed all of its predecessors in emulsion stability, moisturizing ability, its ability to resist degradation, and its cost-effectiveness.1.
