The Eucerin Social Mission Program

At Eucerin, we believe that everyone deserves to feel confident and included, regardless of how their skin appears. The Eucerin Social Mission Program aims at enhancing the life quality of people with visible skin concerns* that suffer from stigmatization and/or social exclusion. Since its inception in 2020 this global initiative has supported different local projects that are generating meaningful change. Our success stems from carefully selecting impactful interventions, collaborating with local experts, and ensuring independent supervision by an external advisory board. In 2025, the journey to social inclusion and fight against skin stigmatization continues as we have set ambitious new targets to expand our reach and deepen our impact.

Our Projects

In collaboration with local organizations around the globe, we are initiating projects that include measures such as coaching opportunities, group learning experiences, and providing access to professional information and advice to support those who suffer from social exclusion and stigmatisation due to their visible skin concerns. All projects are supervised and approved by an independent expert advisory board during their bi-annual meeting to assure they are in line with the social mission framework. This scientific advisory board consists of a dermatologist, a psychologist and a patient organization representative.
