What is Babor known about?

Babor is the main brand of the German Babor Beauty Group, a cosmetics company from Aachen. The history begins with chemist Michael Babor, who in 1955 received a patent for HY-ÖL, a water-in-oil emulsion promoted as a "water-friendly oil". A year later he founded the company Dr. Babor GmbH in Cologne.

From Cologne to Aachen

  • 1962: the Vossen family from Aachen acquired 90 percent of the shares.
  • 1966: the logo with the black rose, whose stem passes through the O of Babor, was registered as a trademark.
  • 1977: the company moved to the Eilendorf district of Aachen, where development, production and storage come together.
  • 1982: founding of Babor Cosmetics in the United States, followed by branches in Belgium and the Netherlands, among other countries.

Skincare through the salon

Babor makes care for the face, body, hands and feet, as well as sun protection, make-up and fragrances, and partly uses regional raw materials. The brand is traditionally sold through partner beauty salons, wellness hotels and spas, supplemented by retail partners and online sales. Babor is available in more than 70 countries and is a family business that has been run by the third generation of the owning family since 2014.
