The story of Galderma Daylong™ has its origins in 1948, when Dr. Hugo Spirig took over the family pharmacy, a historic establishment that had been in business since 1907. With a clear vision and a passion for health, he transformed this small pharmacy into an innovative company, Spirig AG. Spirig AG soon became a major player in the development of pharmaceutical preparations, thanks to its scientific expertise and commitment to quality. This solid foundation marks the start of an exceptional journey that will lead to the creation of the Daylong™ range.
Sun protection entered a new era in 1993 with the launch of Daylong™ 16 sun cream. This unique product immediately won over Swiss consumers thanks to its pleasant application, high water resistance, and ability to offer reliable protection against UV rays. At a time when concerns about the ozone layer and the harmful effects of the sun were beginning to emerge, Daylong™ positioned itself as a pioneer in dermatological sun protection.
By 1995, Daylong™ had become the market leader in Swiss pharmacies and drugstores. The brand rapidly expands its range, notably with the launch of Daylong™ Après, an after-sun milk designed to rehydrate and regenerate the skin after exposure. These strategic additions reinforce Daylong™'s reputation as a trusted brand, approved by both consumers and healthcare professionals.
Over the years, Daylong™ has continually innovated to meet the varied needs of users. In 2003, the brand launched Daylong™ Extreme 50+, specially formulated for extreme weather conditions, while in 2007, Daylong™ Kids was introduced, offering targeted protection for children's sensitive skin. Each product testifies to the brand's commitment to skin health and customer satisfaction.
In 2013, building on its success in Switzerland, Daylong™ expands its reach and becomes available in over 40 countries. Despite its international expansion, the brand remains true to its Swiss roots, continuing to invest in sustainable production processes and environmentally friendly formulations. Between 2010 and 2019, Galderma is reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 52% per tonne of product and achieving the ambitious goal of zero production waste to landfill.
Since 2020, Daylong™ has offered innovative solutions such as Daylong™ Face SPF 50+, designed to prevent sun-induced skin aging while offering protection against UVA, UVB and infrared rays. Daylong™ Sport SPF 50+ completes this offering, guaranteeing optimal sun protection for athletes. In 2021, Daylong™ reinforces its role as a world leader in the development of innovative suncare solutions, while modernizing its image with a rethought design to meet consumer expectations.
