Pioneering the Selfcare Movement
Our History
Founded in 1907 as la Coopération Pharmaceutique française just outside of Paris, our story began with a clear mission: making effective healthcare accessible to everyone.
From launching iconic products to strategic acquisitions that expanded our reach across Europe, we've spent over a century building trust with consumers and pharmacists alike. Today, Cooper Consumer Health stands as Europe's largest independent selfcare platform, serving millions.
Although our business and brand portfolio have significantly evolved over the years, our founding purpose as a company remains unchanged: helping people to take charge of their health with effective solutions they can trust.
Our Purpose
True wellbeing lives in the everyday moments when people take charge of their own health: reaching for the right remedy, maintaining daily wellness routines, and making informed healthcare choices.
This is the heart of selfcare - and it's why we exist.
For over a century, we've built trusted solutions through rigorous research, sustainable practices, and empowered teams, which combine to fuel innovation in selfcare. When our teams thrive, the benefits multiply: individuals gain confidence and control, families feel more secure and healthcare systems can focus resources where they're needed most.
Empowering Healthier Living isn't just our purpose; it's our promise to create a world where effective selfcare is both achievable and accessible for everyone.
