ACO

ACO (Apotekens Composita) is a leading Nordic skincare and pharmaceutical company founded in 1939 in Sweden. Originally established by the Swedish Pharmaceutical Society to provide quality-assured pharmacy products, the company specializes in scientifically developed dermacosmetics and medicinal skincare solutions tailored for the Nordic climate. Its extensive portfolio includes well-known brands such as ACO, Cosmica, Cliniderm, and Miniderm, which address a wide range of needs from daily face and body care to specialized treatments for acne, eczema, and sun protection. ACO operates its own research and development laboratory, focusing on pure, carefully selected ingredients with proven efficacy and safety. In 2025, Karo Healthcare announced the acquisition of ACO from Perrigo, a strategic move that enhances its presence in the European consumer healthcare market.
