Cesra

Cesra is a German pharmaceutical company specializing in the development, production, and commercialization of phytopharmaceuticals and medical cosmetics based on natural active ingredients. Founded in 1929 and headquartered in Baden-Baden, the company offers a diverse portfolio of plant-based products targeting dermatology, chronic venous insufficiency, gastrointestinal complaints, and women's health. Key brands include ilon for skin inflammation, Aescuven for venous disorders, Gasteo for gastrointestinal relief, and Lioran for sleep and anxiety. Uniquely, Cesra operates under an altruistic corporate model where its revenues, unless reinvested into the company, are channeled entirely into the independent humanitarian Redel Foundation to support global aid projects. The company also leverages its high-tech manufacturing capabilities to provide contract manufacturing services to external partners.
