Ego Pharmaceuticals

🚨 Exciting News from Ego! 🚨 We are thrilled to announce that the equipment for our new Cream Filling Line has just arrived! 🎉 This marks a significant milestone in our decade-long plan to boost production capacity and meet the growing global demand from consumers and patients. With this state-of-the-art machine, we can double our capacity for the entire range of bottled QV body products, including not just QV Cream, but also QV Gentle Wash, and QV Skin Lotion. Key Highlights: 🔹 Precision Temperature Control: Our creams fill best within a narrow temperature range, and this machine is specially designed to maintain that. 🔹 Heavyweight Champion: The machine weighs a whopping 7,300 kg - that's the equivalent of 10 Grand Pianos! 🎹 🔹 German Engineering: Manufactured by Tolke in Lohne, Germany, this rotary, bottom-up, net weight filling machine combines rare functions that perfectly suit the unique properties of our products. We’re excited to take this next step in our journey and continue providing high-quality products to our valued customers. #EgoPharmaceuticals #ProductionCapacity #GlobalDemand #Innovation #QualityControl #GermanEngineering #QVBodyRange #SkincareInnovation

Today is International Self-Care Day!  For us, self-care is about medicines, including skincare, but it's also about practices, habits and lifestyle choices. We believe that good quality skincare that is backed by science should be affordable and accessible to all, so that it can be part of self-care practices for everyone.  What does self-care mean to you?

We're committed to reducing our production waste, so now we're also recycling our label backing paper, turning it into tissue paper that's used for clothing and footwear packaging. This is helping divert tonnes of waste from landfill, and saving hundreds of fully grown trees!
