Dr. Wolff Research: Traditionally innovative
Every day, the team at Dr. Wolff Research lives up to its commitment to develop innovations and improve products. This has always been our objective. When Dr. August Wolff established his pharmaceutical company in 1905, it was his guiding principle to keep optimising products on a continual basis. This principle still applies today.
The connection of care and effectiveness
Dr. August Wolff had a revolutionary idea. The chemist and pharmacist wanted his products to be more than just hair styling aids. He wanted to make an important contribution to keeping both scalp and hair healthy. With this objective, Dr. August Wolff performed intensive research and successfully developed hair care therapeutics.
The birth of Alpecin – and the start of a small revolution
His first Alpecin product revolutionized hair care in 1930. For the first time, people could groom their hair while simultaneously doing something against dandruff and hair loss* (the brand name Alpecin is derived from "alopecia," the Latin word for hair loss). At the time, the company was already collaboratingclosely with leading scientists. We are continuing this tradition: Today, Dr. Wolff Research still closely collaborates with renowned partners in science and has established a research network with leading university clinics in Jena, Hamburg-Eppendorf, Berlin, Lübeck and Rome.
