Care for your skin & for our environment

Our story

Dermeco was founded with a clear mission: to tackle the environmental challenges posed by traditional wound care products. Conventional hydrocolloid dressings can take hundreds of years to decompose, leaving behind harmful microplastics that accumulate in ecosystems. Recognizing this pressing issue, two industrial designers, Heini Isoaho and Roosa Kivivuori, envisioned creating the world’s first ecological hydrocolloid dressing.

Founded in Finland in 2019, Dermeco has rapidly evolved into a global leader in driving sustainability in healthcare. With innovative technology supported by multiple granted and pending patents, Dermeco stands at the forefront of ecological advancements in wound care.

In 2024, Sami Oinas joined the Dermeco team as CEO. With over 20 years of international experience in pharmaceuticals, specializing in consumer healthcare and medical devices, Sami brings invaluable expertise to the team. Under his leadership, Dermeco is introducing its ecological hydrocolloid dressings to the global market, partnering with healthcare companies to enhance their product offerings and promote sustainability across the industry.
