Union Swiss is an international skincare company. Established in 1954, the company has over its history developed and marketed numerous skincare products. Union Swiss launched Bio-Oil, a world-first for the treatment of scar and stretch marks, in 1987. In 2004, the company divested of all its other brands to focus exclusively on the global rollout of Bio-Oil. Today Bio-Oil is available in 22 countries across five continents, and is the market leader in its category in 20 of these markets. In 2007 Union Swiss began development work on three new skincare products that are set for global launch in 2011.
