Made in Germany since 1949 · Available in South Africa through authorised salons and Healthy Skin Solutions
Trade and stockists
Doctor Eckstein has been made by one family in Oberasbach, Germany, since 1949. In South Africa, it is available through trained salons rather than on retail shelves. If you run a salon, spa or skin clinic, this is how the range works — and where you can find it.
The range
The South African range covers cleansing, toning, serums, eye care, day and night care, masks and targeted treatment. A therapist builds a regimen from it rather than selling a single jar.
Why salons carry it
Four skincare goals and ten common skin conditions. You as a therapist recommend products based on the condition you can see, making your recommendation a professional judgement rather than a sales pitch.
Dr Richard Eckstein founded the company in Oberasbach, Germany. The laboratory is still there, still family-owned, three generations on. Products and packaging are made in Germany.
The range reaches customers through trained salons and one authorised online retailer. What you stock is not being undercut down the road by a chain.
Cleanse, tone, treat, moisturise, protect — a regimen, not a single hero product. A client who starts on one step and sees the results will always come back for the next.
Distribution
Morenga Cosmetics is the authorised Doctor Eckstein distributor for South Africa and Namibia, based in Sunninghill, Johannesburg. Consumers who are not near a salon buy from Healthy Skin Solutions, the authorised online retailer. Everything else goes through trained professionals.
Trade pricing, product training and account setup are arranged directly with Bevinn King, director of Morenga Cosmetics
