Revolutionizing Skin Barrier Care with 30 Years of Research & Development

Zeitschild’s Ortholamellar Technology (OLT®) is a scientifically validated skin barrier repair technology, patented in over 40 countries.

It was not developed overnight but is the result of more than 30 years of scientific research and innovation, bringing together the expertise and experience of the world’s leading dermatology specialists.

The Birth of Kuhs GmbH and DMS Technology

1994: The Establishment of Kuhs GmbH Derma Systems and the Development of DMS Technology
In Lörrach, Germany, Kuhs GmbH Derma Systems was founded, focusing on the research of skin barrier repair technology.

The company successfully developed DMS (Derma Membrane Structure) technology, an innovative approach that mimics the skin’s natural lipid structure, effectively repairing and strengthening damaged skin barriers.

The Successful Application of DMS Technology

DMS technology quickly became a groundbreaking innovation in the field of skincare and was licensed to several internationally renowned brands, including:

Physiogel® (owned by Stiefel Laboratories, Inc.): A star product designed for dry and sensitive skin.

Restylane® (Q-Med AB): A major innovation in the field of hyaluronic acid fillers.

Bepanthen Sensiderm® (Bayer AG): A skincare product specially designed for eczema and sensitive skin.

Mederma® (Merz Pharmaceuticals GmbH): A specialized skincare product for scar treatment.

The Birth of OLT Technology

Technological Innovation: From DMS to OLT®

After the acquisition by GSK, the research and development team continued to focus on advancing skin barrier technology, leading to the introduction of Ortholamellar Technology (OLT®).

Compared to DMS, OLT® more precisely mimics the skin’s hexagonal and orthorhombic structures, delivering faster and longer-lasting repair effects.
This technology is applied to various skin concerns, including eczema, psoriasis, and post-cancer treatment skin care.

The founding of Zeitschild

To promote OLT® technology and focus on the care of sensitive and diseased skin, Zeitschild GmbH was established, dedicated to providing the most innovative skin repair solutions.

In 2023, the brand hosted the first ASEAN Summit in Bangkok, where it fully showcased its OLT® technology across the Asia-Pacific region and engaged in in-depth exchanges with dermatology experts and medical institutions.
