Riemann A/S (a Part of Orkla Health)

What Riemann A/S (a Part of Orkla Health) does

Riemann A/S is a Danish personal care products manufacturer founded in 1979 and headquartered with its production facility in Hillerød, Denmark. It operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Orkla Health, the health-focused division of Norwegian conglomerate Orkla. The company's product portfolio is narrow and focused: the Perspirex anti-perspirant series targets individuals with hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating, and P20 suncream is formulated specifically for sensitive-skin sun protection. Both product lines address functional, niche personal-care needs rather than mass-market beauty, and Riemann positions its value proposition on specialized formulation expertise rather than breadth.

The business model is straightforward B2C consumer goods: Riemann manufactures and sells through retail, pharmacy, and consumer health distribution channels, with its products reaching "millions" of end users worldwide. Its technology is rooted in specialized skincare formulation chemistry — domain expertise in sweat-control and sensitive-skin sun protection — with no disclosed software, digital platform, or AI components. The firm operates with approximately 67 employees and a single manufacturing site, and does not have independent external investors or venture capital backing. Revenue, pricing, and channel-specific details are not publicly disclosed in available sources.

Riemann sits within Orkla Health's Functional Personal Care vertical alongside adjacent categories such as food supplements, oral care, and wound care, giving it access to parent-group distribution, regulatory, and brand-management infrastructure across multiple European markets and beyond. The company's strategic posture is best characterized as a stable, brand-heritage specialty manufacturer being optimized within a diversified parent's portfolio rather than as an independent growth-stage business.

Broad incumbents

• L'Oréal (La Roche-Posay, Vichy): L'Oréal's active beauty division houses La Roche-Posay and Vichy, both of which compete in dermatology-grade sun protection and sensitive-skin skincare adjacent to Riemann's P20 franchise.
• Galderma: Pure-play dermatology company with consumer skincare lines (Cetaphil, Differin) targeting sensitive skin; overlaps with Riemann's sensitive-skin positioning and OTC dermatology channel.

• Beiersdorf AG: German multinational behind Eucerin, NIVEA, and Coppertone. Eucerin competes directly with P20 in the sensitive-skin sun protection and dermatology skincare categories where Riemann operates.
