The origin of Aok is situated in the natural environment of the Baltic Sea. Since 1885 the skin care brand Aok implements nature as the source of beauty. On this basis Aok develops effective and caring products for a pure skin in every stage of life.

Therefore the three letters of the brand name stand for the pharmacist Anhalt (‘A’); for Ostsee (‘o’) – the German word for Baltic sea – and for Kolberg (‘K’). Today, Aok is a major player in the German skin care market.
