QV Skincare

QV Skincare is the brainchild of Ego Pharmaceuticals (Ego), which was founded in 1953 by young chemist, Gerald Oppenheim, and his wife, Rae, a nurse.

It was in response to a request from the dermatology ward of Melbourne’s iconic Queen Victoria Hospital, that Gerald Oppenheim created a specialist skincare product that would later become known as QV Bath Oil (named in honour of the hospital).

The QV range consists of a variety of products. Each product contains a mixture of moisturising ingredients that help to increase skin hydration and reduce water loss. 

Everything that goes into QV products has been carefully considered to help reduce potential irritants and increase its skin-friendly credentials, as common ingredients such as soap, colour and fragrance can be irritating to the skin.
