More detailsWhen we talk about Cooper, we’re not just talking about a lab like any other. We’re talking about a pioneer, born from a forward-thinking idea: pooling the expertise of passionate pharmacists to offer products of impeccable quality. It all began in 1905 with Albert Salmon, a visionary pharmacist from Melun. By 1907, 750 professionals had already joined forces, giving rise to the French Pharmaceutical Cooperative, which would soon become Cooper.
Starting in the 1920s, the company continued to expand with the acquisition of Meram Laboratories, the opening of branches in Paris, Brive, and Lille, and even the establishment of a presence in Belgium. It established its own chemical and biological analysis laboratory, a testament to its scientific rigor. The historic headquarters in Melun, built in 1947, still symbolizes today the company’s deep roots in the region and the continuity of its unwavering commitment.
Cooper has been a presence in French pharmacies for a century, with a unique ability to adapt, innovate, and, above all, remain closely attuned to the real needs of pharmacists.
Since its founding, Cooper has never wavered in its belief in the strength of the pharmacy network. And it is undoubtedly this strong bond with pharmacists that makes all the difference. Today, 76% of its business is dedicated to community pharmacies, a testament to its commitment. Whether for everyday treatments,orthopedic products, medical devices, or aseptic products, pharmacists can count on a reliable, safe, and tailored selection.
Cooper is also known for iconic products such as Doliprane, successfully launched in 1977, and Mag 2,the go-to magnesium supplement since 1974. The acquisition of Dakin in 1990—a leader in hospital antiseptics—confirmed the company’s expertise in the disinfection sector.
And because innovation goes hand in hand with foresight, Cooper has distinguished itself with groundbreaking launches such as Venimex (venom extraction pump), Actipoche (thermotherapy), and Pouxit, the first insecticide-free lice treatment to become the market leader.
While Cooper is deeply rooted in France, it has not limited itself to staying there. Thanks to its two production sites in Seine-et-Marne, the company has become a major player in pharmaceutical packaging in Europe. Liquids, powders, ointments, gels, emulsions… nothing escapes its fully automated production lines, which ensure safety and consistency.
It is also one of the few European specialists in the production of double-ended ampoules, a highly technical field that now accounts for 50% of its business. This niche expertise is essential for compounding pharmacies.
But that’s not all: Cooper also offers tubes, dropper bottles, flexible packaging, and multi-format options to meet all market demands. All while strictly adhering to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Good Distribution Practices (GDP). Each product is analyzed, tested, and comes with a certificate of conformity. This level of rigor inspires confidence.
Because babies’ skin deserves special care, Cooper has developed the Babysoin line—a complete range of dermo-pediatric skincare products specially formulated for infants and young children.
Babysoin liniment, rich in olive oil and beeswax, effectively protects the skin on the bottom by forming a waterproof barrier. The result? Less irritation, less redness, and soft, nourished skin.
Babysoin sweet almond oil is ideal for moisturizing and soothing babies’ delicate skin, as well as gently removing cradle cap from the scalp.
And what about Babysoin talcum powder? Applied sparingly, it absorbs moisture, prevents diaper rash, and soothes irritation. A must-have in the bathroom… for the whole family!
What makes Cooper so strong is the consistency between its founding values and its current actions. The company has always made it a point of honor to provide reliable, effective, and accessible products. It doesn’t just seek to sell; it aims to support healthcare professionals in their daily practice.
Through tools such as the Allo Galien website—entirely dedicated to compounding—and by providing high-quality raw materials, Cooper remains a pillar of the pharmacy world.
In short, Cooper embodies a humanistic and pragmatic vision of healthcare, where every product is designed to provide real benefits to the patient.
