Ducray was born in the 1930s, in France, by the hands of Albert Ducray, a son of a dermatologist who realized the poor quality of shampoos available in the market at that time. Making a point to use the most specialized ingredients available, Albert Ducray launched the first line of dermo-cosmetic shampoos in order to restore and preserve the health and beauty of the hair and scalp. Today, the brand has expanded to include skin, body, and hair care products that address common concerns with pharmacological precision.
