Anna Lotan
How It All Began
Product Development – The “Ferment-Based Gel”
Among her most famous developments was the “Ferment-Based Gel. Having come from the cooler climates of Europe, Anna was puzzled by the widespread use of hot steam devices to prepare the skin for deep cleansing. She often said: “It is better to avoid heating problematic, oily, or inflamed skin—it only worsens the condition. Besides, steam softens the skin only briefly and not enough for a thorough cleansing.”Her solution was to develop a high-quality, transparent aloe vera gel (without artificial colors), which provided excellent hydration through a cold process. She named it “Fermentation Gel”—even if her Hebrew at the time was imperfect, cosmeticians immediately understood the term, and the product quickly earned a reputation. Its effectiveness soon rendered steam machines obsolete.
Anna Lotan Ltd. began in the 1978s as a small professional laboratory, established to supply products for Anna Lotan’s students and clients. What started with a few pioneering formulations, quickly expanded as demand grew.
During the 1980s the laboratory developed into an organized company, producing a broader range of products tailored for professional use in clinics. By the 1990s Anna Lotan Ltd. had become a recognized cosmetics manufacturer, exporting internationally while maintaining its focus on sensitive and problem skin.
