About Dorsa

One purpose.
One product.
One summer at a time.

Brand Story

Dorsa is a Swiss sun care brand built on a single clinical insight: the back is where skin cancer strikes most frequently in men, and the one area the human body cannot reliably protect on its own.

Every summer, the gap between intention and action in back sun protection costs lives — not through negligence, but through anatomy, availability, and the absence of a solution at the point of need. Dorsa closes that gap.

The name DORSA comes from the Latin dorsum — meaning back. It is precise, medical, and pan-European. A name that works as naturally in a Swiss pharmacy as it does in a Stockholm hotel room or a Barcelona apartment.

Dorsa is developed and conceived in Switzerland. It is held to the highest standard of European cosmetics compliance and product safety. It is built for everyone whose back has ever gone unprotected — not because they forgot, but because no solution was available at the moment they needed it.

That changes now.

Founder Note

A note from the founder.

DORSA was founded by a Swiss-based entrepreneur with a PhD in chemistry and experience building products in the Swiss ecosystem. The idea came from a simple personal frustration — the same frustration experienced by millions of people every summer, everywhere the sun shines. A problem so obvious it seemed impossible that no one had solved it properly. DORSA is that solution.
