Histori

Sudocrem was developed in 1931 by a pharmacist based in Dublin, Thomas Smith. It was originally called "Smith's Cream", then "Soothing Cream". The name was changed to Sudocrem in 1950 because of the pronounced Dublin accent of a soothing cream. During the 1960s, Sudocrem samples given to new mothers in Ireland increased the popularity of products and brands gradually introduced to the UK in the 1970s. The maker claims it as the leading diaper rash cream in Ireland and the UK.

Sudocrem is still (2015) produced in Dublin (in Baldoyle). An Independent Irish 2012 article says: "Sudocrem is a spice and bacon skincare cream, Guinness relief diaper soft rash and Tayto from topical ointment," following reports in British and Irish media that celebrities are using this product to treat acne..

There are now three products of Sudocrem brand available in the UK: original antiseptic healing cream, Sudocrem Care and Protect which is the prevention of diaper rash and Sudocrem Skin Care Cream which is a daily acne cream aimed at the youth market.
