Kryolan history

For over 60 years, Kryolan has been a manufacturer of professional make-up for theater, film and television worldwide.

The company has also been involved in the beauty sector for many years. With an area of 5000m², the headquarters in the north of Berlin has been a contact point for make-up artists and make-up artists since 1971.

Since its humble beginnings, the site has been continuously expanded and developed. More than 240 employees in Berlin and Zehlendorf as well as the international locations in Poland, England, USA, India and Bangladesh are committedto the Kryolan Professional Make-up brand and strive daily to meet all customer requirements.

Today, Kryolan Professional Make-up serves customers in more than 70 countries on all continents of the world and is a recognized brand for professional make-up artists. The name Kryolan and its associated trademarks stand for professional expertise, high product quality, exceptional variety, professionalism, flexibility and tradition. In the company's own laboratories at its headquarters in Berlin, qualified chemists are continuously working on the development of new products, as well as on the possible applications of innovative, skin-caring raw materials.

With the experience of more than 6 decades, Kryolan Professional Make-up particularly understands the hardships and problems of professional make-up artists of theater, film, television and beauty. The Kryolan brand stands for international professional make-up worldwide. More than 16,000 different products in 750 different shades are available to users. The availability of products is of high importance for the professional make-up artist. Kryolan products are available worldwide.

How does professional makeup differ from everyday decorative cosmetics? Professional make-up products have to meet a whole range of requirements, such as colors suitable for the stage or camera, good adhesion to the performer, particularly good skin compatibility and color continuity over many years. Good color intensity, international applicability and high product safety, which must be met in the best possible way. Theatrical make-up should make the actor appear believable in the respective role under stage lighting in accordance with the character.

In close cooperation with make-up artists, Kryolan produces an extensive range of colors that meet this requirement. These colors often appear atypical to the layman, but under the stage lights they give the theatergoer the appropriate illusion. Cameras recognize colors differently than the human eye. This requires a series of skin tones adapted to this technique. The adhesion of the makeup is very significant for the makeup artist. Reapplication of makeup during a day of shooting must be kept to the absolute minimum because it delays the shoot. An actor literally wears his skin to market. An appearance without makeup is almost unthinkable for him.

The compatibility of the product used must therefore be guaranteed. Kryolan has always set very high quality standards. All raw materials used not only comply with the purity regulations for cosmetics, but wherever available, we use pharmaceutical or food grade qualities. The excellent compatibility has been proven byvoluntary dermatological clinical tests in each case before the market launch of the respective product. The Dermacolor Camouflage System is also a highlight of the range. dar. The strong covering make-up for skin anomalies, tattoos, etc.

In the now more than 70 years, Kryolan has never tested on animals. The desired color continuity over years is not always easy to achieve. The color pigments sourced from Germany, France, England and the USA sometimes have differences in intensities that can lead to color deviations in the final product. In addition, European and American regulatory changes have replaced established colors with new ones. As a result, countless recipes have had to be reformulated, and not in all cases is it always possible to reproduce the desired shade fully satisfactorily.

Kryolan is aware of this problem for the make-up artist. In order to better ensure the continuity of colors, a technique rarely used for cosmetics has been installed in the Kryolan laboratory. Many skin tones are now controlled with the help of a photospectrometer, also known as a colorimeter, and the results of the measurements are evaluated by means of software adapted to this purpose.

Theatrical make-up is generally expected to provide good coveragewithout having to apply the product too thickly. Kryolan meets these requirements thanks to a high proportion of particularly finely ground pigments.

In addition to 9 rolling mills and 2 powder mills, micronization technology is available for production. Unfortunately, the legislation regulating the use of raw materials varies from country to country.

With Kryolan's Ultrafoundation series, a global product range has been developed that the make-up artist can easily use worldwide. High product safety means the quality guarantee of the products.

Here, Kryolan has also earned a recognized reputation internationally, and we are aware of the trust that our customers place in us.
With new product and sales ideas, the team wants to further strengthen the Kryolan brand and underline the claim of the leading product line for professional make-up artists worldwide.

The international orientation of the company will become even more important.

As a distributor with 25 years of Kryolan product experience, we see our role as passing on the proven Kryolan quality with product sales, consulting and training.

Arnold Langer, founder of Kryolan GmbH

Kryolan founder Arnold Langer was a great role model for us. In our more than 20 years of business partnership, the gleam in his eyes has always inspired us and inspired us to new ideas. Over 70 years ago, he turned his visions of professional theatrical makeup into reality and built a formidable family business from NOTHING after World War II. With endless perseverance and an inexhaustible belief in himself, he brought the company to the top of the rankings of professional makeup manufacturers.

In 2018, he left us and passed on his legacy of inspirations to us. Kryolan GmbH is now run by son Wolfram Langer and his grandsons, Sebastian Lang er and Dominik Lang er.

We look forward to a long time together with Kryolan and will never forget Arnold Langer.
