BROSSARD, April 2, 2026 — Mantra Pharma is proud to announce the acquisition of the Quebec-based company Cutimed, manufacturer of the Cutibase dermatological skincare line, well known among dermatologists and pharmacists and widely distributed in pharmacies across Quebec.

This transaction marks a new step in the development of the Cutibase brand, recognized for its ceramide-based formulations designed to hydrate, soothe and strengthen the skin’s natural protective barrier. “Cutibase is a strong Quebec brand that has earned the trust of pharmacists and consumers over the years,” said Jean-François Letarte, President of Mantra Pharma. “We are proud to support its continued development and to provide a new platform for growth, including the means to gradually expand its presence across Canada.”

Cutimed and the Myriad Pharma team, responsible for the commercialization of Mantra Pharma’s over-the-counter products, have been working closely together since 2012 to develop the Cutibase brand in pharmacies. This relationship of trust and the success achieved together naturally led to this next step.

“Since launching Cutibase, our ambition has always been to build a durable and credible brand for dermatologists and pharmacists,” said Marc Melançon, President of Cutimed. “By entrusting the next phase of its development to Mantra Pharma, we are ensuring that the brand will continue to evolve in a strong environment, with the resources required to support its growth and long-term sustainability.”

Clients and partners can expect full continuity of operations, including supply, commercial agreements and ongoing support.
