Laboratoires Leadersanté

Laboratoires Leadersanté is a French pharmaceutical group established in 2007, specializing in developing and distributing private label products primarily for pharmacies. It is part of the Leadersanté group, which is a coalition of over 900 independent pharmacies across France. The laboratories focus on health and wellness product lines including cosmetics, dermocosmetics, and other pharmaceutical preparations.

The group has a strong emphasis on innovation and product quality, supported by ten dedicated R&D entities specialized in their domains. This approach is designed to respond effectively to patient needs and expectations, integrating consumer feedback and active pharmacist involvement throughout the product development process via quarterly workshops known as "ateliers Leadersanté."

Leadersanté develops around 400 references through seven distinct brands, with a catalog that recently expanded by 26 new products in 2023. Their products aim to balance quality with cost-effectiveness and margin considerations, reducing pharmacy dependence on national brands by offering selective, competitive alternatives in health and beauty care. Popular products include items like creamy shower gels "Vanille des Iles" and "Elixir d'Argan."

As part of the group's broader strategy, Leadersanté supports its pharmacy network with digital transformation initiatives, including internal management tools and a consumer-facing mobile application facilitating prescription transfer, store locator services, and click & collect transactions. During the COVID-19 pandemic, additional features such as booking appointments for PCR tests and vaccinations were incorporated.

The company operates mainly within France, serving a large network of pharmacy selling points, including supermarkets and convenience stores under the group’s umbrella. The network provides promotional and merchandising support, training (via Leadersanté Academy), and a tailored product range to enhance the pharmacy retail experience and boost turnover.

Financially, Laboratoires Leadersanté turnover is estimated in the range of 10 to 50 million euros as of 2023. The company employs approximately 50 to 99 people in France and is distributed through over 1000 selling points, primarily pharmacies associated with Leadersanté. The group continues to focus its strategy on health, beauty, and wellness, positioning itself as a key partner and supplier for pharmacies seeking a diverse and innovative private label portfolio.
