In the bustling city of Accra, a young pharmacist named Sylvester Joseph Azumah dared to dream beyond the confines of conventional pharmaceutical practice. Today, he stands at the helm of Crane Pharma, a thriving company celebrated for its advanced herbal formulation, the Dermostick Triple Action Ointment, a product that is redefining natural skin care in Ghana and beyond.

A Seed of Inspiration

Sylvester’s journey began during his pharmacognosy course at pharmacy school, where he was introduced to the wonders of natural medicine. Enthralled by the rich heritage of Ghanaian herbal remedies, he was equally disheartened by the dominance of synthetic, chemical-laden products in the market. These products, while effective, often posed risks of long-term adverse effects on the skin. This realization sparked a vision: to create a 100% natural, effective, and safe herbal ointment that would bridge the gap between tradition and modern science.

Partnering with his pharmacy school colleagues, Pharm Robert Hayford and Pharm Jerry Afram, Sylvester embarked on a groundbreaking project under the mentorship of Prof. Amponsah, Head of the Herbal Department at KNUST. Together, they developed a polyherbal ointment as their final thesis. Their formula, which would later become Dermostick Triple Action Ointment, showcased the potential of natural ingredients to heal, protect, and restore the skin.

Encouraged by their supervisor, Dr. Anna Kwaley Quartey, and the venerable Prof. Ohemeng, then Dean of the Central University School of Pharmacy, the trio was urged to take their project beyond the classroom and into the market.

A Leap of Faith

After graduating, Sylvester chose to pursue this dream. As part of the Pharmaceutical Society of Ghana’s (PSGH) strategic capacity-building project in small-scale manufacturing, he gained additional skills  in herbal and allopathic medicine production. Armed with this training and a deep understanding of pharmacovigilance, Sylvester established Crane Pharma, dedicated to producing high-quality, natural, and effective remedies.

Dermostick Triple Action Ointment: Nature’s Touch for Healthy Skin

The flagship product of Crane Pharma, Dermostick Triple Action Ointment, is a testament to the power of nature and science working in harmony. It offers comprehensive care for various skin conditions, from dryness and irritation to minor wounds and infections.

The formulation includes Curcuma longa (Turmeric) and Syzygium aromaticum (Clove), Beeswax, Vitamin E Oil and Shea Butter among others.

Impact and Recognition

Today, Crane Pharma’s success is a shining example of how pharmacists can lead innovation in the manufacturing sector. Sylvester’s story underscores the importance of PSGH’s capacity-building initiatives, which equip pharmacists with skills to create solutions that benefit their communities.

Sylvester’s innovation has not only penetrated the local market but has also gained attention internationally, putting Ghana on the map for herbal medicinal excellence. Crane Pharma remains committed to producing a line of natural topical preparations that combine the best of tradition and science.
