ABOUT US & OUR RESPONSIBILITY
Danish Design & German Manufacturing
Zantey is a Danish company founded in 1998, with its own manufacturing facility in Northern Germany.
Both our head office and manufacturing facility are certified according to ISO 13485. We specialise in the design, production, and packaging of well-documented, CE-marked head lice combs, as well as innovative flake and crust removers for babies with cradle cap.
We offer both private-label solutions and distribution of our in-house brands — Liceworld® head lice combs and Zaby Baby’s First Comb — For Hair, Flakes & Crusts, supplying products to pharmacy chains, drugstores, baby and toddler product retailers, as well as pharmaceutical partners worldwide.
OUR MISSION
Our Story Begins Thousands of Years Ago — and Ends with a Better Comb in Your Hand
For thousands of years, combing has been a method for removing head lice. The fine-tooth comb dates back to the Natufian period (9,500–12,500 BC), and its essential design has changed very little over time. In ancient times, combs were crafted from materials like ivory and bone.
Today, the tradition continues — refined through innovation and precision. Our mission is to design and manufacture well-documented, high-quality, ergonomic, CE-marked head lice combs, as well as innovative flake removers designed for the gentle removal of flakes and crusts caused by cradle cap in babies and children.
OUR IMPACT & INITIATIVES
Industry Insight and Public Advocacy
Since 1998, we have supported and conducted a wide range of clinical trials and field studies. Since 2006, we have also facilitated public awareness campaigns promoting regular head lice checks, in collaboration with pharmacies, public authorities, and pharmaceutical companies. These initiatives encourage early treatment and help prevent outbreaks in schools and childcare settings — and have been proven to significantly reduce infestation rates when applied consistently.
One example is a project we supported at a children’s home in India, where head lice were widespread. We provided our head lice combs and training to help the children implement daily checks. At the outset, 98% of the children had head lice, and the remaining 2% had no hair and were therefore lice-free. The goal was to investigate whether teaching the children to comb and check each other’s hair daily could effectively manage the problem.
After just three weeks, 96% of the children were lice-free — a powerful demonstration that simple, shared routines can lead to remarkable results.
