A Family Legacy Holistic, sustainable thinking has always been a key value of the corporate culture of La Biosthétique.

We are responsible for protecting nature.

Nature provides us with the most important resource: the ingredients for our products.

Today, there are new scientific findings being disproven the very next day. Every decision concerns many fields and often appear rather complex. Our natural ingredients however have always been able to develop their effect because they are hand–picked. This includes consciously being sourced from selected partners.

As a family–run company, with hairdressers as distribution partners, La Biosthétique has always practiced an honest, sustainable and partnership–based policy that is reflected in our products and our company.
