From the very beginning, all PHYT’S products were based on natural ingredients. Cult products such as Crème Absolue, Gommage Contact + and Serum C17 still remain the foundation of the brand.
1972
PHYTAL is created
In 1972, Biologist and Naturopath Jean Paul Llopart joined forces with Esthetician Rosanne Verlé to create PHYTAL, a natural cosmetic brand designed specifically for the Professional Esthetician. Inspired by their revolutionary approach in which beauty is inseparable from overall health, they laid the foundation for Naturo-Esthétique® by linking ecology with a natural philosophy. Jean Paul and Rosanne were true pioneers in the natural cosmetic industry.
1974
J.P. LLOPART files a patent
In 1974, Jean Paul LLOPART files a patent after he succeeds in packaging masks, creams and serums in glass ampoules which protect the products from damaging outside conditions. The hermetically sealed ampoules ensure the product is as active and fresh as the day it was packaged without the use of synthetic preservatives. This single-use treatment dose provides complete hygiene for both the Esthetician and their client. To date this packaging format continues to be used in our Professional Spa Treatments.
