Our Laboratory
The Last Handcrafted Laboratories
PHYTO 5 belongs to the very exclusive circle of brands that can claim to manufacture their own cosmetic products. Switzerland has fewer than 20 laboratories capable of producing Swiss-quality cosmetics, compared to over 300 brands of Swiss Made cosmetics. This is a global trend.
This is called a craft brand, as opposed to industrial brands. These brands are rare because artisanal laboratories have the same quality requirements as the large industries in the sector, with perhaps even more care in the products they make — since these products are sold directly to the laboratory's customers, with few or no intermediaries. With heart, we have been thinking, designing and distributing cosmetics and professional care techniques worldwide since 1979, in the greatest respect for the skin and nature.
Research and development, regulation, quality, raw-material procurement, production, packaging, storage, order shipment — every step is carried out here, to ensure the safety and traceability of formulations from raw materials to finished products.
Professional Quality
In our laboratory, we exclusively produce our PHYTO 5 cosmetics brand. We focus on the production of BIO-certified cosmetics and quantum cosmetic products, whose production processes are unique and highly specific. These processes require the use of pure water directly from nature. They draw on research into water memory to increase the vibration rate of the products and reach the energetic levels of the emotional body.
Our clients — aesthetic therapists — are trained in our diagnostic and personalization techniques to achieve remarkable results. Everything is good in nature, but applying a cinnamon essential-oil mask to a face already marked by the sun is a disaster, while the same mask can work wonders on a skin with wrinkles and loss of tone. Holistic, that is to say the ability to personalize care to adapt nature's wonders to each individual's specific skin condition, is our unique expertise.
Our products and training are primarily intended for beauty therapists.
Natural and Organic Cosmetics
Caring for your skin and the environment is our priority.
We chose Fleurier when founding the laboratory in 1979 because it is, to us, one of the cleanest villages in Switzerland — preserved, in a sparsely populated valley, yet easily accessible. This still holds true today. Switzerland is a country particularly attached to its nature, and Fleurier has remained a small village of 3,500 inhabitants. It offers our laboratory the possibility to draw the water that composes our cosmetics from the springs of the Areuse — a particularly pure spring water.
We do everything we can to design cosmetic products that respect both your skin and the environment, from production to shipment.
The best natural active ingredients are selected to guarantee the best results. The vast majority of raw materials are of organic quality, especially vegetable oils and essential oils. Formulations are Vegan — they contain no animal-origin ingredients and are not tested on animals.
Since 2007, our laboratory has been certified by Ecocert, thanks to optimal quality standards and a production site that contributes to the protection of the planet.
Quantum certification
In 2017, through collaboration with aesthetic professionals, we discovered the importance of the emotional dimension in beauty care.
We then integrated the research of Masaru Emoto, Professor Montagnier and Nassim Haramein into our 5 Elements range to produce active cosmetics, called "quantum", capable of balancing emotions.
Since then, and to this day, we are the only Swiss cosmetic laboratory to be quantum certified.
Quantum-certified products carry information able to influence emotions. This information is released when the product comes into contact with the skin.
During the manufacturing process, a series of natural waves is used to increase the products' vibration rate, reaching a vibration rate three times higher than that of conventional cosmetics. A specific imprint is also given to the vibration — like two instruments playing the same note with different timbres.
The vibration of quantum-certified products is like the music of these instruments. Two quantum formulas have different vibrations and thus support two different emotional states.
