“I have always been fascinated by the intelligence of nature and the way in which plants and skin adapt to the passage of time.”
I AM MAYTE GARCÍA, PHARMACIST AND COSMETIC FORMULATOR
My interest in medicinal plants began at a very young age, through the botanical knowledge passed down in my family and the observation of nature.
I am a pharmacist by training, and I have developed my career in cosmetic formulation and dermo-cosmetics, also delving into phytotherapy and the safety of cosmetic products.
During years of working in laboratories and pharmacies, I identified a clear opportunity: to combine the sensoriality and innovation of conventional cosmetics with the richness of organic cosmetics, incorporating botanical and biotechnological active ingredients in effective concentrations.
“I felt it was time to build a bridge between both worlds.”
2016 · HĒRBERA-LAB IS BORN
In 2016 I founded HĒRBERA-Lab, our cosmetic laboratory in Madrid, and Cosmetics HĒRBERA was born.
My goal was to demonstrate that organic cosmetics, formulated with green chemistry and plant biotechnology, can match—and even surpass—the results of conventional cosmetics, while simultaneously respecting the physiology of the skin and the environment.
