DF18+ was born from a family’s desire for innovation, talent and passion for beauty,
skincare and science. Inspired by Dr Nadja Avalle, one of the greatest talents in the
cosmetics industry, who as an Italian in Switzerland has created legendary
products for the best luxury brands, her legacy continues these days. Pioneer of sustainability and the circular
economy, already in the 70’s she used flower residues from the perfume industry
to create sophisticated raw materials for skincare.
The same vision continues today through
sustainable innovation at the heart of the active, revolutionary in
effectiveness and intelligent in the use of resources.
A passion of 50+ years.
10+ years of research made in
Switzerland.
8 patents for 18+ actives.
A true innovation for skincare at 360°.
Our labs continuously explore the most recent discoveries in cell and molecular biology. Breaking the code on the quest to find high performance ingredients and next-generation technologies.

Through science we harnessed the highest plant biodiversity in one bottle, taking natural ingredients and bio-hacking them for maximum efficacy. Blending nature and science, we source our active ingredients from plant cell tissue and extracts. An extremely sustainable technology that minimizes natural impact, waste and water consumption. Alternatively, we utilize plants that are fully traceable, grown locally and organically.
Our practices prioritize crafting the highest efficiency in actives while also minimizing our environmental footprint.
All our actives are completely derived from nature and amplified with cleaner scientific production processes. Our advanced extraction techniques allow us to avoid the use of preservatives and other unnecessary chemicals. We always keep a focus in science, and we extensively test our ingredients in-vitro for use on our DF18+ skincare line, because we simply want the best.
