Over 50 years of beauty.
Over 10 years of research.
One personal vision.

Dario Ferrari.
A name that has defined the beauty industry for over half a century. In 1972, he founded Intercos, initiating a journey through ingredients, formulation, technology, and product innovation that would introduce Italian beauty to the world. For decades, his work took place behind the scenes—developing the science and technology behind the creations of the world’s most prestigious names. Then came the decision to personally sign his research.

Thus, DF18+ was born.
A personal point of view shaped by a lifetime of knowing what cosmetics can be—and what they should be.

Nature, selected with precision.
Science, developed with purpose.
Because experience is not about creating everything that is possible. It is knowing what is truly worth creating.
Skincare. Haircare. Makeup.
Different categories.
One singular vision.
Every DF18+ formula has a precise reason to exist: performance, relevance, and intent.
Nothing is included just to fill a line.
Nothing exists simply because the market demands it.
Only what is essential enters the formula.

A CODE BREAKING FORMULA

Through science we harnessed the highest plant biodiversity in one bottle, taking natural ingredients and biologically enhanced 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.

THE EVOLUTION OF PLANT ACTIVES

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.
