Laboratoire GIBRO S.A. (Gibro) is located in the Canton of Neuchatel, in the Swiss mountains. The company exists since 1979. It is the worldwide leader in natural, energetic and holistic skincare products. Gibro exclusively manufactures two proprietary product lines: 1. PHYTO 5™ that sub-divides in 5 “elemental” lines based on the 5 elements of traditional Chinese medicine, and a complementary but independent “functional” line that stresses certified natural and organic products (ECOCERT). The 5 elements sub-lines are intended for professionals who offer treatments and recommend products to their customers. They will need a few days of training to understand the method and products. However, products from the functional line can be sold on their own with less technical support and limited training. 2. PhytOsmose™ is a small, simple and efficient line for active and/or older consumers who have a greater need of minerals to achieve proper hydration and tone. The line lends itself to more traditional retail channels. Gibro also formulates and manufactures skincare products for third parties. In 2007 the factory received the much coveted Ecocert and Cosmebio ecological and organic certifications (according to ECOCERT Standard available at http://cosmetics.ecocert.com). The respect of this standard is insured by regular inspections on production site and a global quality and traceability system insured by Ecocert.
