Our most comprehensive scientific study, based on neuroscience, confirms the benefits of our rituals

One of Natura Bissé’s core values is to accompany you in your personal care throughout all stages of your life. To ensure that our treatments truly make you feel better, in 2016 we initiated various neuroscientific analyses to strive for excellence in all our spa experiences.

A LONG JOURNEY WITH NEUROSCIENCE

2016

Using neuroscience, we began to study the effects of each step in our protocols in real time, detecting which moments produce more or less pleasure in order to adjust and perfect them. This resulted in The Mindful Touch.

2020

We studied how to switch off from daily stress in just 8 minutes with the help of virtual reality and mindfulness.

2023

In partnership with the neuroscientific research center Starlab and the University of Murcia, we carried out our most ambitious study to date, selected for its relevance by the IFSCC (International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists).

This study scientifically validates and quantifies the physical and emotional benefits of our professional protocols, which are always based on THE POWER OF TOUCH. In addition to transforming the skin, after experiencing a Natura Bissé spa treatment:

The sensation of well-being increases by nearly 70%

The feeling of self-esteem improves

Relaxation increases (alpha-waves)
