RETHINKING BEAUTY
SINCE 1979
Ours is a story that is constantly evolving.
Intuition, passion, perseverance, investigation and connecting with people are what define
the essence of Natura Bissé.
It all started in Barcelona in 1979 when
Ricardo Fisas and Gloria Vergés founded Natura Bissé with a clear purpose: to take care of
people’s skin and their sense of well-being at every stage of life.
We enter into the world of beauty and wellness via the professional spa sector, establishing
a strong connection between our products and the expert hands of the best aestheticians in the industry.
Today we perform over 7.5 million treatments around the world every year.
This spa background has strongly influenced the exceptional quality of our
cosmetics and treatment room experiences.
The second generation
of the Fisas family now runs the company with the same passion that characterized
its founders, remaining loyal to the values of honesty, excellence,
and teamwork that were established as the company's foundational pillars.
Today, we are a team of over 400 people around the world who
work together every day to continue revolutionizing the beauty and wellness industry.
1979
Our beginnings
It all started in Barcelona
when our founder Ricardo Fisas discovered the power of touch:
he noticed that a factory team member who worked with amino acids had
strikingly soft hands. Upon further investigation, he discovered that
exposing the skin to the natural, free form of amino acids had a powerful
cosmetic effect.
1995
International debut
After being invited to stock our
products in the most renowned department stores in the USA
(Neiman Marcus, Barneys New York, and Bergdorf Goodman), we inaugurated our
first subsidiary in Dallas. Internationalization has always been a pivotal
factor in our strategic vision. We now have a total of 5 affiliates in the UK,
the USA, Mexico, Spain and China, and our products and treatments are available
in more than 40 countries. They are also present in different distribution
channels so they can be available for our clients whenever they need us:
aesthetic centers, hotel spas, department stores,
perfumeries, and online stores.
2002
THE ICONIC DIAMOND EXTREME LAUNCH
This year saw the introduction of an iconic
skincare product. The first global anti-aging cream is based on the concept
of energy being the essence of ageless beauty. Today it is a worldwide bestseller,
adored by celebrities, industry experts, and clients who demand the very best for
their skin.
2004
The HOLLywood Glow
Our private beauty suites landed in Los Angeles
to be the best ally for the makeup artists and to pamper and prep celebrity skin.
Every year since then we have been committed to making the stars dazzle
on the most famous red carpet in the world.
2008
The Ricardo fisas Natura Bissé foundation
Our founders, Ricardo Fisas and Gloria Vergés, created
a private and independent foundation that is committed to the well-being of people in
vulnerable situations. Two initiatives were born: the Oncology Skin Care Program and Project
Difference, which supports teachers and children with learning differences. Natura Bissé
funds the Foundation with 0.7% of its total annual revenue.
2014
Beauty Lovers Day
Our deep passion for skincare led us
to create our International Beauty Day and we have celebrated it every
year since then. Our most select points of sale around the world are
filled with surprises to show our gratitude to our clients, partners,
and friends for all their trust and support. A unique celebration in which
beauty and wellbeing take center stage; the perfect occasion to celebrate
what makes us all unique, our singularity, diversity, and authenticity. In
addition, since 2020 this day has been an opportunity to raise funds to support
the Ricardo Fisas Natura Bissé Foundation.
2018

For four years in a row (2018, 2019, 2020 & 2021),
we have been named World’s Best Spa Brand at the prestigious World Spa Awards™,
an organization born to become a benchmark in the wellness sector.
It is a great honor to receive these awards but also a major responsibility
that drives us to continue our pursuit of excellence with the aim of creating
ultra-effective professional treatments while offering the most exquisite
service.
