VAGHEGGI Phytocosmetici was created and established in 1975 by Dr. Vagheggi in Vicenza, Italy, just 100km from Venice. Dr. Vagheggi, a pioneer in holistic methods like Shiatsu and Ayurveda, founded one of Europe’s earliest green cosmetics companies. His endeavour driven by his passion soon gained recognition in the professional phytocosmetics field, focusing on natural beauty achieved through using only nature’s ingredients, transformed into valuable allies excluding parabens, silicones, sulphates and other substances, which can be detrimental to skin.
This term designates a beauty product, which consist exclusively of raw materials of plant origin. VAGHEGGI draws all its active ingredients from nature in order to respect the skin but also to protect the environment in a balanced coexistence of life. Thanks to our philosophy, which translates into an ongoing laboratory research and development of products for the face and body we marked the history of Italian professional products. Today, VAGHEGGI products satisfy all needs, from basic to premium, luxury treatments, including sun protection and make-up. We are proud to be among the top 3 Italian professional cosmetic brands in terms of quality and sales volume in the world.

When choosing the most effective raw materials for VAGHEGGI phyto-ingredients, four principles are used:

The ultimate goal of the new COSMOS standard is to address key issues to protect the environment and preserve human well-being on the planet.

I'm Green
The tubes we use in our Organic range are made from plant-based PE. This bioplastic is produced by fermenting sugar from non-GMO sugar cane grown in Brazil and sourced from low-water consumption crops. The entire production cycle is then closely monitored to assess the overall environmental and social impact. This bioplastic significantly reduces CO2 emissions and does not contain components of fossil origin. Additionally, 80% of the energy used to produce bioplastic is obtained from renewable sources.

Rigorous, constant and continuous controls not only attest to the non-animal origin of the raw materials, but also exclude any traces of ingredients of animal origin in the raw material procurement process.
