It has distribution agreements with 50 countries and one of its products has been awarded by the magazine Cosmetics Design for Best Hair Care Ingredient 2017.

The money raised from the crowdfunding round will go towards increasing production capacity, expanding the company’s sales and marketing efforts and continuing to invest in R+D, with a view to obtaining a listing on the MAB (Spanish Alternative Investment Market) in 2018.
