Italian origin
Euphidra was founded by Zeta Farmaceutici Group, the Italian pharmaceutical group among the first to bring cosmetics to pharmacies. Zeta Farmaceutici Group is made up of two companies, each with its own specializations: Zeta Farmaceutici and Marco Viti Farmaceutici. Euphidra combines the value of two major Italian traditions recognized all over the world: pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
Wellness of the skin
Care and respect for the skin is the strategic mission Euphidra. A mission enclosed in its own name, which comes from the composition of three Greek words: good, nature, water. In a nutshell: the search for the well-being of the skin through its natural level of hydration. Hence a complete program of solutions that meet the needs of all skins, even the most sensitive ones. And that focuses on 3 fundamental factors.
1. Equilibrium between the lipid and the hydration level Lipids and water are the basis of skin vitality.
The imbalance of their concentration (with excess or lack of one of the two) can generate problems of sensitivity, dryness and irritability. EuPhidra products are designed to promote a constant equilibrium condition.
2. Prevention against free radicals Prevention is also essential for the well-being of the skin.
And the most important preventive action is certainly the one against free radicals, which over time cause the skin to go out, to lose freshness and smoothness. This is why EuPhidra formulations always use the most effective antioxidant active ingredients.
3. Skin structure: compactness and revitalization
The third pillar of the EuPhidra research. Great attention to all the functional principles that contribute to restoring firmness and vitality to the skin.
