The Price of Quality

The price of PHYTO 5 products reflects their quality. This means that, depending on the annual sales volume, the price ensures that revenues are sufficient to maintain our Phytobiodermie quality standards and Swiss quality.

Phytobiodermie

The Phytobiodermie certification is an internal standard developed by PHYTO 5 over the years. It is based on three essential elements: the production environment, the quality of ingredients, and the preservation of the vibrational qualities of the products.

The Environment

PHYTO 5 products are manufactured in the village of Fleurier, Switzerland, in a factory built by PHYTO 5 in 1979. It is the only certified factory in the world authorized to produce our cosmetics.

This laboratory exclusively manufactures PHYTO 5 products and the Ageless La Cure line, which is certified organic by Cosmébio. It is also certified by EcoCert, ensuring that manufacturing processes comply with organic cosmetic standards.

Switzerland has around 20 laboratories capable of producing Swiss Made cosmetics, even though there are over 300 brands claiming this origin. In Fleurier, the laboratory is located in a small industrial area called Entre-Deux-Rivières, surrounded by fields, mountains, and two rivers. The water used in production is spring water that comes directly from the mountains.

We chose this exceptional environment and are committed to it. Producing our cosmetics ourselves and conducting EcoCert or ISO 22716 audits each year allows us to stay close to our quality processes and attentive to every essential detail.

The Ingredients

Cosmetics is a complex field. To incorporate natural molecules into formulas, the use of synthetic molecules is sometimes necessary—to ensure preservation, hygiene, solubility, or emulsification of the products.

Many brands would like to be 100% natural, but that is usually not possible. Certifications like EcoCert and labels like Cosmébio therefore tolerate a number of synthetic molecules, except in oil-based products such as our Phyt’Ether serums.

At PHYTO 5, the absolutely necessary synthetic molecules are used in very small quantities, and over 90% of the ingredients in our formulas are of natural origin. Furthermore, our products contain no animal-derived ingredients and are therefore suitable for vegans.

Our independence as a manufacturer allows us to personally select all our suppliers and raw materials. We personally verify the origin, safety documentation, physicochemical characteristics, and conduct internal testing to assess the quality and safety of each ingredient.

Vibrational Quality

At PHYTO 5, we are fully aware of the vibrational quality of our raw materials and finished products. We carefully select and handle them to ensure exceptional vibrational quality.

Just as a chef selects the finest ingredients to craft exceptional dishes, our trusted relationships with our suppliers are essential. This vibrational quality results not only from rigorous ingredient selection but also from exclusive PHYTO 5 manufacturing techniques that enhance this vibrational aspect.

The natural production environment also plays a fundamental role. Being located in a preserved region gives us access to pure spring water. A factory in a larger industrial zone using purified water without vibrational energy could not offer the same benefits.

Since the human body is composed of more than 80% water, it is essential to use cosmetics formulated with high-quality water to ensure their vibrational effectiveness on the body.

Swiss Quality

Switzerland enforces strict federal, cantonal, and European regulations. The European regulatory framework is the most stringent in the world, making Swiss regulations among the most demanding globally.

These standards are in place to protect consumers. Producing cosmetics for the general public requires a solid infrastructure. It's not enough to find a formula and choose good ingredients.

The finished product must be safe, stable, effective, and compliant. This involves rigorous incident tracking, complete traceability, and constant adjustments to compensate for natural ingredient variations.

Ensuring consistent quality with natural ingredients is a daily challenge. Nature evolves—an ingredient may change in appearance, scent, or composition from one year to the next. Our job is to adjust our processes accordingly to always deliver a flawless final product.

Our Commitment

The mission of PHYTO 5 is to support you on your journey to harmony, beauty, and well-being.

This mission is carried out through the transmission of our know-how—via training, communication, treatment techniques, professional equipment, and of course, unique and high-quality cosmetic products.

When you buy a PHYTO 5 product, you are paying a fair price that helps preserve this mission and the unique know-how we’ve upheld since 1979.
