with a lot to tell

Year 1947

Company founded as a pharmaceutical laboratory

In 1947 Doctor Juan Abeniacar, PhD in Pharmacy, founded the company Farlabo. It was born as a pharmaceutical laboratory in the basement of Pharmacy International, in Madrid. For this reason, our company owes its name to its pharmaceutical origins.

This family company began its activity in 1956 as a distributor of perfumes in Spain with Christian Dior. This relationship would end in 1998 but it was the beginning of the extraordinary coexistence between the worlds of cosmetics and pharmacy, achieving great bonds of affection and professionalism between the two sectors.
