Introduction Providing
a full line of beauty care products - developed
from the purest of active bases, thanks to the
persistence of a tireless researcher - the Swiss
Laboratories, HORMETA, remain a family-run business
and are quite unlike any other brand. The
company operates, first and foremost, on the
passion shared and experienced by its founder,
Maurice Chaponnier, a herbalist, and his heirs.
This same flame still glows ardently to ensure
creativity and progress! and this same motivation
prevails to innovate with quality! A
distinguished researcher, fascinated by eternal
youth, Maurice Chaponnier focused on cellular
regeneration as early as 1950. The first to
appreciate the importance of trace elements in our
system, he quickly began conducting experiments on
the skin. An accomplished herbalist, prodded by his
discovery on the importance of trace elements in
the human body, he developed a complete line of
beauty products providing spectacular results.
HORMETA was born! At
the helm today is Christine Chaponnier, a doctor of
chemistry and the founder's daughter. Her close
relationship with the scientific community enables
her to keep abreast of high tech research and high
performance raw materials. She works in conjunction
with her brother, Jean-François Chaponnier
who directs the marketing, management and
commercial areas of the business. After more than
50 years of continuous work, HORMETA takes pride in
its role as front-runner over a great number of
major players in the industry. The strength of the
group lies in its ability to agree on varying
viewpoints, to run consistent research, to develop
sound and attainable objectives, and to make the
right decisions by adopting the most innovative
formulations. In a word, the Swiss Laboratories
HORMETA, are master of their destiny. Far from the
fashion gurus, the company places its stock in
longevity, the image of Swiss products, quality,
precision and efficiency. Counting
250 agents in Switzerland, HORMETA has enjoyed
worldwide distribution for 10 years. Southeast
Asia, the Near East and the Gulf, in addition to
North America and Europe successfully receive its
care.
