About Farmec
Farmec is the range that carries the company's own name, and has done since at least 1969, when the first spray products made in Romania came off the line and the deodorants that followed were sold as Perla, Zefir, Cristal and Farmec. The company relaunched the range in 2022 after an investment of more than €500,000, and it now covers depilatories, a Tratament Forte line and the personal-use disinfectants added in 2020.

About the owner: Farmec
Farmec is a privately held company headquartered in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, founded in 1943. Brandtree records 7 brands under its control.
Farmec is the largest cosmetics manufacturer in Romania with entirely Romanian share capital, based in Cluj-Napoca. Its own history begins with the Molnar Moser laboratories in Budapest in 1889 and dates the Romanian business to 1943, when that network opened the Mol-Mos laboratory in Cluj; the laboratory was nationalised in 1949 as Cosmetics Factory No. 21, renamed Farmec in 1972, and fully privatised in 1995 by the MEBO method. It launches or modernises about a hundred products a year against a production capacity of 27 million units, and groups them under Gerovital, Aslavital, Doina, Farmec, Triumf and Nufăr.
