About the owner: Cantabria Labs
Cantabria Labs is a privately held company headquartered in Madrid, Spain. Brandtree records 7 brands under its control.
Cantabria Labs is a Spanish dermatological laboratory with an office in Madrid and laboratories in Santander and Madrid. By its own account it began as a small family-run laboratory based in Cantabria, and in 1994 it acquired 100% of Industrial Farmacéutica Cantabria; it later adopted the Cantabria Labs name. It makes medicines, cosmetics and food supplements, and sells its skin-care ranges under brand names of their own such as Heliocare, Endocare and Biretix. It also runs joint ventures with Rafa Nadal (NDL Pro-Health) and Sofía Vergara (Toty) and holds a stake in the veterinary company Stangest; none of those is listed here. The Inmunoferon food supplement is also left out because it is not a personal-care product.
