About us
Laboratorio Chimico Hibros was established in Bologna in the late of the nineteenth century by the Nadalini's family and started to take the first steps producing cosmetics for hair care. Through the ongoing researches conducted within the laboratories, after it obtained the first patent for bleaching creams, in 1967 it moved to the production of decolourants and products for face and body treatments.

In 1980 in order to address the needs and problems of unwanted hair Laboratorio Chimico Hibros made the first lines of depilation and epilation based on plant extracts and natural oils such as beeswax, aloe, jojoba oil, marsh mallow and linden. In the following years the brand Hibros became well known with more than one hundred articles in the depilation field both in perfumery and in beauty centers.

In 1999 was created the cosmetic line Hibros Sport, dedicated to athletes and in particular to the cycling sector; thanks to collaborations with professional massage therapists in a few years Hibros Sport became the reference point for the athletes of the most important cycling teams of Pro-Tour and also an Official Sponsor of the FCI.

Since 2000, the construction of new laboratories and more efficient production lines helped to develop new cosmetic lines for many sectors (pharmaceutical, sports, zootechnics, etc.) and to dedicate itself to the realization of important projects in Private Label.

In 2010 a new production plant of more than 1000L was bought in order to manufacture zootechnical cleansing and sanitising products. These products are manufactured in private label for many European companies.

In 2015 in collaboration with some groups of large retailers the line SaniUp, dedicated to home care, was born.
