From his base in the Spanish Pyrenees, alchemist, aroma-therapist and philosopher Idili Lizcano, proudly proclaims his Alqvimia natural products are carefully elaborated and handmade, like a "Louis Vuitton, a Rolls Royce or a Chanel suit".

So what exactly is Alqvimia?

Alqvimia is fast becoming a global phenomenon in the growing market for high quality natural cosmetics. The company was founded in 1984 by Idili Lizcano, who developed a new and revolutionary concept for women's beauty treatments, by turning flowers and plants into the purest of cosmetics, based on entirely natural ingredients. The company's location in the Pyrenees is also no accident, being acknowledged as one of the richest regions in Spain for the quality and variety of its medicinal plants

The secret of Alqvimia is the combination of the ancient traditions of alchemy with modern practices. Idili Lizcano himself is an expert in aromatherapy, ancient perfumery and the spiritual science of alchemy. He was among the first in Spain to study essential plant oils.

The result is a range of natural oils and cosmetics for body and soul, all of which have their own unmistakable, penetrating aroma. Products include everything from bath gel, soaps, to body oils and essential oils, which are today enjoyed by women all over the world.
