Pierre Darphin, a great botanist with a lifelong commitment to the pursuit of botanical efficacy that has been supported by science, founded DARPHIN in 1958. His initial studies, conducted at the DARPHIN Skin Institute in Paris, centered on maintaining skin health by the exact release of strong botanical actives via specially designed "carriers." Today, DARPHIN continues on the groundbreaking research of its creator to set the standard for high-performing, botanically based skincare products.
