History:

Originitalia was created with the fundamental concept to produce naturally derived skin and hair care cosmetics using locally-sourced raw materials taken from the ‘origins’ of earth to take to the international market.

Subsequently, the brands Origins, Verde & Curactive (all founded on the concept of nature) were born and destined mainly for the Asian and American markets.

Over the years Originitalia have created and manufactured products for many international brands such as Estee Lauder, Elizabeth Arden and Debenhams.

In 2000, Originitalia formulated and developed the brand ‘Ojon’ which quickly enjoyed international growth. The brand was launched on QVC before going into major retailers including John Lewis, Selfridges, Sephora and Liberty London. In 2007, ‘Ojon’ was sold on to cosmetics giants Estée Lauder and Originitalia remained the exclusive manufacturer until 2010. During this period, Estée Lauder invested heavily into the technology and machinery at Originitalia, spurring the company on to become a world leader in cosmetics manufacturing.

These values and attributes have allowed the company to manufacture products for leading cosmetics brands such as Elizabeth Arden and Estée Lauder and also create brands including Ojon and Villa Floriani.
