Atache Scientific Cosmetic is a Spanish company founded in 1932 which from the beginning has adopted a philosophy of scientific cosmetics based on a true commitment to quality and excellence of service to beauty professionals. Its integration in 1983 into the pharmaceutical group ASAC Pharma, which has its headquarters in Alicante, helped to streamline its international manoeuvring positioning.
The pioneer of retinol and vitamin C use in Spain, its historical milestones include the launch of the Atache A.R. Retinol and C Vital lines (1989 and 1995, respectively), and the development of the product line for defence against oxygen toxicity, Atache S.O.D., based on the superoxide dismutase enzyme.
The wide product range of Atache is divided into various lines of products for body and face, for professional salon treatments as well as sale to the general public. The effectiveness of its more than 100 products, organised according to the different skin needs, is accredited by performance, tolerance and stability studies.
In 1995 it commenced a globalisation plan by showcasing in the key trade shows of its sector across the globe, as well as its first exports to Panama, Ecuador, Morocco and Guatemala. For the purpose of entering the North American market, in 2005 it created the subsidiary Atache USA.
Currently, Atache Scientific Cosmetic is present in more than 25 countries across the world, with exports accounting for 50% of the company's total billings. A regular at key trade fairs of the cosmetics sector such as Cosmoprof Italy and Beauty World Japan, the brand which continually seeks out new business opportunities identifies Italy, Ukraine, the US, Greece and Singapore as its key international markets.
