Global cosmetic company
About us
A story of professional vision, self-innovation, and shared growth
Behind every great brand is a story. An idea born to solve a problem, a different vision, and a team determined to do things differently. At abril et nature, we believe that professional cosmetics shouldn’t be limited to hair or skin care.
It must transform the professional’s experience, build consumer trust, and become a tool that helps hairdressers, distributors, and specialists worldwide to grow.
Some brands are born to occupy a space in the market. And some brands are born to change it.
abril et nature belongs to the latter group. Since 1998, we have been developing professional cosmetics with a conviction that continues to guide every decision: innovation only has value when it translates into real results.
Results that professionals can see and feel. Results that build consumer confidence. Results that transform each treatment into a tool for differentiation, customer loyalty, and growth for salons, distributors, and beauty specialists.
Our story begins with hair, with a deep understanding of the salon and its needs. Over time, that experience has grown into a global cosmetics company, present in more than 40 countries and with the in-house capacity to research, formulate, manufacture, and bring to market professional hair and skin care solutions.
A brand born where results matter: in the salon
abril et nature was born from a professional perspective. Pedro Abril, a renowned hairdresser with a national and international career, knew firsthand the reality of the salon: the client’s expectations, the precision required for each service, and the limitations of many products available at that time.
Alongside him, Antonio Vázquez contributed solid experience in business development, strategy, and international expansion.
Two different profiles, one shared ambition: to create a brand capable of uniting professional knowledge, scientific research, and business acumen. Cosmetics designed not only for care, but also to offer professionals an effective, consistent, and distinctive solution.
This is how abril et nature began: with the desire to better understand each need, to question the established order, and to develop treatments that would demonstrate their value from the first use.
Our philosophy: effectiveness is not promised, it is demonstrated.
In professional cosmetics, trust is built result by result.
That’s why every abril et nature formula stems from a specific hair or skin need. We select highly effective active ingredients, study their synergies, and apply advanced cosmetic technologies to create precise, sensorial, and reliable treatments.
We don’t pursue innovation as a passing fad. We understand it as a discipline: researching, improving, and transforming scientific knowledge into solutions that provide a visible and relevant benefit.
Our goal isn’t to have more products. It’s to develop better treatments. Formulas capable of elevating the quality of professional service, improving the customer experience, and reinforcing the value of those who work with our brand.
Research, formulate, and manufacture: the value of controlling the entire process
One of abril et nature’s greatest strengths is our ability to develop and manufacture our own formulas.
Our facilities in Spain house the Research and Development laboratory, cleanrooms, production and packaging areas, logistics, and corporate offices. This integration allows us to support each product from the initial concept to its market launch.
Controlling the entire process means being able to guarantee consistent quality, rigorous traceability, and a rapid response to the sector’s evolving needs. It also allows us to protect what sets us apart: our expertise, our technologies, and our formulation methods.
For our distributors and professionals, this structure translates into something essential: trust. Trust in the product, in the continuity of the brand, and in a manufacturer prepared to evolve alongside its market.
Science as the driving force behind more advanced beauty
Research is part of our DNA. Our R&D department works continuously on new technologies, biotechnological assets and formulation systems capable of responding to the demands of contemporary professional cosmetics.
We were pioneers in incorporating plant stem cells into professional hair treatments, an innovation that opened a new stage in our understanding of hair care.
Since then, we have continued to move forward with the same drive: to explore new possibilities, increase efficiency and develop solutions that are increasingly respectful of hair, skin and the environment.
Because for abril et nature, science is not an argument. It is the starting point.
From hair care to a holistic vision of beauty
Our origins are deeply rooted in professional hairdressing. There, we learned to listen, to observe, and to formulate with a clear objective. That experience remains the essence of the brand and, at the same time, the foundation from which we have broadened our perspective.
Today we develop professional hair treatments, technical products, facial lines and specific solutions for hairdressers, beauty centers, specialized stores and beauty professionals.
Each range addresses a specific need. Each product has a function within a treatment. And each treatment can be adapted to create personalized experiences that add value for both the practitioner and their client.
This solutions architecture allows our partners to work with a coherent, specialized brand prepared to address different opportunities within the professional market.
A Brand with an International Presence
From Spain, abril et nature has brought its vision of professional cosmetics to more than 40 countries. We grow alongside distributors who share our commitment to innovation, service, and building strong, lasting relationships.
Quality that is integrated into every decision
Excellence guides every stage of our work, from research to manufacturing. ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 22716 certifications support our processes and guarantee certified quality, safety, traceability, continuous improvement, and good manufacturing practices.
Innovating also means acting responsibly
We innovate with a responsible approach. We carefully select ingredients, optimize our processes, and develop cruelty-free products and vegan formulas, incorporating naturally derived active ingredients when they offer efficacy, to move towards a more environmentally friendly professional cosmetics industry.
The knowledge and the people behind each formula
Behind every formula lies knowledge, experience, and talent. Researchers, technicians, trainers, and teams work in a coordinated manner to transform innovation into effective treatments and offer professionals, distributors, and customers a top-tier brand experience.
The future is being shaped today
After more than 25 years, we still maintain the same concern that gave rise to abril et nature.
We continue to research. We continue to develop new technologies. We continue to expand our international presence. And we do so with a clear vision: to create professional cosmetics capable of generating results, trust, and shared growth.
Because our success isn’t measured solely by the products we manufacture or the markets we reach. It’s measured by the value we help create: in every professional who improves their service, in every salon that differentiates itself, in every distributor who expands their market, and in every customer who chooses us again and again.
