They were fascinated by macrobiotics, a little known science in Italy at the time and by eastern philosophies.<\/p>\n
While producing the first bars of soap with natural fats and integral components, the family business unearthed consumer interest and sensitivity to Natural products and duly extended its range.<\/p>\n
Cibe laboratories has undoubtedly achieved a great deal in the course of almost 40 years of business. It has generated widespread awareness by always choosing the best raw materials, regardless of the current trends. It has provided consumers with handcrafted soaps and cosmetic products in a bid to recover and boost the Italian tradition, primarily Ligurian, of the art of soap making.<\/p>\n
Since 2004 the company has been producing ICEA certified cosmetic products. In 1998 it became a member of the international coalition which assures cosmetic products conform to the International Standard “Not Tested on Animals”, since\u00a0the entire Cibe production is carried out without the use of any raw materials that do not conform with the Standard.<\/p>\n
