Product innovation for beauty
In 1956 Dr. Michael Babor made beauty-history as he developed the HY OIL, a
unique cleansing product that cleansed the skin in an unprecedented, natural and
effective way, laying the foundation for the company BABOR and many cutting-edge
innovations in the years and decades to come. An important milestone was the
development of the Effect Fluid: an exquisite composition of natural ingredients in its
highest concentration sealed in a glass ampoule. These little beauty specialists have
an instantly visible effect and each and every one of them has its own beauty secret.
