Germaine de Capuccini

Founded by Carmen Vidal in 1964, Germaine de Capuccini began as a beauty institute in Alcoy, Alicante, where she offered treatments she had formulated herself. Vidal’s founding concept linked beauty with health and promoted preventive care, while the company developed a professional skincare approach combining cosmetic research, treatment protocols, education, and sensorial experiences. During the 1990s, it focused on professional aesthetics and anti-ageing skincare; its Timexpert line originated in 2004. The company introduced its Spa range in 1997, followed by the Kirei application method in 2012, Epigenol-based formulas in 2016, HLG Nanopolymer technology in 2021, and Expert Lab in 2022. On February 13, 2019, ACON Investments and Torreal acquired the company from the Vidal family. Germaine de Capuccini marked its 60th anniversary in 2024.
