“The skin is a barrier, which defends us from environmental and mechanical aggressions thanks to the particular structure of the stratum corneum, similar to a wall, in which the cells are the bricks and the cement are the intercellular substances. When the skin is excessively dry or dermatitis is present, the “wall” loses compactness, no longer retains water since the “cement” that holds them together is lost between the cells: ceramides, cholesterol, essential fatty acids. The alteration of the skin barrier exposes the skin to greater risks of inflammation, infections, allergies.”
OFI has been a leader in the creation and production of specific dermo-cosmetic products for the body, available in different size including jars, tubes, bottles and airless of various shapes and capacities.
The special formulations for specific body treatment, have been designed to respond in a targeted way to the needs of women and men struggling with problems deriving from aging, from the action of external chemical agents, from pathologies of the organism, intake of medications, excessive fatigue and stress.

OFI has been the Italian leader in the contract manufacturing of sun protection.
Treatments for skin care under the sun, in accordance with the most up-to-date European legislation.
The company has also promoted an integrated plan for the development of innovative formulations that are increasingly sustainable and with ocean-friendly ingredients.
O.F.I.’s scientific research continues to investigate all these issues together with in-depth studies on nanomaterials and suspected endocrine disruptors in order to ensure sun protection product with ingredients that are safe for the consumer and the environment.
For example, using physical filters or innovative, natural and sustainable ingredients such as algae.
Algae have different biological activities: in addition to the absorption of UV rays, they have antioxidant and anti-aging properties. They are easy to cultivate and the technologies to obtain the active ingredients are innovative and low cost. For these reason they represent a sustainable source of active and green ingredients.
“Hair is an expression of beauty that can be directly correlated to the state of health and psycho-physical balance of the person. A strategy made up of specific interventions must protect against atmospheric agents and smog, responsible for daily and repeated attacks on our cellular system such as dehydration, alteration of the dense architecture of the external cuticle, weakening, oxidation. Since hair is a rapidly growing structure, it needs a good condition and vitality to achieve satisfactory and regular development.”
O.F.I. designs and manufactures innovative trichological lines, formulated to counteract hair loss, cytostimulate the bulb, protect the cuticle, purify and sebum normalize the scalp skin in order to obtain a correct and balanced capillary function.
