Committed to quality

Istituto Hella is not a universal cosmetic brand. Our approach is focused on quality and not quantity: we are proud to delight you with only a few selected skin repair and regeneration products. Our products make a difference, protecting and nourishing against the effects of skin ageing and also healing minor wounds and superficial burns.

This is the legacy of our founder Hella, a courageous girl, who, after having studied cosmetics at Dr Payot’s school of dermatology in Geneva, pursued her career in various countries before returning home to Ticino to launch one of the very first beauty salons in the region: the Istituto Hella.
