Five fun facts about Mavala:

1. Our original product was the Mavala Scientifique. It was created in 1958 by Madelaine Van Landeghem – her initials MaVaLa are behind the name Mavala. Mavala Scientifique is still a market leader in nail strengthening and to this day one of our best-sellers. It’s available in 110 countries! Soft, splitting nails will benefit from the same deeply penetrating nail hardening ingredients that adorned the nails of the mini-skirted pioneers of the 60’s! Mavala Scientifique K+  (£16.50)
2. Do you think that eyelash serums are a new beauty innovation that need to cost £££? Think again! Our Double Lash Serum has been strengthening, lengthening and beautifying lashes since 1967. The award-winning overnight serum uses a new and improved clinically proven formula of vitamins and proteins to revitalise eyelash growth – all applied with a super simple mascara wand. Mavala Double Lash (£16.50)
3. The iconic Mavala Mini Colours, the miniature gold-topped nail varnishes, were designed to be eco-friendly long before the term even existed, in 1964. The gold top of the bottle was inspired by the Mary Quant miniskirt! The little 5ml pots minimise solvent evaporation and ensure every last drop can be used. The modern, improved formulation delivers microscopic air pockets to allow nails to breathe and is vegan friendly, with a super long hold and shine. We have over 200 classic and on-trend shades to choose from. Mavala Mini Colours (£5.50)

Fusing Swiss nature and their exacting standards in cosmetology, the Swiss Skin Solution (first launched in 2016) combines the power of Alpine water and Swiss botanic treasures with advanced active ingredients. Gentle and effective, we really do offer targeted solutions for all skin types. Healthy Glow Collection (£44.00)
