Collection: Our founder (and her life formula)

Taking advantage of Paymani's 40th anniversary, we share with you the inspiring story of our founder, Mahnaz Paymani.

Over 40 years, Mahnaz has used many different natural ingredients for his master formulas. But, in his 74 years, for his life, he has also used three master ingredients: enthusiasm , innovation and adaptation .

He applied these “active principles” when he decided to study Biology in his native country, Iran. At that time, the country had freedoms like those of any European country. Mahnaz graduated in Biology and studied dentistry for 2 years.

In 1979 the Revolution began in Iran: the Shah was overthrown and Ayatollah Khomeini began to take away the population's freedoms. Mahnaz decides to move to Switzerland with her children.

He once again applied his enthusiasm, innovation and adaptation and, in the early 80s, began his study of vegetable oils and plant extracts in Switzerland ; first, for personal use and then for people around you. Very soon his formulas became highly appreciated.

And, there begins the journey of its scientific and natural cosmetic products, scientifically formulated to be truly effective, then and today.

At the beginning of the 90s, he decided to move his residence to Spain . And, again, he applies his ingredients of life: he gets excited, he reinvents himself and he adapts. And, with these ingredients, it manages, here too, to make its excellent formulas a highly regarded natural cosmetics brand.

We believe that Mahnaz is the example that with enthusiasm, a mentality of innovation and a willingness to adapt, we can all get where we want to go.
