In 2012, the Rychlicki family made a remarkable discovery of historic artefacts, including traditional designs and original Galenic family formulas found within a box and one of their Grandfather’s notebooks.

This discovery inspired the creation of the modern Alba®1913 brand, reflecting the family's authentic roots and expertise in ancient apothecary wisdom and herbal remedies. Alba1913's origin story underscores its unique selling point, emphasizing its deep connection to centuries-old traditions and the healing power of natural ingredients.

The healing power at the heart of Alba®1913 products, an ancient process called Galenic formulation, captures the curative magic of our natural remedies to deeply penetrate and nourish the skin.

Named after Claudius Galen a 2nd Century AD Greek physician, Galenic formulations are rooted in the principles of preparing and compounding botanical raw materials and natural medicinal actives to optimize absorption and efficacy.

The Galenic character of Alba®1913 cosmetics stems from its roots in herbal tradition and denotes pharmaceutical precision in ingredient selection, and the commitment to pharmaceutical quality honored throughout our entire product line.
