Abril et Nature

Abril et Nature is a Spanish professional cosmetics company founded in 1998 in Granollers, near Barcelona [2]. It develops hair care and skin care products aimed chiefly at salons and their clients, and sells through a mix of professional and consumer channels. The company remains independent and active, with product catalogues dated 2025 and 2026 and current social media accounts.

The business was started by Pedro Abril, a hairstylist, and Antonio Vázquez, whose background the company describes as business strategy and international expansion [2]. Their stated aim was to change how professional hair cosmetics were made and sold, pairing products meant to show visible results from first use with close working relationships between the company, hairdressers and distributors.

According to its own history, Abril et Nature emerged in 1998 with the objective of transforming professional hair cosmetics through effective products, a fresh view of the sector, and close collaboration with hairdressers and distributors [2]. The founders held that professional products must deliver visible results from the first use, meet the technical demands of salon work, and improve the client's experience.

From the start the company positioned itself as more than a supplier. It presented itself to salons as an ally offering differentiation and business value, and to distributors as a partner built on quality, support and lasting relationships. The company says it grew step by step, salon by salon and market by market, keeping its identity as it expanded abroad. Its headquarters remain in Granollers, in the province of Barcelona.

Abril et Nature describes itself as "more than a brand" and "a strategic partner," framing its role around salon growth driven by biotechnological innovation, professional quality and visible results [1]. Its public tagline is "professional cosmetic company | made in Spain."

The company sets out a group of brand pillars covering professional quality, innovation and effectiveness, environmental and well-being concerns, natural ingredients, and a vegan, cruelty-free stance. It also points to an in-house laboratory where, it says, it conducts research and selects each raw material.

The range spans three areas: professional hair care, skin care, and a natural-care line called Somnis&Hair. The company highlights named treatment systems, among them Molecular Therapy Renaissance and Nature Plex, and describes its formulas as built on plant-derived active ingredients and natural extracts for high performance in the salon.

Abril et Nature states that its products are vegan and have never been tested on animals [1]. No third-party certifications, such as those from independent vegan or cruelty-free bodies, are documented alongside these claims.

Distribution runs on both business and consumer lines: a consumer online channel, a separate professional channel, and a distributor-partnership program through which the company supplies salons and resellers in many countries.

The company frames sustainability as, in its words, "a responsibility intrinsically linked to innovation," and organises its approach around six pillars [3]. These cover formulation that removes unnecessary ingredients, biotechnology developed in-house for more concentrated formulas, packaging designed around recyclable materials and lighter weight, production kept in-house with what the company calls full traceability, technical training to help professionals reduce waste, and a stated commitment to continuous improvement. The page setting out these commitments names no numbered targets or dated goals.

Abril et Nature is active and independent. Its most recent professional hair-care catalogue is dated May 2026, with skin-care and Somnis&Hair catalogues dated December 2025, and it maintains current accounts on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook [1]. The company presents itself as reaching many international markets; retailer and aggregator listings have given differing figures for the number of countries served, some citing more than 38 and others more than 45, while the company's own site states no fixed number [6][7]. Its reach is therefore best described as multi-region rather than tied to a specific count.
