Biosfera was born in 2007 in La Fortuna, Costa Rica in the North Region, at the Arenal Volcano slopes; in a country that breathes green. With only 0.04% of the earth’s surface, Costa Rica has 4% of worldwide biopersity.
We cultivate most of our natural ingredients in the farm that we have around our laboratory, we have the privilege of having a spring of pure spring water very close, that allows us to use a water of the highest quality, to achieve products with the best components truly.
