Science & Technology

Rooted in the rich scientific and cultural heritage of Southern Italy, PDT Cosmetici Srl Società Benefit has been shaping the future of skincare since 1996. Established in Putignano, in the province of Bari, the company was founded on a clear vision: to merge pharmaceutical-grade expertise with the art of cosmetic formulation, creating products that deliver both sensorial elegance and measurable performance.

From its earliest days, PDT Cosmetici has been driven by a rigorous scientific approach. Founded by pharmacist Giovanni De Tommasi, the company began as a research-focused laboratory dedicated to understanding skin biology and the functional role of active ingredients. This scientific foundation, combined with a strategic and aesthetic vision, has allowed the company to evolve into a fully integrated industrial reality with a strong international presence.

Today, PDT Cosmetici operates as a vertically integrated manufacturer, managing every stage of product development in-house — from research and formulation to production, quality control, packaging, and regulatory compliance. This end-to-end control ensures not only consistency and safety, but also the ability to tailor high-performance formulations that meet the evolving demands of global markets.

At the core of its philosophy lies a commitment to combining carefully selected natural ingredients — many sourced from the Italian territory — with advanced cosmetic technologies. This synergy between nature and science enables the creation of sophisticated formulations designed to support skin function, enhance resilience, and deliver visible results.

Operating under internationally recognized standards, including ISO 9001 and GMP (ISO 22716), PDT Cosmetici guarantees a high level of quality assurance, traceability, and production excellence across all its processes.

In addition to developing private-label solutions for global partners, the company is also the creator of the professional skincare brand Physio Natura, widely distributed across aesthetic clinics, spas, and international markets. This dual positioning reflects PDT Cosmetici’s ability to operate both as a strategic manufacturing partner and as an innovator within the professional skincare space.

With a presence in over 30 countries, PDT Cosmetici continues to expand its global footprint while staying true to its founding principles: scientific integrity, formulation expertise, and a deep respect for the biology of the skin. The result is a portfolio of products designed not merely to enhance appearance, but to support long-term skin health through intelligent, evidence-driven formulation.
