Our mission is to help improve your hygiene and health. We listen to your needs and we invest in solutions that respect the environment and in quality tests at international laboratories.
From product types to our choice of ingredients, everything derives from our proximity to consumers. We apply science and technology to each person’s real needs.
By setting up our factory in Angola, we can guarantee a reduction in CO2 emissions, reducing the pollution emitted in transport. Our packaging is designed to cause the lowest possible environmental impact, using recyclable materials and biodegradable products. The manufacturing equipment acquired for use in our factories is also certified as highly energy efficient.
Long before it was launched on the market in 2012, DayCare had defined strict safety and quality standards for its products. This commitment was assumed to guarantee that its products, formulas and ingredients are safe. All our cosmetic products comply with strict European Union legislation, including the provisions of Decree-Law 189/2008 of 24 September 2008 and Decree-Law 119/2009 of 18 May 2009 in Portugal.
