ISHI Elements has been developed by Dr Davide Antichi, owner and director of Italian skincare Institute Dafla. Founded 25 years ago, the Dafla Group specialises in the professional well-being and cosmetic sector and is recognised for its experience, unique insight and investment in research & development, both at a national and international level, leading to the success of this Italian Skincare Institute.

Dafla consists of three different branches:

Dafla Due Estetica

Founded in 1978 by Albano Antichi e Gina Mezzalira, Dafla Due Estetica is the primary focus within the Dafla Group. Its commitment is to produce and market professional cosmetic equipment for beauty centres and spas worldwide.

Dafla research laboratories, located in Genoa (Italy) are managed by Dr David Antichi. The laboratories consist of a specialist team of researchers constantly studying and developing efficient products and systems for the beauty industry that meet the highest standards of quality and effectiveness.

Research started in the '90's on ISHI Hi TECH and in 2001 it was born. Since then it has developed a reputation in the cosmetic field as an innovative and selective company. The project of research about natural ingredients brought about the birth of ISHI Elements in 2002 followed swiftly by the first comprehensive ranges of VinoTherapy and ChocoTherapy in 2003.
