Naturactive: Herbal Medicine and Aromatherapy since 1988, for Natural Health

Our mission

To empower everyone to take control of their health, naturally. We identify the best-documented plant-based active ingredients for each health need, concentrate them to ensure a consistent active dose, and formulate them for simple, everyday use.
Naturactive works with healthcare professionals - pharmacists especially - to ensure that herbal medicine and aromatherapy find their rightful place in everyday healthcare practices. A pharmacy is not just a retail outlet: your pharmacist knows the formulations, their potential interactions, and the situations in which they are appropriate. Our products are designed to be recommended, not just purchased.
 

Concentrated Dry Plant Extract

Naturactive’s herbal medicine is based on concentrated dry plant extract. The process targets the plant’s active molecules and removes inert substances such as cellulose. This results in two benefits: a higher concentration of active ingredients than in herbal tea or raw plant powder, and consistent content from one batch to the next. The capsules are small. The daily dose is usually limited to 2 capsules.
This expertise dates back to the first medication launched by Pierre Fabre in 1961: Cyclo 3®, made from the dry extract of Butcher’s broom (Ruscus aculeatus L.), which is still on the market today. Since 1988, Naturactive has applied this expertise to its entire range of herbal remedies, featuring single-herb formulas (one herb, one need) and herbal combinations for more complex needs.

Aromatherapy

Since 1989, Naturactive has been formulating blends of essential oils, initially targeted at ENT health and winter ailments. Single-ingredient essential oils were added to the line in 2011 and have been certified organic since their launch. Today, the line covers respiratory health, daily well-being, and home care.
