Entering the UK market in 1959 with the revolutionary Scientifique (a penetrating nail hardener that not only remains one of the company's top sellers, but has outlasted perhaps 100 copies), the Mavala has continually developed, refined and expanded the product base. Mavala's Nail range now incorporates 20 treatment products, to solve common nail problems from slow growth to ragged cuticles. These treatment products are complemented by the Mini Color nail enamels, over 130 fashion and classic shades. In 1986 Mavala extended their fingernail expertise to the hands with the Swiss Hand Care programme. The line consists of four products based on natural substances that work to activate the renewal of skin cells and help the skin retain moisture. Aside from its own distribution companies in Switzerland, France and England, Mavala now reaches more than 130 markets throughout the world.
