Borotalco Original

Borotalco is an iconic Italian personal care brand best known for its uniquely scented talcum powder. Its origins date back to 1878 in Florence, when English pharmacist Henry Roberts created the distinctive formula for the 'Microtalco' powder in his pharmacy, the Profumeria Inglese. The brand became a household name across Europe, synonymous with cleanliness and the specific floral-citrus scent of its signature powder.

Over the decades, Borotalco expanded from its original powder format into a full range of hygiene products, including deodorants, shower gels, and soaps. While it remains a deeply traditional Italian brand, its manufacturing is optimized through regional facilities primarily in Italy to maintain its classic quality standards.

Today, Borotalco is owned by the Bolton Group, a major Italian multinational corporation. Bolton Group has successfully internationalized the brand while preserving its historic identity. The parent company oversees a diverse portfolio of consumer goods and continues to manage the brand’s distribution and production across the European market.
