Overview

Mavala is a Swiss cosmetic company that specializes in beauty products ranging from eye care, to nail care, to facial treatments, to hair care, to body moisturizers and perfumes. This cosmetic line was founded over 40 years ago in 1958 by one Mrs. Madeleine Van Landeghem and is marketed worldwide. Mavala is primarily known for their nail care products and claims to focus their efforts on innovation and perfection. Mavala currently has four main branches in the U.S., England, Germany and France. All Mavala cosmetics are claimed to be manufactured in Geneva with the "most rigorous quality standards and regulations."

The Mavala company incorporates "scientific laboratories" to research and develop their line of products. Each Mavala cosmetic is created to address a particular skin care, nail care, hair care or body issue. Mavala treatment products are only sold by authorized dealers. The key active ingredient in the Mavala face care line is known as Mallow (Malva Sylvestris), which is a plant extract found in the Alps. This unique component is supposed to provide the user with soothing, emollient and refreshing properties. Essentially Mavala facial treatments aim to allow the skin to breath better, prevent common signs of aging (fine lines and wrinkles) with maximum moisture and protect the outer layers of skin from harsh elements by using vitamins and botanicals.

Product Details

Mavala is a cosmetic line of products geared toward women to potentially assist with common concerns such as anti-aging, nail (finger and toe) maintenance, hair care and body moisturizing. A primary active ingredient found in all Mavala facial products is Mallow (Malva Sylvestris), a plant extract from the Alps. These cosmetic treatments endeavor to assist users with staying young by treating several different areas that are affected by the aging process.

The Good

  • The official Mavala website is available in four different languages.
  • Mavala offers a wide selection of products covering all areas of the body.
  • Mavala has been around for nearly 50 years.

The Bad

  • No Mavala products are actually available via the official website.
  • No testimonials are offered on the website.
  • Full product ingredient lists are absent from the official website.
  • There is no clinical research to prove that Mavala treatments actually benefit the skin.
  • Price information is absent from the official Mavala website.
  • Mavala does not appear to offer a money-back guarantee on the website.

The Bottom Line

Although Mavala is an older cosmetic company, the official website appears to be lacking in some ways. It's common for consumers to desire information such as ingredient lists and product pricing, however, neither can be found on the official Mavala website. Therefore potential customers may experience some difficulty actually locating the Mavala products to purchase them. Furthermore, so many other cosmetic lines provide ample customer feedback and money-back guarantees, where Mavala doesn't seem to offer either. In the end, this cosmetic line may raise numerous questions and concerns in comparison to the countless others that already provide simple information such as product pricing and availability.

Our top pick for 2008:  Dermapril-SP

Dermapril-SP was rated the best-in-class performer, with a cutting-edge formula and results visible immediately after use. Matrixyl 3000™, the primary active ingredient in Dermapril-SP, is backed by clinical research that showed reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles of as much as 33% after two months of use. Additionally, the formula contains the European miracle ingredient Argatensyl™, which creates an immediate tightening effect on applied areas, making results visible within minutes of use.

The treatment helps the skin regain a more youthful biochemical makeup by supporting the natural production of three building blocks – Collagen, Fibronectin and Hyaluronic Acid. The result is a rapid rejuvenation, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and other cosmetic signs of age caused by sun exposure, smoking, stress, and other common factors.

In clinical trials, Matrixyl 3000™ decreased the appearance of wrinkles by as much as 33% over a six week period. With the immediate tightening benefits of Argatensyl™, this formula has a completely unique combination of short-term cosmetic results as well as sustained, cumulative benefits to the skin. Common reported results include smoothing and firming; softer skin; diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; and healthier looking, glowing skin. Based on the high cost and quality of the ingredients, Dermapril-SP is reasonably priced. Customer satisfaction seems high and Dermapril-SP offers a risk-free trial, so users can evaluate the product prior to paying the full retail price.
