Astrid: It started with a soap factory
Everything started in 1847 when František Prochaska opened a soap shop and a small soap factory in Prague Celetná Street – yes, this was when Astrid's history began to be written. After the expansion of production, a hundred years later, the brand introduced its two slogans: "One hundred Years of Tradition and Quality" and "One hundred Years of Beautiful Women with Astrid Cosmetics".
Wonderful Indulona
The immortal brand Indulona was developed in the time of industrialization, as a protection against drying and irritation of the skin. The brand got its name many years later and in the 1950s, it was still popularly called a ‘miracle cream’.
