Italian functional dermocosmetics, born from research and recommended in pharmacies and para-pharmacies

From the Langhe forest, science for the skin.

LeLang is an Italian functional cosmetics brand founded by Elisa Avalle, who specializes in dermocosmetics at the Universitat de Barcelona. Every formula starts with a specific skin need and addresses it with next-generation actives: biomimetic peptides, biotechnology, stabilized antioxidants.

Where we come from

A father planted a forest. His daughter turned it into skincare.

In the Langhe, Francesco Avalle built a forty-hectare forest piece by piece, without profit, with a single goal: to give oxygen to future generations. To preserve it over time, his daughter Elisa sought a way to give it a future, and found it through research.

It all began with extracting Vitis vinifera from the family’s land, to offer it to cosmetics companies. Those experiments led to the decision to build a true brand, and to a long path of training: culminating in a specialization in dermocosmetics at the Universitat de Barcelona.

Two areas of expertise, the same idea

LeLang is a family project. Elisa is the researcher: she studies the active ingredients, tests them one by one in the laboratory and develops every formula. Enrico is the commercial director: he leads LeLang’s expansion and the growth of the network of pharmacies and para-pharmacies that recommend it throughout Italy.

Two different areas of expertise, the same idea: niche functional skincare, made with care and without shortcuts.

Two souls, one direction

Research guides our formulas. The land gave us our origin.

The scientific soul

LeLang is all about functionality: every product has a precise purpose and fulfills it with documented active ingredients, used at the concentration at which they were studied. Biomimetic peptides, collagen-stimulating actives, stabilized and encapsulated vitamin C, next-generation soothing complexes. From concept to pharmacy, a formula takes an average of two years.

The origin

The name LeLang is a tribute to the Langhe. The first product, the Perlage cream, was created with Vitis vinifera extract from the family vineyards; over time, the formula has been improved and updated. We also took our method from the woods: patience, rigor, and constant care.

«Skincare is a personal journey and cannot be the same for everyone. I believe in the essentials: a few carefully chosen products, thoughtfully developed formulas, and consistent use.»

Why the pharmacy

Skin deserves advice, not an algorithm

A functional formula performs best when it is chosen for the right skin. That's why LeLang is available in pharmacies and parapharmacies, where our partner pharmacists know our active ingredients and protocols. We are not sold through large-scale retail or on Amazon: we are a niche skincare brand that you won't find everywhere.
