René Furterer: Pioneering Botanical Hair Care Since 1957
Founded in Paris in 1957, René Furterer revolutionized the hair care industry by creating the world’s first botanical hair spa. With a deep knowledge of botany and essential oils, Furterer developed a holistic, plant-based approach to treating hair and scalp concerns—at a time when harsh chemical treatments were the norm.
They introduced the now-iconic three-step method: Prepare, Wash, Treat, built on the core belief that healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. This philosophy gave rise to innovative, natural hair treatments that support scalp balance and hair vitality, laying the foundation for what is now recognized as phyto-cosmetology—the science of using plant-based ingredients in cosmetics.
Today, René Furterer continues to lead in botanical scalp and hair care, offering high-performance, nature-inspired solutions around the world. The brand is proudly part of the Pierre Fabre Group, a global leader in dermo-cosmetics and pharmaceutical-grade natural beauty.
You can shop René Furterer products almost in all pharmacies in France, or in their store and hair salon in Paris.
