Swissness at its finest
In the 1930s, while searching for skincare solutions for herself, Mila experimented with nurturing substances, finally formulating a hormone-based skin cream – an unheard of innovation for the skincare market of the day. Working together with a dermatologist and various chemists Mila developed further skincare products that she produced in her own company and sold domestically and abroad, initially under the brand name Milopa. In 1965, to avoid confusion with a similarly named baby food brand, the name changed to that of the founder, «Mila d’Opiz», a brand has come to represent the quintessence of all the experience gathered over decades. The mother company M. Opitz & Co. AG is also well established as an extremely successful manufacturer in the White Label Products sector.
