Our Story: Science & Nature Since 1982

Welcome to BeC!

Where Nature Meets Science

BeC: Science and Nature for Your Well-being

BeC was founded in Forlì as a family-owned company specializing in high-efficacy natural cosmetics and plant-based supplements. With over 40 years of scientific research and a deep passion for plants, essential oils, and premium ingredients sourced from around the world, every product we create is unique, natural, safe, and designed for real results. Since 1982, we have combined science and nature for your well-being.

Cutting-Edge Technology Our state-of-the-art technology and dedicated researchers explore Nature to discover novel, and sometimes revolutionary, formulas for complete, natural, and long-lasting well-being. Vegetable oils, essential oils, vitamins, and active-rich dry extracts are the core components of BeC products. These are concentrated into next-generation formulas that ensure maximum skin tolerance, safety, and efficacy. We innovate continuously to always exceed your expectations.

Quality and Research Excellence BeC operates four internal research and quality control laboratories and maintains prestigious research collaborations with leading Italian universities. Every production stage takes place within our own advanced facilities, as proudly certified by our "100% Made in Italy" status. Furthermore, our operations are managed under an integrated international quality-environment system, certified ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.

Proven Performance In-depth laboratory controls test both functional cosmetic performance and the sensory experience—including aromas, fragrances, and textures. Efficacy trials are conducted within BeC laboratories, where we also verify the absence of allergy risks and ensure skin compatibility through patch testing.

Dear Customer

BeC has a precious history, born from the dream and passion of two extraordinary people: Bruno Coliva, the creative heart and mind of the company, who infused our products with a love for quality, attention to people, and care for the very essence of what we offer; and Elda Bedetti, our solid foundation and practical strength, who transformed that dream into a tangible and lasting reality, laying the groundwork for a strong and vibrant company.

Together, they brought BeC to life: a place where ethics, quality, entrepreneurial spirit, and a love for people's well-being walk hand in hand. Today, we—Anna and Luca—cherish their legacy with respect and gratitude, carrying forward their work, their values, and their passion every single day.

The heart of BeC beats thanks to all of you. Thank you for being a living part of this story, for continuing to walk beside us, and for allowing us to grow and improve together, year after year. With affection and gratitude.
