About us · since 1963

Laboratorium ALTA

A small Polish laboratory with a clear idea: take what is useful from plants and leave out what is unnecessary.

Our story

A formula philosophy that has endured for over six decades.

We are a Polish producer of natural cosmetics for foot care and hygiene. We have been operating continuously since 1963. From the very beginning of our activity, we have taken the best that nature offers to give you highly effective products based on natural ingredients and traditional recipes.

Our mission is to spread knowledge about foot prophylaxis and hygiene. We want to talk openly about the burdensome, and for many embarrassing, problem of excessive sweating and foot conditions. That’s why we run a guide with information and advice on foot hygiene.

Our products rely on the properties of Polish plants such as calamus, sage, or marigold. Thanks to specially composed blends of natural extracts and oils, our products are characterized by a simple, readable ingredient list.

Our philosophy is based on the motto “less is more.” We want nature to give what is best for everyone. The formulas of our cosmetics are carefully chosen, yet very simple — each one is based on a single key ingredient, without unnecessary additives. This is also reflected in our small, simple packaging, without unnecessary, non-ecological cardboard boxes or other extras, because our goal is care for nature.

Part of the Gorvita family

In 2026, Laboratorium ALTA became part of the Gorvita family from the Gorce mountains — a company that has been producing natural herbal cosmetics for years. ALTA keeps its own brand, recipe, and history; Gorvita is today responsible for production and sales.

Our philosophy

Less, but purposefully.

Two products, leading plant ingredients and packaging without unnecessary cardboard boxes. Simplicity is a decision, not a lack.
