History of the San Jorge Ltda Laboratory.

History

History: Since 1956, Chemist Alberto Vásquez and his wife Ángela Barreneche, owners of the San Jorge Pharmacy, attended to the health needs of the people of Cali, selling medicines, cosmetics, chemical products and developing master formulas and exclusive products that became known for their effectiveness and quality.

The growth of the business and the quality requirements for the manufacture of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products led to the creation of Laboratorio San Jorge Ltda in 2000, which began the manufacture of medicines and cosmetics formulated with Don Alberto’s pharmaceutical ancestral knowledge of natural ingredients, recognized since 1956.

The evolution of Laboratorio San Jorge to provide products that meet the highest quality standards and excellent positioning in the market resulted in a pharmaceutical plant certified in Good Manufacturing Practices to produce liquid and semi-solid topical products, a cosmetic plant with ISO 22716 certification which produces facial, body and hair products in liquid and semi-solid presentations and a master formula plant specialized in topical products.

At Laboratorio San Jorge, we innovate every day to strengthen our product portfolio with formulas that stand out for their quality and effectiveness, developed by pharmaceutical chemists who preserve the principles of using the best of science and nature in each product, providing well-being and health.

Laboratorio San Jorge has a portfolio of products specialized in skincare, with leading brands in Colombia that are sold in many pharmacies, grocery stores and specialized stores in the country, and that are projected to grow on the American continent.

We research, educate and promote skincare and health by developing highly effective products for the community, thus contributing to generating progress and development.
