The wonderful story of Bellefontaine Switzerland. Peter Yip, the creator of the Edelgen® complex, founded Bellefontaine in 2006, in Henniez, Switzerland. Bellefontaine has made an exceptional journey from a single local Swiss shop to one of the world’s most exclusive beauty brands.

Peter Yip had been living in Switzerland for more than forty years, and during this time he had won renown in the cosmetics world by establishing prestigious Swiss brands all over the continent of Asia. Passionately intrigued by the thousand-year old properties of traditional Chinese plants and fascinated by the wealth of flora that surrounded him in Switzerland; he was driven by a holistic notion: a global, total approach to beauty and youth.
