Paquita Ors has passed away at the age of 96 leaving a great legacy within the cosmetics sector and industry. Paquita Ors, a pharmacist specialising in plant-based active ingredients, was born in Valencia in 1928 and is considered a feminist ahead of her time.
Ors, after completing her training, set up her own pharmacy in Valencia in the 1950s, when the insertion of women in the workplace was not yet commonplace or even well regarded in Spain. Paquita Ors was the first woman in the country to carry out image consultancy and botanical cosmetics. Her working life has been very long: Paquita Ors has remained active until the age of 89.
In his first establishment, he began to investigate the use of botanical extracts in dermatological solutions. It was not until 1988, when together with her son, she decided to create her eponymous firm with a focus on combining sustainability, efficacy and personalisation.
Today, Cosméticos Paquita Ors has establishments in Madrid, Barcelona, Zaragoza, and of course, in her homeland, Valencia, although it also has an online distribution at national and international level.
