In picturesque South Tyrol, surrounded by breathtaking mountains and a diverse flora, the passion for plants was born that would form the basis for Team Dr. Joseph. In this inspiring setting, where nature can be experienced in its purest form, the founder, Erb. Dipl. Dr. Joseph Franz, discovered his fascination for the wonders of the plant world at a young age.

Return to the roots

Initially, Dr. Joseph Franz decided to study economics. But a sports accident led him back to his enthusiasm for nature. After his accident, he began to devote himself to his passion for herbal active ingredients and studied at the pharmacological university in Urbino. He also deepened his knowledge abroad and became intensively involved in naturopathy. His in-depth knowledge of the healing power of nature helped him to relieve his pain and even avoid an operation.

The emergence of the first high-tech Natural Cosmetics®

With inexhaustible curiosity and profound knowledge of plant-based active ingredients, he revolutionized the industry in 1986 by developing the world's first high-tech Natural Cosmetics®. At a time when the concept of "clean" skin care was still new and unexplored, he laid the foundation for sustainable, tested and certified Natural cosmetics, for which the brand is known today. Erb. Dipl. Dr. Joseph Franz began producing rinse-off products, refined with essential oils.


As a result, Dr. Franz began to focus intensively on gemstone cosmetics and quantum biology in cosmetics. In collaboration with Professor Senekowitsch from the University of Graz, he developed an innovative project that combined the principles of holistic natural cosmetics with the findings of quantum science. This creative phase enabled him to deal with a variety of interdisciplinary topics and make exciting discoveries about plant-based active ingredients. The combination of his extensive knowledge and his cosmetic expertise formed the foundation for the Team Dr. Joseph brand, which he still drives forward with great passion and dedication today.

Team Dr. Joseph: Ethical, social and ecological responsibility

Dr. Joseph Franz's philosophy is based on his conviction that economics and ecology are interconnected principles. For him, an honest economy that is based on economic principles forms the basis for a respectful approach to the environment.


He criticizes the economic understanding of the second half of the 20th century, when unbridled economic growth was sought without regard for ecological concerns. This one-sided approach caused significant long-term environmental damage, such as climate change, which current and future generations will have to pay the price for.


The values ​​of its brand Team Dr. Joseph are therefore firmly rooted in responsibility for ecological, ethical and social issues. These principles are not only corporate values, but also a legacy that is passed down from generation to generation of the family business. The tireless pursuit of quality and effectiveness of the products is inextricably linked to a respectful approach to nature and its valuable resources. Team Dr. Joseph's commitment to natural ingredients is reflected in every product, which is carefully developed to ensure the purity and effectiveness of nature's best raw materials.


Team Dr. Joseph stands for certified, natural and effective products. The entire range is certified by PETA as vegan and cruelty-free, skin-friendly and follows a holistic approach that respects the skin's natural balance. This promotes healthy and radiant skin. To minimize its ecological footprint, the brand uses recyclable packaging and sources its raw materials from regional and sustainable sources.


Through Plastic Bank certification, Team Dr. Joseph has positioned itself as plastic neutral. Every gram of plastic used in the products is offset by collecting and recycling an equivalent gram of plastic from the sea or nature. As part of the Green Future Project, Team Dr. Joseph measures its carbon footprint and is actively committed to protecting biodiversity by planting a mangrove seedling in Madagascar for every order.

High-quality and effective formulations

The formulations of team dr Joseph combine pure natural raw materials from wild collections or organic cultivation and biotechnologically optimized plant ingredients with proven effectiveness with advanced biotechnological processes to guarantee outstanding results for the skin. Each product is developed and manufactured with the utmost care in Italy, with an experienced team of skin experts, biologists and cosmetic formulators working together. The belief that nature has the best answers to many questions guides product development and inspires innovative solutions for healthy skin care.


Team Dr. Joseph proves that even long-lasting cosmetic products can be made without parabens and silicones. Instead of synthetic preservatives, the company uses a system it has developed itself that works without alcohol: a mixture of natural oil fractions protects the products from oxidation and strengthens the skin barrier at the same time. Team Dr. Joseph also uses osmotically purified mountain spring water, which is freed from impurities by reverse osmosis. This reduces the need for preservatives, as pure raw materials and clean water naturally promote shelf life.
