Viorica has undergone an extensive rebranding

The Moldovan brand underwent a major rebranding, presenting itself to consumers in a new format

Spring began with a change to the visual identity of the largest cosmetics and perfumery company in the Republic of Moldova. The rebranding process is never accidental or superficial. In Viorica’s case, the rebranding was intended to highlight and align with the company’s significant growth in recent years, the crystallization of 30 years of experience, the establishment of a close and beautiful relationship with consumers, as well as a shift in the approach to developing and producing cosmetics—aimed at a firm, expressive positioning for the Viorica brand in the overcrowded market.

The brand’s new visual identity was developed in line with its philosophy, modern trends and the desire to preserve and value the company’s rich history. The central symbol Ō represents perfection and integrity, and the new logo, thanks to its simple, balanced shape, is presentable and easy to recognize. The Viorica decorative motif symbolizes the symbiosis of science and nature, tying the brand’s constituent elements into a unique visual style. The color palette conveys the ideas of calm, strength, quality, naturalness, harmony and purity of the new brand.

“For us it was very important to create a unique brand with a clear and integrous philosophy. We aimed to develop a modern, original, scientific and natural brand. I am absolutely sure that the new identity and the new Viorica style, its values and the new products will be highly appreciated by consumers.”

Andrei Tanculevici, Brand Director Viorica

Fundamental principle

The company’s future path is guided by the fundamental principle on which the new Viorica identity is built: the harmonious, balanced collaboration between botanical science and dermatological expertise in creating cosmetic products. Thus, all Viorica products are formulated from plant-based ingredients under the supervision of a team of dermatologists.

“The use of plants and natural components in our products has always been the brand’s DNA, but now Viorica is not just a ‘natural’ brand — it has become ‘natural-professional’ cosmetics. Our ambition is to offer consumers care products that are accessible, and at the same time honest, effective and safe.”

Vlad Chirtoca, Marketing Director

Mission

The new Viorica’s mission is to demonstrate that a skincare, haircare and bodycare product that is not only natural but also highly effective is entirely possible and accessible.

In this context, Viorica sponsors a unique eco-project in the Republic of Moldova, VioPark, whose objective is the cultivation of organic plants used as a source of raw material for cosmetic production.

Rigorous standards

In addition to the more than 1,300 harmful ingredients banned in the European Union for cosmetic production, Viorica has voluntarily given up a number of components which, according to the dermatology team, are unsafe and may affect health.

New products with a new approach

Aligned with the above, four new product lines were launched under the umbrella of the new brand. In addition to high-quality packaging and the new visual identity, the products — developed over the past two years in time for the rebranding announcement — aim to address a range of needs, primarily for women.

All the power and effectiveness of plant-based ingredients brought together in a special line for basic face and body care.

A specially designed line for face care during the cold season, to protect the skin from harsh weather and the effects of low temperatures.

A skincare and haircare system for preventing age-related changes, based on the unique Viephenol™ antioxidant complex obtained from Moldovan grapes.

Viorica online

And since no business can be conceived outside the internet anymore, Viorica has refined its style in the virtual space as well. In addition to the manifesto “who is the new Viorica” which can be found at https://viorica.eu, the site also hosts an online store where all the new products can be viewed with detailed descriptions and ingredient lists. For customers’ convenience, the company also provides free delivery (details on the site).

New identity – new plans for the future

The overcrowded cosmetics market is constantly changing. The industry’s challenges are the engine that propels the business toward significant achievements. And those challenges also create new opportunities. After the rebranding comes a substantial expansion of the product portfolio, and the next item on the company’s agenda is entering the international cosmetics market on the wave of growing demand for natural products formulated with plant-based ingredients that do not harm health. Viorica has all the tools necessary to achieve this ambitious goal.

“The last two years have been marked by changes within the company. We expanded our scientific team and involved dermatologists in product development; a partnership was initiated between local scientists and research organizations abroad. This was, in fact, the third stage in the company’s development, aimed at creating the foundation necessary for our competitiveness in foreign markets, so that later we can become a globally renowned brand. The new visual style of our brand aims to reflect these vital transformations of the products, as well as of the Viorica company.”
