A story that began in 1880
D-Stillate is the brand that brings together the pharmaceutical experience of the Florio family, pharmacists for 4 generations, whose activity began in 1880. The Florio Laboratory is located in Naples, one of the centers of Italian pharmaceutical science, and is among the few in Italy to develop drugs for rare diseases, such as ALS and for orphans drugs.
Cosmetic and Pharmaceutical Laboratory
The passion for analysis and research into innovative formulas is the basis of the laboratory’s activity. Through innovation in the pharmaceutical field and a profound knowledge of cosmetic forms, Dr. Florio creates new and complex formulations that eliminate the use of ineffective substances and optimize that of active ingredients for better skin care. The choice to use only distilled water, for pure and microbiologically controlled products, and to create exclusively small productions, guarantees that each product achieves extreme effectiveness together with high artisanal quality.

Dr. Ettore Florio
(1880 – 1947)
Founder of the first Ettore Florio Pharmacy, created in Porta Capuana (Naples) in 1880, he was the family’s first preparatory pharmacist. The pharmacy was in fact a laboratory where the main activity was the preparation of medicines and remedies for all types of illnesses. In the Neapolitan environment of the time, Ettore Florio was close to figures such as Benedetto Croce, and an anecdote tells secret meetings were held to talk about politics and philosophy right in the pharmacy headquarters.
Dr. Ugo Florio
(1908 – 1991)
Ugo Florio, son of Ettore Florio, was a pharmacist, journalist, medical officer, president of the Neapolitan pharmacists’ union and national vice-president of the same union. He took over his father’s business at the beginning of the 20th century, with a great passion for galenics and the development of new formulas. Despite the advent of industrially produced drugs, his nature led him to add a character of innovation to his activity as a pharmacist- preparator. He moved the pharmacy to Piazza Leonardo, becoming one of the reference pharmacies on the thriving Vomero hill.
Dottori Patrizia ed Ettore B. Florio
(Dal 1985)
Ettore and Patrizia Florio started the business alongside their father and continued to manage it after his passing.
Patrizia Florio is a vaccinator and first aid pharmacist for BSLD. Her main activity is the management of the pharmacy and development also in the technological field. Ettore B. Florio expands the galenic activity by also creating cosmetological formulas and further developing the activity of the laboratory, which also specializes in the creation of orphan drugs. The imprint of innovation and, at the same time, of artisan tradition in the composition of medicines and cosmetics remains the family trait. Dr Florio develops the first cosmetic line and becomes a contract professor in Galenica in the pharmacy department of the Federico II University.
Dr. Brunello Barone Florio
(Dal 2017)
Graduated in chemistry and pharmaceutical technologies, after an experience in the pharmaceutical multinational Pfizer, he decided to carry on the galenic and cosmetological activity, under the guidance of his uncle Dr Ettore B. Florio, founding the D-Stillate Pharmaceutical Cosmetics brand, that brings together the passion for pharmaceutical science and skin care, the knowledge of formulators for 4 generations and the family’s character of research and innovation.
