What is Laconicum
Laconicum is an extraordinary and independent cosmetics store for pioneering minds, beauty freaks and the curious.
That is our official and formal definition. We invented Laconicum in 2012 because Laconicum did not exist.
We traveled, we browsed, we bought cosmetics and shared our discoveries. We were in Kyoto and brought back essences that looked like spring water. We went to Stockholm and wondered about those strong, Swedish manes. Then we came back and told each other about them. That's the origin of this place you're in. We are cosmetic detectives. Today we continue traveling and discovering extraordinary brands.
We found the name of Laconicum by pure serendipity. Visiting a Roman house in Évora we saw a laconicum, a kind of sauna where residents and their friends would gather to relax and chat. Laconicum is a space for decompression and connection. We like you to buy, but also to come in, read, and discover.
Our brands are difficult to find in Spain, even impossible. Laconicum is full of oddities (we are snobs like that) and all our products must have an X factor that makes us fall in love. We seek results and also emotions. We believe in nature and science, especially when they go hand in hand.
We are terrible judges and We choose brands very carefully. We select inspiring, honest, and crazy cosmetics, just like our favorite people. At Laconicum, you'll find superbrands and small, emerging firms, projects from California and Galicia.
We like exclusives as much as anyone. Hello! We have launched in Spain, exclusively, brands such as: BBB London, Cowshed, Gallinée, Hair by Sam McKnight, Larry King Haircare, Legology, Pai Skincare, U Beauty... Discover our brands.
The cosmetics we like are those that care for our skin, our mood, and our environment. Beauty is on the inside, and beauty is on the outside.
