I was having a poke around for business information, and it seems that M Asam and Flora Mare come under the umbrella of 4Ever Young GmBH, with Marcus Asam and Axel Ruth listed as the two chief execs. This same company also makes a large range of perfumes and is described as being one of Germany's largest exporters in the cosmetics field, but I haven't been able to find a list of any other brands they may own or manufacture for. The spiel from Axel implies that he started his own small business after getting in partnership with scientists, but I guess it proves they can cover anything up with clever-speak. Although his products aren't bad.
I wondered if Judith Williams was part of this too, but it appears not, her company is based elsewhere.
Having said that, I still swear by Elizabeth Grant products. Very nice to use and much better value.
