What are emotions?
We know that these are chemical reactions that are triggered in our brain and that require balance, a perfect balance.
At Barcelonesa we seek that balance. We know about chemistry and we co-create emotions, that’s why we work on knowing and offering the right elements so that our customers’ formula is perfect.
This is the only way to achieve good chemistry, together. Because the balance of chemistry is in each of us, as humans, as essence.
