The Papa behind the line

It started with my daughters.

I started Papa & Filles because of my daughters. I wanted products made with ingredients I would be happy to put on them, and on me.

Reading labels turned into reading research. That research led me to peptides: short chains of amino acids, some of which your body already makes. GHK-Cu, the copper peptide at the centre of our first product, is one of them.

I liked the idea of starting with something the body already knows. So that is where we started.

Joseph Tito, founder

The name

Not & Sons.
& Filles.

For generations, family businesses have carried the same words over the door: & Sons. Et Fils. Papa is what my daughters call me, and Filles means daughters. So this one says father and daughters. That was the point.
