Founded by Annemarie Buhler in 1972, ICB Manufacturing, Inc. dba  Time Laboratories, stands as a pioneer in the natural products industry.  Our product line appeared in the early 1980s as we assumed a leadership role in the establishment of benchmarks for the highest quality essential oils and natural products available on the international market.  We incorporate only the highest quality research-based raw materials into innovative formulations offered to our customers at competitive prices.
   
Mrs. Buhler is an innovative and highly respected formulator who brings her knowledge and expertise in the natural products industry from Switzerland to the USA.  She holds a California State Board of Pharmacy Certificate, and has more than forty years of experience in cosmetic and dietary supplement manufacturing. She was instrumental in the development of the first true time-release process used for vitamins and minerals and was one of the first to import therapeutic aromatherapy essential oils and functional plant extracts to the USA from Europe.

Annemarie was the Chairman of the Board of the first American Aromatherapy Association (AATA) founded in 1987.  She first brought Dr. Jean Claude Lapraz, a world-renowned pioneer in the field of clinical phytotherapy and aromatherapy, to the USA from France in 1989 to teach seminars to American health professionals.  She founded the Phyto-Aromatherapy Institute in 1992, and the Endobiogenic Integrative Medical Center (EIMC) in 2004.  Known internationally for her skill and dedication to phyto-aromatherapy, Mrs. Buhler was selected in 1993 as the U.S. delegate to the International Conference for Phytotherapy and Aromatherapy held in Tunisia, Africa.

In 1992, Time Laboratories sponsored the Phyto-Aromatherapy Institute (PAI), an organization dedicated to research and the therapeutic applications of essential oils and plant extracts at the international level.  In 2004, we sponsored the Endobiogenic Integrative Medical Center (EIMC) in cooperation with  Idaho State University Integrative Health Clinic.  EIMC sees patients seeking integrative medical care and is dedicated to research, teaching, and the clinical applications of functional plant extracts, essential oils, and natural dietary supplements.

Time Laboratories continues to dedicate itself to the use of only the highest quality research-based essential oils, botanical actives, and other functional raw materials.  Our diverse manufacturing capabilities include natural skin care products, spa and bath products, professional massage therapy products, essential oils and aromatherapy products, herbal supplements, specialty vitamin and mineral tablets and capsules, and protein powders.
