Our Products
Ingredients & Safety
We strive to use high-quality, traceable,
natural ingredients
(controlled-origin label, organic agriculture, sourced from local farming communities and
sustainable development programs
).
We prefer to use plant oils rather than
mineral oils
.
We have never used
animal products
(except for beehive products).
To ensure that our products offer optimum safety and effectiveness, we may use synthetic molecules when no reliable and effective natural alternative exists, while always erring on the side of caution.
We also offer 100% natural or
certified-organic products
on a case-by-case basis, when their safety and effectiveness can be perfectly guaranteed. (For example:
sensitive skin
cannot tolerate large amounts of essential oils and floral waters in
face care products
, and when a high level of alcohol is used as a preservative, this may irritate the skin).
We have kept in step with the development of the organic cosmetics specifications of
Ecocert
, an independent certification body, and belong to the
Cosmebio Association
.
Should questions arise regarding any of our ingredients in relation to health (
parabens
,
chemical sunscreens
,
phthalates
) or the environment (
silicones
,
SLES
), we revise our formulas, even if we are under no legal obligation to do so.
Today, 78% of our products are paraben-free. Our face care products (with the exception of
sun care products
) contain a maximum of 5% silicones. We also do not use phthalates in of our
fragrances
.
Formulation & Production
We develop our product formulas according to the principles of
phytotherapy
and
aromatherapy
.
We use active ingredients at an
ideal concentration
for optimal effectiveness.
The results of our research are patented.
We test the effectiveness and tolerance of our products under
dermatological supervision
.
Our products, or the ingredients they contain, have never been
tested on animals
, and we make sure our suppliers follow the same rules.
Our production factory sorts and recycles its waste and limits its energy consumption.
Packaging & Communication
We use paper, cardboard and wood from
sustainably managed forests
.
We limit the use of packing material and strive to
use recycled or recyclable materials
.
On our packaging, the Internet, and in our stores, we take care to give our consumers precise information. We place great importance on giving clear and transparent information with regard to the content and origin of our products.
