A clear view on our ingredients
We are no chemists, but we surround ourselves with experienced people in the natural cosmetics industry. All formulas are 100% French. Our partner laboratories in Bretagne and Grasse work with us to put their French cosmetic heritage to good use.
At the start of each new formula, we put together a blacklist of ingredients. You will NOT find sodium lauryl/laureth sulphate, petrochemical derivates, silicones or microplastic in our formulas. All the ingredients are cultivated with respect for the planet, in a traceable manner, as locally as possible.
Here’s an overview of the ingredients used in our current formulas:
