All our products are developed and manufactured in France, in factories selected for their commitment to a sustainable development approach.
We favour a local supply, mainly situated in France and Europe, for all our packaging and conditioning.
Since 1950, our bestsellers have been packaged in aluminium tubes, a very light material that protects against the oxidation of formulas, allowing maximum restitution of the cream, and it is endlessly recyclable.
Our top priority is the efficacy and safety of our products. We favor short formulas where each active ingredient is meticulously chosen and measured, without compromising on tolerance.
We favor active ingredients of natural origin, derived from plants, which have a long medicinal or cosmetic tradition.
Our choice of natural active ingredients are never at the expense of safety. Certain vegetable ingredients may be irritating or allergenic, hence we always take care to choose what the skin tolerates best.
Synthetic ingredients are used to guarantee the the formula’s sensoriality and efficacy(preservatives to avoid microbiological contamination, sun filters to protect the skin, perfume for sensoriality).
To guarantee optimal tolerance, our formulas are now tested on sensitive skin.
We have always favored more reasoned consumption and multi-function products which allow short routines.
We are working to reduce packaging. Our outer packaging is made of paper derived from wood managed in a sustainable and responsible manner (mixed FSC), and single-material packaging is preferred to promote recycling.
Our outer packaging, leaflets, plastic bottles (PET), aluminium tubes, glass bottles and jars are 100% recyclable. Sorting instructions are now indicated for better management of end-of-life products by the consumer.
We are constantly working on improving our formulas and packaging to better meet expectations of our customers. We strive to incorporate eco design criteria into every new development:
we aim for a minimum of 95% ingredients of natural origin*.
To be more respectful of the environment, we work every day to develop our packaging by favouring recyclable and recycled materials:
- Our plastic tubes will contain 50% recycled plastic (PCR).
- Several products will change to aluminium tubes or glass packaging.
- Although there is still a long way to go and and we have many challenges to overcome, our goal is to greatly reinforce our approach to sustainable development.
*Excluding Artist Secret products, for which we aim for a minimum of 85% ingredients of natural origin.
