Our formulation chart
We offer holistic cosmetic treatments that are infused with plants, effective and affordable.
Herbalists first and foremost, we create natural skincare products that are highly concentrated in plants, with formulas that are up to 100% active, with no unnecessary ingredients.
Aromatherapy, gemmotherapy, natural beauty, our treatments are organic, effective and accessible to everyone. This is what we call alternative care.
- alternative cosmetics because they take a different route from conventional cosmetics. Here, you'll find no synthetic or controversial ingredients, no over-packaging or false promises. Our skincare products are simple, honest, effective, plant-based and sensorial.
- We're pioneers because we give pride of place to humble plants that are close to us, and to the medicinal plants of European herbal medicine.
- And because our treatments are an invitation to connect with the great cycles of the seasons, to wrap yourself in plants. Care that makes you feel alive and well.
- And finally, because we believe in a different kind of society, and we're convinced that every company must make a commitment to changing the world today and tomorrow.
Making your purchases a positive act for the living world is what we believe in and what guides all our actions.
Our signature: plants from European botanical gardens
We want to put the spotlight back on European herbal plants. This is by no means a form of withdrawal: we love plants from all over the world, and some are unavoidable. However, for obvious ecological reasons, limiting transport and rediscovering the plants that are sometimes hidden right in front of our eyes seems to us to be a desirable new path to explore. Inspired by nature at all times of the year, we want to reinvent herbalism and offer a new, freer and wilder approach to cosmetics. We love the sometimes little-known plants that grow on the edge of verges, in forests and meadows.
In our bottles:
Cherry, Rosehip, Blackcurrant, Apple, Strawberry, Rose, Raspberry, Plum, Wild Carrot, Roman Chamomile, Yarrow, St John's Wort, Mint, Clary Sage, Hemp...
Rosehip and Raspberry are our signature plants, and you'll find them in (almost) all our formulas.
As local as possible
Between two ingredients, we always choose the most local possible and the highest quality. This means choosing plants that are as close as possible in terms of distance and transport. We apply the same approach when we use active ingredients in our cosmetics (such as vitamin C and hyaluronic acid). The social and ethical dimension also guides our choice of ingredients.
Priority to 100% plant-based formulas
We prefer 100% plant-based formulas. Why do we do this? Because these formulas provide 100% active nourishment for your skin, with no unnecessary or controversial ingredients. This is the case for all our Face Fluids and Seasonal Oils, which are 100% organic and 100% plant-based.
When it comes to the active ingredients in our creams and serums, we always choose plant-based ingredients and look for innovative alternatives to the leading synthetic ingredients on the market. For example, in our Anti-Imperfections Serum, we use a fireweed extract instead of the synthetic Niacinamide usually used in this type of serum
No water in our serums!
Our serums are formulated using organic hydrosols rather than water, as is the case with most serums on the market. Hydrosols provide your skin with all the benefits of the plants from which they are derived. They give our serums their natural, plant-based scents. This choice reflects our convictions: to offer you honest cosmetics, in other words, not to offer you skincare products that are 70% water, but always to wrap you in plants!
Pure, unprocessed vegetable oils only
We select rare and precious virgin organic vegetable oils for our skin care products. You'll find Rosehip, Raspberry, Plum, Sea Buckthorn, Apple and Sweet Almond oils in our formulas. These oils make up a large percentage of our formulas, up to 100% for certain skin care ranges (seasonal oils).
We never use processed oils (esterified oils and hydrogenated oils) to reduce the cost of a product and make more profit. In our bottles, we use real, unprocessed plant oils to provide your skin with the maximum amount of active ingredients.
Precious formulas at affordable prices
With each new creation, we put all our energy into bringing you precious cosmetics at affordable prices. This means cosmetics with compositions that are up to 100% active, full of plants, with the finest quality ingredients and above all effective for your skin.
