No secret recipe
All of our cosmetic products are made from three families of ingredients. They combine effectiveness, tolerance and satisfaction of use with complete safety, throughout their lifetime.
Our recipe?
- Active ingredients extracted from the plant world, for product efficiency
- One or more excipients, to create a pleasant texture and to ensure the proper diffusion of active ingredients
- Other ingredients to complete our formulas: a conservation system to preserve them over time, pH stabilizers, or fragrances for some products, to be pleasing to the senses and so on.
A controlled process at every stage
In order to create formulas that combine quality, safety and effectiveness, these parameters need to be checked at every stage of our product’s development. To do so, we perform over 450 measures and tests with an independent toxicologist.
Each product must pass 450 tests
All these measures include stability tests under normal and extreme conditions, product safety tests (evaluation of antimicrobial protection), in vitro safety tests on reconstructed skin models and in vivo clinical tests under dermatological control.
Each product must pass all of these tests before it is marketed.
An independent toxicologist involved in all stages
To guarantee the safety of our products, we call an independent toxicologist in (i.e. someone who is not employed by our laboratories).
Their mission? To intervene at all key stages of our product development:
• To evaluate and participate in the approval of each ingredient
• To validate the formula and checks its safety for babies and pregnant women
• To check and commit to the safety of the finished product before it is marketed
No product is marketed without this expert's validation, at each stage of the above stages.
Monitoring of quality and safety on the finished product
We carefully monitor the life of the product once it is on the market. We handle all complaints and adverse effects with utmost care and attention, as part of our quality and cosmetovigilance process.
