We are an independent French SME based in Salon-de-Provence. Our founders, Eric Renard and Xavier Padovani, are attached to Provence and are keen to offer natural cosmetics that promote deep-seated commitments and sincere ethical values.
From the very beginning, we have chosen to develop products that are as natural and accessible as possible, while at the same time respecting people and the environment.
With a presence in nearly 60 countries, our Group promotes French know-how and the high standards and quality of its production.
Our brands
Our expertise : nature as a research laboratory
The richness of nature is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for our R&D laboratory based in Salon-de-Provence. This means that we have to be exacting when formulating our products and sourcing our raw materials, in order to design formulas of natural origin :- Minimum 95% natural origin
– Regular reformulations in anticipation of regulations
– Improving the profile of our substances to limit our impact on the environment Transparency on the origin of our plant-based raw materials
– Launch of circular economy projects by recycling our production waste: for example, the use of waste from olive processing at the Moulin du Domaine du Petit Olivier.
Our core values
Our meaningful projects
Doing our best for beauty and well-being also means getting involved with our partners who work every day for a more sustainable future.
Protecting the condition of animals with La Tanière Zoo-Refuge, the sustainable Argan project and the Solar Village in Morocco, or raising awareness of the need to protect humpback whales in Polynesia with the NGO Oceania… each project in which we become involved embodies the philosophy of our Group and is based on the pillars of our CSR strategy.
