Frequently asked questions

Do your organic cosmetics contain phthalates?

We do not use phtalates in our Organic certified products. All fragrances are of natural origin. 

We take the utmost care in the formulation of products, that contain more than 99.5% natural ingredients. 

Are there essential oils in your products?

We do not formulate our products with essential oils. On the other hand, the natural perfumes present in some of our products may contain them, but only in very small percentages in the final formula. The products that do not contain perfume are:

- the SPF50 and SPF50+ sun products, the SPF30 Lip Balm and the SPF30 Sport Lip Balm,

- the entire Reparative range,                                                                                 

- the entire Baby range,

- the Biphase make-up remover.

What is Alga-gorria®, your patented extract of red algae?

Alga-Gorria® is an exclusive active ingredient, extracted from the red seaweed Gelidium sesquipedale, specific to the Basque coast. Alga-Gorria® is a powerful antioxidant. It is made up of a combination of carotenoids (lutein and zeaxanthin) and mycosporin-like amino acids which give it a broad spectrum of free radical neutralisation.

Thus, by neutralising free radicals, Alga-Gorria® protects skin cells from radical attacks and prevents premature skin ageing.

Are your products vegan? Do you use ingredients of animal origin?

The entire Hydra-protect+ range, the Making-up removal cleansing care range, as well as our Nursing balm in the Reparative range and our Self-tanning drops are vegan.
For the other products that are not vegan, this is generally due to their galenics: for example, a solid texture like a stick cannot be obtained without beeswax.

This ingredient, which is the only ingredient of animal origin that we use, is present in the formula of the following products:

Are your products tested on animals?

Since our creation in 2011, we have not carried out tests on animals.

For information, animal testing of finished products and their ingredients has been banned in Europe since 2013 (when the European cosmetics regulation n°1223/2009 came into force).                                                               

Alternative methods are used to test our molecules and finished products. 

As far as raw materials are concerned, we systematically ask all our suppliers for certificates of non-testing on animals. 

What is your certified organic face scrub made out of?

Like all the products in the Make-up removal cleansing care range, the star ingredient is an extract of Sugar Kelp (Laminaria saccharina), that relieves sensations of tightness and revamps the skin's radiance.
Furthermore, our radiance face scrub is made with two plant-origin exfoliators: coconut shell powder and castor wax (plant-based). You will also find organic aloe vera and organic jojoba oil, for their moisturizing and soothing virtues.

What are the particularities of your organic shower gel?

Our certified organic shower gel has a soap-free and sulfate-free washing base. Its formula is composed of two marine active ingredients (brown algae and sea fennel) which revitalize the skin. Its foam is creamy and scented to create a unique moment of sensoriality.

What is this organic body scrub made of?

In our Océane body scrub, siliceous microalgae and sand of volcanic origin combine their natural exfoliating virtues to eliminate dead cells, smooth and refine the skin texture. But that's not all: 99.6% of the total ingredients are from natural origin!
