ABOUT
Natural care inspired by apothecary traditions.
Our story began in the apothecary of the Hôtel-Dieu in Puy-en-Velay, where pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago were cared for over centuries. Inspired by this tradition, we create skincare products that highlight the power of plants native to Auvergne region in France.
OUR MISSION
We celebrate Auvergne’s botanical richness by using local plants in our formulas.
Verbena, Nettle, Chamomile, Cornflower, Sage… These plants, known for their soothing, purifying, revitalizing properties, are at the heart of our treatments. We use precious hydrosols and nourishing vegetable oils to preserve and amplify the natural benefits of each ingredient. This approach respects the natural cycles of plants, offering treatments that are effective, gentle, and balanced for the skin.
