ABOUT
Natural care rooted in apothecary traditions.
Our history has its roots in the apothecary of the Hôtel-Dieu du Puy-en-Velay, which cared for pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago for centuries. Inspired by this attentive and respectful approach, we have created skincare products that celebrate the virtues of plants native to Auvergne.
ASSIGNMENT
We celebrate the botanical richness of Auvergne by integrating endemic plants into the heart of our formulas.
Verbena, Nettle, Chamomile, Cornflower, Sage… These plants, known for their soothing, purifying, and revitalizing properties, are at the heart of our treatments. We use precious hydrosols and nourishing plant oils to preserve and amplify the natural benefits of each ingredient. This approach, respectful of the natural cycles of plants, allows us to offer treatments that combine effectiveness, sensoriality, and respect for the skin's balance.
