Our support for natural cosmetics and skincare
Organic cosmetics are a major trend, offering consumers the choice of consuming better for the environment and looking after their health with natural products. Cosmetic products have been using the virtues associated with plants for centuries.
Natural cosmetics fit in perfectly with local activities and the ecological transition. This is all the more true given that it uses very little water, with the possibility of producing cosmetic products without water, and that it uses few preservatives and no toxic ingredients derived from hydrocarbons, silicones, parabens or other polluting manufacturing methods. In addition, concerns about the non-use of animals in the manufacture of products for human consumption are encouraging the development of this sector.
Slow cosmetics, responsible cosmetics, farm-to-face, organic labels, vegan, cosmos organic, both at home and in business, natural cosmetics and skincare are winning over a growing number of people. Spending on natural cosmetics and personal care products is constantly rising. The profile of buyers is also changing, reaching out to new consumers. Natural cosmetics, with their promise of traceable ingredients, are a great way to start up a craft business. Do-it-yourself cosmetics have also become an individual activity for many consumers.
Calendula, mallow, sage, camomile, linden, lavender, arnica... are all part of our landscape. Whether cultivated or gathered from the wild, the range of plants is vast. Oil, an essential ingredient in the production of cosmetics, is increasingly being sourced locally, thanks to the creation of traditional mills. Plants and oils from other parts of the world also offer an infinite variety of possibilities for creating original recipes.
