Our philosophy

4 guiding principles

« It's really about taking a basic idea from nature, and improving it to meet your own needs. (...) Nature has managed to solve a number of problems over the years. So we can use bio-inspiration to help us come up with new ideas to tackle complicated problems. »

Jeff Karp, co-founder of Skintifique

N°1

Bio-inspired
skincare products

What is bio-inspiration?

It means observing Nature and the characteristics of certain animal or plants, understanding what they do, learning how they do it, and using this knowledge to solve problems facing humans

An example ?

It is based on the observation that many shellfish preserve themselves from ocean pollution, and a deep understanding of how they do it, that our scientists created Capturifique™, a technology that, among other things, helps minimise the impact of air pollution on the skin

N°2

SEEKING EFFICIENCY,
WITHOUT COMPROMISING SKIN HEALTH

Providing effective skin care will always be our priority. But this search for efficiency can never be done at the expense of your skin's health!

This is why every single one of our products includes only the ingredients that are required for their intended use and respects a strict blacklist of ingredients, elaborated from extensive research of the state of the art medical, scientific, regulatory and environmental literature. We are proud that this allows us to offer only products that are rated "Excellent" on EWG and similar applications.

An example ?

When traditional moisturizers use petroleum-derived ingredients (petroleum jelly, mineral oil ...) to create a micro plastic film around the skin (nothing natural here!...), we make the choice to amplify the action of Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF) thanks to our Activifique™ technology. The goal: to restore and strengthen the skin's hydrolipidic film, instead of trying to replace it with plastic!

7 ingredients

proscribed from our formulas

All our formulas have been developed to respect the most sensitive skin, while being particularly safe for everyone. For this reason, we have banned 7 types of ingredients from our products.

Fragrance

Fragrances are used to make products more pleasant to use. They have no other use than to be marketing arguments and they increase the risk of reactions for sensitive skin. They also take the place of ingredients that could have a real benefit for the skin...

Paraben

Parabens are commonly used as preservatives in the cosmetics industry. As endocrine disruptors, some of the most common ones are regularly pointed out as health risks and as accelerating the aging of the skin.

Silicones

Silicones are part of the range of occlusive ingredients, which means that they form a film on the surface of the skin, preventing it from breathing. Resulting from petrochemicals, they also contribute to the pollution of the planet.

Endocrine disruptors

Endocrine disruptors are substances that alter the proper functioning of the endocrine system, i.e. the production and action of hormones essential to metabolism. The World Health Organization (WHO) has been warning about these ingredients for several years, pointing to "an increased risk of health problems".

Alcohol

There is a common misconception in cosmetics that all alcohols are harmful to the skin. While ethanol and isopropanol dry out the skin, break down its protective film and increase the risk of skin reactions, fatty alcohols are not harmful to the skin and health. We have therefore removed the first two from our list of ingredients.

EDTA

EDTA or Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic Acid is used in cosmetics to slow down the proliferation of bacteria. However, it is accused of being toxic to health, polluting the planet and irritating the skin.

Essential oils

Of natural origin, essential oils are always a mixture of many molecules, most of which poorly known and studied. They therefore create an important risk for sensitive skins. They should also be avoided during pregnancy.

N°3

SEEK EFFICIENCY

Efficiency is not effectiveness!

Efficiency is putting the result obtained in relation to the resources used to achieve it. Efficiency means going to the essential.

Also, we systematically seek to use as few resources as possible (in our products, this means the fewest possible ingredients) to achieve the same or better results than conventional products.

Why is this interesting?

Each additional ingredient in a skincare product increases the risk of skin reaction or allergy. Therefore, the fewer the ingredients, the lower the risk. Efficiency is key when dealing with the most sensitive skin!

Efficiency also means greater energy savings, respect for the planet and sustainability. By making efficiency the guiding principle of our formulas, we help to preserve the planet's resources, while advancing skin care research!

For us, being clean means being able to combine, without false promises, clinically proven effectiveness for the most demanding skins with formulations free of superfluous and controversial ingredients.

The key? Innovation!
