Là cosmétique d'ici is first and foremost the story of a friendship. That of Mylène Audit, a pharmacist from Périgord, and Léa Gintowt, a biologist from Bordeaux. They met in 2019 as part of the Master's program in "Management of health and innovative health activities" at KEDGE. Mylène and Léa quickly realized that they shared a passion for natural cosmetics and were fascinated by the richness of the French terroir, the beginning of a beautiful story...

 

Frustrated by the "French" natural cosmetics on the market: questionable efficacy, lack of sensoriality, ingredients from the other side of the world... Mylène and Léa decided to create Là cosmétique d'ici: a committed brand offering effective skincare products with sophisticated textures and fragrances that are healthy for the skin and the environment.

" A French brand, as we understand it: all our plant-based raw materials are French, and we work exclusively on a circuit-court basis with local artisans and producers. We drew our first inspiration from the heart of the Périgord region. After much research, we discovered the power of walnut oil for the skin. We created a range of four skin care products, for face and body, based on this oil, emblematic of the Périgord region ", say the two founders.

Walnut oil: a precious skin care oil

Walnut oil has a high concentration of antioxidants and omegas 3, 6 and 9. This gives it antioxidant, regenerating and healing properties, making it a perfect beauty ally in the fight against the signs of aging: " We have our walnut oil produced in the Dordogne valley. It comes from organic PDO Franquette walnuts and is cold-pressed to preserve all its benefits. All our products have been developed from this precious raw material. "

 

The first range consists of pure walnut oil as a facial care product,a radiance & anti-aging day cream,a dry oil in which walnut oil is combined with other organic oils from Aquitaine, and a surgras soap with walnut oil.

Effective, sensorial products

The two founders offer effective products, concentrated in active ingredients with proven efficacy, as well as high-quality organic French plant oils. " We assemble them in our skincare products for targeted synergistic action. At Là, we are committed to offering natural products without compromising on the pleasure of a beauty routine. As such, each formula is thought through and developed to offer a unique sensory experience. "
