Production
HANDMADE COSMETIC PRODUCTS WITH NATURAL INGREDIENTS:
Plants, clays, vegetable oils, and essential oils.
Our products are handcrafted in our small workshop in the Var region, using vegetable oils and plants.
NATURAL INGREDIENTS: Our cosmetic products are colored with clays (red, yellow, white, or green) or plants (coffee, carrots) and naturally scented with essential oils. The primary raw materials used to make our soaps—olive oil and coconut oil—are certified organic.
COLD-PROCESSED SOAPS: Cold saponification is an artisanal, no-heat process that retains all the soap’s natural glycerin and preserves the properties of the oils and plant macerates. In the spirit of "slow cosmetics," this method requires a 4-week curing period, resulting in a high-quality soap that is both eco-friendly and gentle on the skin.
VEGAN SOAPS: Our ingredients and raw materials are entirely plant-based and involve no animal exploitation. For our solid balms and shampoos, we use a plant-based wax derived from a shrub (candelilla). Palm oil—the production of which is devastating to tropical wildlife—is strictly excluded from our recipes.
HANDCRAFTED IN OUR VAR WORKSHOP: Our Mediterranean plants (bay laurel, rosemary, lavender) are gathered from the forests or hills of the Var and then sun-dried in the local climate. Our soaps are created using the cold-saponification method, incorporating vegetable oils, clays, essential oils, and plants.
OLIOSCO = OLI (oil) + OSCO (bravo/well done) in the Provençal language! Kudos to oils for their moisturizing and purifying properties—and thank you to them for allowing us to extract the very best from the plants of Provence! OLIOSCO uses organic, first cold-pressed oils to draw out the properties of Mediterranean plants (through a maceration process) and to handcraft entirely natural soaps.
