Meeting with La Canopée

The natural brand La Canopée was born from a common passion between two sisters:natural beauty. La Canopée is a range of organic products, with ingredients 100% of natural origin, vegan and formulated in France . The brand meets the needs of all skin types and offers an animal-inspired design on their packaging. The two sisters are of a very committed nature and do their utmost to have the lowest possible ecological impact in their personal and professional lives. Meeting with Juliette, one of the co-founders of La Canopée!

Above all, do you introduce yourself and your brand?

“Cécile is a chemical engineer in cosmetics and I, Juliette, have a degree in design and environments. We are sisters and 6 years ago we had a dream:La Canopée. A cosmetic brand 100% of natural origin, 100% vegan and made in France. It took us 3 years to develop the brand, the formulas and the whole universe! It's been 3 years now since we marketed our cosmetics. La Canopée offers face care, which is our core business, and body care. We formulate, manufacture and ship everything from Grasse, our hometown!”

What is your definition of female beauty?

”The one that suits him! Cécile and I are not too sophisticated, we are not the classic portrait of women passionate about cosmetics. What interests us is to give the tools and the keys to understanding your skin, the properties of each ingredient to leave the free choice to our customers! Taking care of yourself, knowing yourself well, refocusing, these are terms that we hear more and more yet, it is so hard to do. A woman is beautiful when she assumes herself, knows herself and takes care of herself as she sees fit!! It's finally freedom! “

Who is your female role model and why?

"There are so many ! This year, like many people, I discovered Gisèle Halimi late and unfortunately on the occasion of her death. I was extremely moved to discover his battles, so crucial, an extraordinary personality and such modernity. I say to myself, what a woman! What a free and courageous woman! A destiny like his impresses me enormously and gives us all strength.”

What is your favorite quote?

”This year I tell myself that our leitmotif is:“we reap what we sow”! By cultivating kindness, politeness and good humor day by day, it really influences the human atmosphere and I admit that at the moment receiving smiles in exchange for ours, it feels a lot of good! When you sow love, I'm sure you end up reaping it. It is never lost, nor in vain!”

A message to all women?

“You are wonderful!!! One of my best friends writes to me sometimes just to tell me how wonderful I am, ahaha, yes she is great I know that, and well just reading her message brightens my day. So I pass it on my turn:You are wonderful! “

Effective and sensory natural ingredients

Three years is the time it took Juliette and Cécile to imagine their first range of 26 products. In search ofquality raw materials and natural cosmetic active ingredients , the two sisters traveled hundreds of kilometers to find components that met their expectations. La Canopée is natural cosmetics with active ingredients that respond to each skin problem. Anti-ageing, detoxifying, purifying, softening or even nourishing, each cream has its own mission to take up. At the heart of their natural products, plants! And that from all angles:essential oils, hydrosols or vegetable oils . La Canopée takes things even further with their desire to work with virgin, unrefined raw materials . The result ? Beauty products that are concentrates of fauna and flora. Their range is a real walk in nature:products with pronounced colors and powerful smells! In some products, you can even see pieces of green tea, almonds, annatto seeds or even flowers floating. Nature in its most beautiful device! All natural components are present in the product for a reason which makes their INCI list concise and effective . To offer the best quality organic cosmetics, the brand sees its products as seasonal products . A bit like fruit and vegetables in the market:when it's not tomato season, you can't find tomatoes! The producers with whom they work are sometimes very small local producers who produce in small quantities. So rather than importing raw materials from other countries, the brand prefers to wait a year to be able to formulate products with the flowers of the neighboring producer. A risky bet but which shows the company's desire to respect its raw materials and the cycle of nature .

Recyclable packaging

The French cosmetics brand aims to recycle as much as possible. For this, they have invested in recyclable materials for all their product! Even the spring that allows the pump to work properly is made of recyclable plastic and not metal like in most pumps. Once finished, your product can be put entirely in the yellow bin to find a new life! The boxes in which the creams and facial care are packaged should also be put in the sorting bin.
