The brand's values

🧴 Zero plastic ↓

All products are biodegradable and made without plastic (except for toothbrush bristles which, although 62% bio-based from castor oil, contain some nylon).

🌀 Zero-waste lifestyle ↓

All products are designed to inspire their customers to realize that consuming more responsibly is not necessarily more complicated or expensive.

🇫🇷 Made in France ↓

The brand strives to offer products of the highest quality and, where possible, made in France (for example, bamboo straws are made in France, as are Marseille soaps or clothing).

🇪🇺 Made in Europe ↓

They offer products of the highest quality and, where possible, made in Europe (for example, beechwood toothbrushes are made in Switzerland or toothpaste tablets are made in Germany).

🐨 Vegan ↓

All their products are vegan, cruelty-free, and do not involve the use of animals at any stage of the production cycle.

🌿 Organic / Bio ↓

Whenever possible, they use raw materials from organic farming (such as the cotton used for clothing) or manufacture certified organic items (such as toothpaste).

🌳 Forest conservation ↓

They eco-offset their carbon emissions, notably by funding tree planting through organizations such as WeForest, for example. In addition, all their products derived from forestry are FSC or PEFC certified, ensuring the sustainable and responsible use of forests.

🗓️ Made-to-order production ↓

Some of their products, such as biodegradable phone cases or clothing, are initially designed on demand to avoid overstocking.

👐🏽 Social and solidarity impact ↓

They have developed numerous partnerships with associations they support through funding, sponsorship, and participation in events such as coastal plastic cleanups with the association Swim4Sea, for example.

⚖️ Fair trade ↓

They work in close collaboration with associations (the Fair Wear Foundation (FWF), for example) and support the corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies of their partners to ensure the safety of their workers. They guarantee decent working conditions by implementing mechanisms such as an internal Code of Conduct, monthly reports, and regular visits to their partner factories.

✅ Certified ↓

Their supply chain is certified by various highly rigorous independent organizations (Organic 100, Oeko-Tex, Fair Wear, Approved Vegan, Forest Stewardship Council, etc.)
