French Skincare and Cosmetics

After much research, Marie-Helene from Remember Provence selected what she feels are the best Provencal skincare and cosmetics. These hand-picked products include highly effective face creams, floral waters, vegetal soaps, body and hand care lotions enriched with essential oils or organic butter shea.

She selected beauty products that contain 100% ingredients of natural origin, handcrafted in Provence by artisans who care about the environment.

Gentle on the skin, these cosmetics are pleasant to use, thanks to the natural scents of the elements, plants and fruits native to the region: lavender, olive oil, immortelle, calendula, citrus fruits, spring water from Mont Sainte Victoire near Aix-en-Provence.

Enriched with fresh goat’s milk or donkey’s milk from animals raised in Provence, the soaps are gentle, eco-friendly and hypoallergenic.
