From idea to realization.
During an inspiring trip to Costa Rica, Nicolas imagined cosmetic products that showcase quality local ingredients, while offering fair remuneration to producers.
After several searches, he realized that it was difficult to find cosmetics that met his criteria.
Nicolas takes over the family farm and starts growing sunflowers to produce oil.
Nicolas contacted Boris, a chemist, and together they carried out the first solid soap tests.
They then came up with the idea of trying out liquid soaps! The same values and benefits as solid soaps, but accessible to a greater number of users thanks to the product's practicality.
The tests are more than conclusive. Boris and Nicolas launch production.
Charlotte joins the adventure to develop the brand identity and successfully convey the values of the products.
