What is Slow Cosmetics?

Slow Cosmetics® is above all a movement that promotes a more ecological and reasonable consumption of cosmetics. It is represented by the Slow Cosmetics Association and a community of over 300 brands.

"A movement working towards a more authentic and healthier cosmetics industry."

Every year, the Slow Cosmetics Association conducts advocacy campaigns and applauds committed cosmetics brands by awarding them the Slow Cosmetics Label, a quality label that guarantees a natural product without synthetic materials, as well as without controversial compounds for health or the environment.

In a world where everything is becoming "fast" - fast-fashion, fast-food, fast-beauty - and where overconsumption is becoming a marker of our frenetic pace of life, the Slow attitude becomes a true counterbalance and invites us to slow down.
It's a way of life that applies to all aspects of life and consumption, making it more reasonable, fairer, and more respectful of the environment.

"The ecological and psychological impact of current cosmetics is very heavy for the planet, for our wallets, and for our state of mind. Faced with this observation, some say that another kind of cosmetics is possible."

Julien Kaibeck, Founder of Slow Cosmetics
