Our formulation laboratory
Our formulation laboratory
30 years of research and innovation
NUXE has had its own formulation laboratory since it was founded. Its Research and Development team brings together passionate specialists in botany, skin biology, formulation and perfumery. Their expertise in natural cosmetology drives innovation, with more than 40 NUXE patent applications filed. The INPI, France’s National Institute of Industrial Property, has recognised NUXE as one of the most innovative companies by awarding it the INPI Innovation Trophy twice.
Clean beauty according to NUXE
Our approach to clean beauty is based on continually improving our formulas. From carefully sourcing raw materials to following our formulation charter, we seek the best balance between natural origin, efficacy, sensorial pleasure and environmental footprint, without compromising safety.
These are the choices we have made:
- Our formulas contain a high percentage of natural-origin ingredients.
- We use plant oils exclusively, a NUXE hallmark, because of their benefits for skin and hair. We have chosen not to use mineral oils.
- Our formulas contain no synthetic colourants.*
- We do not use animal-derived ingredients except bee products: honey, beeswax and propolis. All NUXE products are vegetarian; some contain these bee-derived ingredients. In addition, 90% of our care products are vegan, formulated without animal-derived ingredients or derivatives.
- We choose to avoid certain ingredients: our shampoos contain no sulphate surfactants, and our hair care contains no silicones.
Care systematically tested under dermatological supervision
NUXE is rooted in the rigour and quality of French pharmacy. In accordance with applicable regulations, every NUXE care product undergoes a safety assessment by an independent toxicologist. Our products are systematically tested under dermatological supervision. These clinical tests are carried out by accredited independent laboratories in the presence of a dermatologist, who assesses efficacy and checks for adverse reactions under real conditions of use.
Captivating fragrances, developed with care
Fragrance can be a source of emotion and pleasure and an important part of choosing skincare. NUXE develops its fragrances under a strict safety charter with systematic testing under dermatological supervision. Our development team works with expert perfumers to select precious fragrance molecules suited to the application area. Some people may be allergic to fragrance ingredients, just as others react to naturally occurring substances. We identify these ingredients transparently in our ingredient lists in accordance with applicable regulations.
*Except Prodigieux Radiance Powder.
