French Organic Beauty Care since 1983
Melvita, France’s pioneering certified organic beauty brand care offers effective top-to-toe beauty and personal care products for use everyday by the whole family.
Founded by biologist and beekeeper, Bernard Chevilliat, Melvita products are made sustainably in an eco-factory in France and are dermatologically tested and clinically trialled to demonstrate safety and performance. Containing potent plant extracts, herbs and essential oils the expert range created by an advanced Research and Development team of 25 people contains patented complexes and is a favourite in French Pharmacies.
The best-selling collections from Melvita include pure Beauty Oils and Floral Waters that nourish and hydrate the skin. The Beauty Oils, including organic and fair-trade Argan Oil, are first cold pressed and bursting with nutrients. Whilst the floral waters from pure steam distillation are gentle and hydrating – the best-selling Rose Floral Water from the range has recently been blended into a new Beauty Mist to refresh the skin on the go.
Each Melvita product is created to exceed the high standards set by ECOCERT France. These organic standards guarantee that: – At least 95% of the total ingredients are from natural origin (water included). – At least 10% of the total ingredients are from organic farming (water included). – At least 95% of the total plant-based ingredients are organic.
These very strict standards exclude, among others, products of petrochemical origin such as paraffin or silicone, ethoxylated or glycolated products (PEG, etc.) and the majority ofsynthetic preservatives including formaldehyde generators, parabens and phenoxyethanol. In addition to a list of ingredients to be avoided, each raw material complies with the standard’s ecological requirements guaranteeing its traceability.
The certification also applies to the packaging that must be recyclable, the production site environment, waste management, manufacturing and cleaning methods and all packaging equipment maintenance so that the impact on the environment is kept to a strict minimum.
In addition to this strong commitment to natural and organic beauty, Melvita also has a Corporate Foundation to support bees and their habitats. The Melvita Foundation has recently allocated funds to Friends of the Earth in the UK to build Bee Worlds – bringing much needed forage to urban areas in the UK. Launched in the UK in 2010 the products are available from premium outlets including John Lewis, Wholefoods Market and Feelunique.
