Welcome To Cosmydor’s Journal, Where We Share The Brand’s History And Its Views On Green Cosmetics, Organic Skincare, natural Beauty, Design, Nature, And Sustainability.

Born in Paris in 1877, Cosmydor offers a range of organic-certified creams, balms, serums, cleansers, milks and soaps for your face, lips, hands and body skin - all artisanally made in France using modern botanical and aromatherapy principles.

The brand is pushing sustainability in beauty to new standards with petrochemicals-free and 100% biodegradable products, regional sourcing of packaging, exclusion of plastic containers, and gentle manufacturing processes with no CO2 emissions, no waste of energy or water.

Cosmydor’s exceptional efficiency comes from a unique formulation philosophy: the best active ingredients are carefully selected and concentrated to the maximum - 10 to 25 times more than most existing skincare.

That is what Cosmydor calls virtuous cosmetics: preserving our planet’s beauty whilst taking the best care of your skin.
