The French are finally sharing their beauty secrets with us, and they come in the form of organic beauty brand Melvita.
Melvita has been making the French beautiful for over 25 years, with its affordable organic skincare solutions that work for both the skin and the environment. A well guarded secret that grew from the picturesque depths of the Ardèche Gorges in France, Melvita is now investing in clinically proving the efficacy of the product range and sharing the joy of organic beauty with us.
The largest certified organic beauty brand in France, Melvita boasts over 300 products in its top-to-toe beauty range, where EVERY product is certified organic by ECOCERT. Offering premium, ecological, everyday care for the whole family, with the range extending from Face care through to Bath and Shower.
Melvita was founded in 1983 on the site of an existing farm, deep in the countryside of the Ardèche Gorges, France, by biologist Bernard Chevilliat. He was fascinated by bees and the vital role they play in the ecosystem, and so he developed an Apiary on the site, becoming a professional beekeeper with over 500 hives.
It was his love of nature and the unspoilt countryside, and his knowledge of biology, that combined to form his mission to develop personal care products as close as possible to nature. Bernard Chevilliat’s passion for beekeeping was the inspiration behind the brand, with the first Melvita cosmetic range being based on products from the hive.
Melvita, a reference to life and honey, places “nature at heart” in all of its approaches. In 2002 Melvita was one of the first companies to obtain the ecological and organic ECOCERT certification. This certification covers the method by which raw ingredients are produced, the formulation, production and quality of the factory, and concern for the environment.
At Melvita, ingredients are organically farmed or responsibly picked to protect and preserve nature at all times. Melvita is involved in a proactive approach that encompasses sustainable development and the preservation of beauty, biodiversity and environmental balance.
“As a beekeeper, I have learnt the huge benefits that the plant world can offer, provided it is treated with respect. From this discovery I founded Melvita, one of the first skincare brands to be certified organic in France”. B. Chevilliat
We are excited to announce that Melvita will be launching on BigGreenSmile.com early February. See Melvita here.
