EFFCI certification is the benchmark aimed at controlling the quality of our ingredients for cosmetics.
ISO 22716 certification
Lessonia is also certified ISO 22716, the mandatory standard for the manufacture of cosmetic productsin France.
Obtaining this certification ensures and justifies the seriousness of our quality approach.
A natural sustainable Cosmetic
The search for naturality and the enhancement of ingredients are essential in all the projects developed by Lessonia. We particularly pay attention to the choices of ingredients, favoring the use and upgrading of raw materials of natural and organic origins. Thus, we are able to offer products that comply with ISO 16128 and organic standards such as Ecocert Cosmos.
The Nature is a real source of inspiration and when observed with care and gentleness, it nourishes the most innovative project !
DEVELOPMENT OF INGREDIENTS THROUGH THE UPGRADING OF BY-PRODUCTS
AN “UPCYCLED” APPROACH
In our R&D process, we have always adopted a sourcing strategy based on the recycling of by-products.
The vast majority of the cosmetic ingredients we offer are derived from the recycling of of food industry’s by-product, considered as waste by these industries. By following this approach, Lessonia manages to give a second life to these “waste” by exploiting all their cosmetic richness.
This is how more than ¾ of Lessonia’s exfoliators are said to be “upcycled” or 246 tonnes of agro-food waste recycled into exfoliators.
Promotes the exploration of beauty in a more natural, lasting, simpler
In order to reduce the ecological footprint of cosmetic products, we propose to our clients the opportunity to “re-explore the beauty” by discovering the full potential of alternative and “upcycled” cosmetic ingredients as well as offering a sustainable cosmetic solutions.
Through our “REXPLORE BEAUTY” , we offer a multitude of solutions so that our clients can develop trendy cosmetic products while responding to the environmental challenges of the market.
