La Canopée: a 100% vegan commitment
At La Canopée, we have chosen 100% vegan cosmetics, an ethical and committed approach that goes far beyond simply formulating products without ingredients of animal origin. This commitment is based on a global vision: respecting animals, protecting the environment, and offering skincare that meets the skin's needs while being in harmony with our core values.
What it means to be 100% vegan in cosmetics
Being vegan means not only excluding any ingredient derived from animals, but also questioning practices that, while legally permitted, do not align with our principles. For example, in the cosmetics industry, in vitro tests can still use products of animal origin, such as fetal bovine serum or fertilized eggs. These practices, although technically "not tested on animals," do not respect our ethical standards.
We have chosen to break free from these shortcuts to go further. This requires constant vigilance, from formulation to marketing, including the rigorous selection of our partners and suppliers.
For us, veganism in cosmetics is a comprehensive and consistent approach. This is why we have dedicated years of research to developing alternatives to test our products without compromising our commitment to animal welfare. Today, we are proud to offer skincare products that fully uphold these values.

An uphill battle for ethical alternatives
Developing 100% vegan products often means thinking outside the box. For instance, the creation of our eye contour products was a challenge: we truly had to search, question, and work with laboratories to implement testing protocols totally free from animal substances. Ultimately, we adopted alternative methods, such as agarose and neutral red release tests, which use 100% plant-based substitutes.
This demand is not limited to testing: every ingredient we select is rigorously analyzed to ensure it meets our ethical criteria. Our products are formulated exclusively with natural plant-based active ingredients, thus offering an effective, ethical alternative that respects animal life.
An approach that combines ethics, effectiveness, and innovation
Choosing vegan cosmetics also means opting for responsible beauty. By excluding animal-derived materials, we reduce the environmental impact of our products: no intensive farming, no destructive practices for natural habitats. Furthermore, we ensure that our products are COSMOS certified, a guarantee of traceability, transparency, and sustainability.
We go beyond minimum requirements. Each La Canopée product is carefully designed in our own laboratory in Grasse, where we master every detail of the formulation. We are united around a single goal: to create sensory and responsible skincare.
The quality and effectiveness of our products are never compromised. Thanks to our expertise in green chemistry and continuous research, we develop high-performance formulas that care for the skin while respecting its natural balance. Our products, rich in natural and sensory active ingredients, deliver visible results while remaining in harmony with our values.
Transparency as a key value
We believe that every customer has the right to know what they are applying to their skin. That is why we are completely transparent about our processes and choices. If you have any questions about our testing methods or the origin of our ingredients, we are always available to respond and ensure your total confidence.
A future toward more respectful cosmetics
Adopting vegan cosmetics means participating in a global movement toward a more respectful and sustainable industry. At La Canopée, we are convinced that every choice counts. By choosing our products, you are supporting cosmetics that defend animal life, protect the planet, and offer exceptional skincare.
Join us in this commitment. Together, we can change the rules of the game and build a future where beauty goes hand in hand with respect and ethics.
