Our story: La Canopée
La Canopée is, above all, the story of two sisters who are both visionary and passionate. In 2017, they gave birth to a cosmetics brand that is 100% natural, 100% vegan, and proudly made in France.
Cécile, a chemical engineer specializing in green chemistry, and Juliette, a designer and communications expert, dedicated three years to intensive research and development to create exceptional skincare products.
Since then, eight years of commercial success and close contact with their customers have allowed them to build solid expertise in green chemistry, a field at the heart of their approach.
Why "La Canopée"?
The name La Canopée (The Canopy) was not chosen by chance. It came from a spontaneous suggestion by Cécile and Juliette’s father.
In botany, the canopy refers to the upper layer of the forest, where treetops rise and intertwine to form a dense, lush, and life-filled green canopy. It is a world of its own, still little-explored, which harbors remarkable and often unique biodiversity. A place of symbiosis and balance, where every species plays its role in perfect harmony.
It is this spirit that La Canopée infuses into every one of its formulas: living cosmetics, 100% natural, which draw upon the richness of plants to reveal the full beauty of the skin. This name is a promise: that of a powerful, preserved nature placed at the heart of everything.
What is green chemistry?
Green chemistry is the knowledge of the chemistry of natural ingredients, their synergies, and the interactions they can have with one another to achieve the desired efficacy.
It also relies on a scientific approach aimed at minimizing environmental impact while guaranteeing optimal effectiveness.
At La Canopée, every formula is a perfect balance between science, nature, and sensoriality, testifying to the brand’s commitment to offering skincare that is respectful of both the skin and the planet.
A human story and a committed team
Over the years, this project, spearheaded by two sisters, has become a true human adventure. A passionate and dedicated team has formed around Cécile and Juliette.
Each person contributes their own expertise, enriching the brand with their creativity, skill, and commitment.
Together, they share a common vision: to offer natural, high-standard, and sincere cosmetics. Each idea and each formula is born from genuine teamwork, where exchanges fuel creativity and strengthen the brand's founding values.
This collective energy is the driving force behind La Canopée, a company that has remained independent. This independence guarantees total freedom of spirit and enterprise—a precious asset for creating without compromise and offering incomparable quality.
Partners who share our values
This adventure would not be the same without our precious partners—passionate resellers who, like us, share a common vision and strong values.
Whether in boutiques, concept stores, or beauty institutes, they are the ambassadors of La Canopée, transmitting our expertise and commitment to 100% natural, 100% vegan, and made in France products with care and enthusiasm.
Thanks to them, every customer enjoys a unique and personalized experience, created in a true spirit of trust and proximity.
Tailored support at every stage of life
La Canopée’s primary desire is to support every individual through every stage of their life. Cosmetics are far from superficial; on the contrary, we use the riches of nature to meet profound needs that are intrinsically linked to our lives and our biological reality.
At La Canopée, we cultivate the human element. This strong bond with our customers is based on much more than the efficacy of our cosmetics. It is also based on the care we take in advising and guiding them.
It is this kindness and attention to detail that build customer loyalty, as they know they will find adapted solutions and attentive listening with us.
Nature, a story to be shared
In Grasse, at our laboratory and manufacturing workshop, we imagine and craft every skincare product with attention to detail and unwavering passion. We believe that nature is a precious treasure—a living story to be shared with each and every one of us.
This is why we don't just create products; we want to transmit our philosophy, a lifestyle respectful of the environment and of life itself.
