The Ethos

Absolution is an innovative unisex skin care line, to suit both men and women. This French brand is EcoCert certified and is formulated with high levels of natural and organic ingredients, offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional skin care, with products that can be mixed to create bespoke formulas that adapt to the skin's needs. Packed with natural oils and extracts, Absolution creams and serums help reduce wrinkles, brighten skin tone, clear pores and firm the skin. Absolution is a committed brand: using eco-conceived packaging (recycled and/or recyclable, plant inks); choosing carefully selected suppliers who engage in a sustainable development process; reducing its production impact and sharing its benefits by giving 2% of their takings to the non-profit Care International organisation which works alongside the most vulnerable communities to fight poverty.

The Story

Once upon a time in 2009, there was a high end organic cosmetic brand created which combined 'bespoke options', 'excellent products' and real 'soul'…called Absolution. Absolution is the brainchild of Isabelle Carron, founder of the strategy and design agency Jak (Just a Kiss). Most importantly, Isabelle is very much into cosmetics and in particular, certified organic ones. Whilst working for numerous cosmetics brands throughout her career, she always had the feeling that something was missing: that intimate intuition you can have with your skin and the possibility to adapt your skincare daily to what it is trying to tell you…in short, bespoke products and simplicity. Isabelle’s independence and her desire to have the best cosmetic products finally pushed her to create her own cosmetic line: Absolution is a cosmetic resolution that mixes nature and care, design and modernity.

The Ingredients

All Absolution products are certified organic, containing at least 60% of organic ingredients and always more than 99% natural ingredients. As it would have been a shame to go without great ingredients such as wild plants, minerals and natural vitamins – which can’t be farmed, so cannot be certified organic – Absolution have chosen to integrate them in their formulas. Absolution is made in France; all suppliers are also located there and together, they are committed to sustainable development processes. All packaging is recycled and/or recyclable and printed with vegetal inks. All bottles are made from Polypropylene (PP) instead of glass, to guarantee the safest product which is preserved from oxidation and germs. What's more, Absolution guarantees that there will never be animal testing on any products or ingredients.
