What's wrong with titanium dioxide?

Titanium dioxide, or TiO₂, is still permitted as a cosmetic ingredient in its microparticle form, with particles larger than nanoparticles. Titanium dioxide has been banned from food products due to concerns about its potential carcinogenic effects. Given that women may ingest lipstick over the course of their lifetime, we have chosen to remove titanium dioxide from all our formulas as part of our commitment to product safety.

What does ECOCERT Organic certification offer me?

ECOCERT certification is currently the most stringent international cosmetics certification, going far beyond the exclusion lists established by brands or retailers themselves. It ensures full product traceability and restricts the use of numerous ingredients that may be harmful to your health or the environment.It guarantees that manufacturers' formulas are natural or organic and that their eco-friendly packaging is fully recyclable. ECOCERT certification is renewed annually following an internal audit.

What are the benefits of your products?

All our products are formulated with oils, butters, waxes and other ingredients sourced from organic farming, naturally rich in beneficial compounds. They help hydrate and protect your skin every day. We also incorporate other natural active ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, which helps restore volume and firmness, and probiotics, which help maintain the skin’s natural balance.

How do I refill my lipstick case?

Our lipsticks are refillable. Each lipstick consists of a transparent, bio-based case designed to last a lifetime and a refillable cartridge containing the lipstick itself. Once your lipstick is finished, you can simply purchase a new refill in the same shade or choose a different one to switch up your look.

How can I choose my shade with confidence?

If you're unsure about your shade, we offer complimentary shade exchanges after purchase. Because finding the color that brings out your natural beauty should always be a pleasure.

THE PROMISE OF EXCELLENCE

POURQUOI CERTAINS DE NOS ROUGES À LÈVRES CONTIENNENT-ILS DES SELS D’ALUMINIUM ?

+ −

Certains de nos rouges à lèvres contiennent de l’alun de potassium (Potassium Alum), un sel d’aluminium utilisé en association avec nos pigments végétaux pour fixer et stabiliser la couleur. Il n’est donc pas présent sous sa forme libre dans la formule.

Le Comité scientifique européen pour la sécurité des consommateurs (CSSC) a évalué la sécurité des composés d’aluminium en cosmétique. Ses évaluations, actualisées en 2024, concluent que leur utilisation est considérée comme sans danger pour la santé, aux concentrations et dans les conditions d’utilisation étudiées.

WHAT IS PLANT-BASED COLOUR?

+ −

Le Rouge Français stands out as a global pioneer in the use of plant-based pigments to color its makeup products. We draw from an extensive library of hundreds of botanical dye plants, carefully selected for their unique coloring properties and biological benefits. These include madder, sorghum, indigo, Corsican chestnut and Damask rose. These plants are native to the regions where they are grown, helping to preserve biodiversity and support local economies.

WHY DO OTHER BRANDS USE PETROCHEMICALS?

+ −

99% of the cosmetics industry relies heavily on synthetic pigments derived from petrochemicals (petroleum-based substances), or at best, mineral pigments, which come from non-renewable resources. These pigments are inexpensive, easy to manufacture and reproduce. We choose plant-based pigments to guarantee absolute safety, protect your skin and safeguard your health.

Cela faisait longtemps je cherchais un rouge avec cette couleur légèrement framboise et surtout, hydratant. J’ai découvert la marque Le Rouge Francais grâce à un petit encart dans un magazine t j’e suis ravie !

La nouvelle teinte est vraiment plus lumineuse. Mélangée au Rose tinctoriale (040), elle apporte une profondeur superbe sur ma peau noire
