THE PROMISE OF EXCELLENCE
WHAT IS PLANT-BASED COLOUR? + −
Le Rouge Français stands out as a world pioneer in the use of plant-based pigments to colour its makeup products. We draw from a rich library of hundreds of dye plants, selected for their unique coloring qualities and biological benefits. Examples include madder, sorghum, indigo, Corsican chestnut, and Damask rose. These plants are endemic to preserve biodiversity and the local economy of the regions where they are cultivated.
WHY DO OTHER BRANDS USE PETROCHEMICALS? + −
99% of the industry massively uses synthetic pigments derived from petrochemicals – a petroleum derivative – or at best from minerals, but whose resource is not renewable. They are very economical, easy to manufacture and reproduce. If we use plant-based pigments, it is to guarantee absolute harmlessness, and to protect your skin and your health.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH TITANIUM DIOXIDE? + −
Titanium dioxide, or TiO2, is still permitted as a cosmetic ingredient in its micro-particle form – particle size larger than nano-particle. Titanium dioxide has been banned from the food industry since January 1, 2020, due to a proven carcinogenic risk. As women ingest an average of 4 kg of lipstick in a lifetime, we have chosen to remove it from all our formulas to guarantee you absolute safety.
WHAT DOES ECOCERT ORGANIC CERTIFICATION OFFER ME? + −
ECOCERT certification is currently the most demanding international cosmetic certification, going far beyond the blacklists established directly by brands or distributors. It controls the perfect traceability of products and restricts the use of many ingredients harmful to your health or the environment.
It guarantees that the manufacturer's formulas are natural or organic and that eco-packaging is fully recyclable. ECOCERT certification is renewed annually after an internal audit.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF YOUR PRODUCTS? + −
All our products are formulated with oils, butters, waxes, and other organic ingredients with natural active compounds. They help moisturize and protect your skin daily. We also incorporate other natural active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, which restores volume and tone, and probiotics, which maintain skin balance.
ARE YOUR NAIL POLISHES NATURAL, AND DO THEY LAST? + −
Our nail polishes are 12-Free and formulated with a bio-based formula made from over 81% renewable ingredients, including potato and cassava starch. Their colour is enhanced with natural pigments derived from red and brown algae, delivering rich pigmentation and long-lasting wear comparable to conventional nail polishes.
For optimal wear, we recommend applying our Lacquer as both a base coat and top coat. It helps hydrate and nourish the nails while improving the polish's durability and making removal easier.
