The La Roche-Posay brand
La Roche-Posay is part of the French cosmetics brand LOreal, which in turn is the largest cosmetics manufacturer in the world. La Roche-Posay products are best known for their high tolerance. This means that even very sensitive skin types can tolerate the products. For example, the products are prescribed for various skin conditions such as acne, atopy, eczema, and so on. La Roche-Posay products are also used for dehydrated skin, to combat skin aging, as shampoo or as make-up. Each new product is extensively tested on test subjects and La Roche-Posay collaborates with dermatologists all over the world. The input from these dermatologists is used, among other things, for the development of new products.
Composition La Roche-Posay
The composition of La Roche-Posay products is as minimalist as possible: the more ingredients, the more adverse effects this can have on sensitive skin types. La Roche-Posay products are all 100 percent hypoallergenic and contain no chemical fragrances or other irritating ingredients. Sensitive skin is also taken into account when choosing the packaging. The packaging has been developed in such a way that the risk of growth and transfer of bacteria is kept to a minimum.
Thermal spring water
The cosmetic brand La Roche-Posay is known for the thermal spring water that is used in all the brand’s products. The thermal spring water emerges in the French town of La Roch-Posay in the heart of France. Since the seventeenth century, thermal spring water has been known for its medicinal (antioxidant and calming) effect on the skin.
