The royal hydration

The terme “pomade” comes from the Italian word “pomata”, derived from “pomo” since the first recipes contain apples. It is the first example of a combination between a fatty substance and a vegetable for a nourishing and refreshing effect.  The cucumber pomade has become a fairly common but expensive product, using a very specific species of cucumber: the Bonneuil’s white cucumber. This pomade was one of the beauty secrets of Marie-Antoinette for moisturizing hands and face, until this variety disappears at the end of the eighteenth century.

Cherished in te royal pharmacopoeia for its high moisturizing power so much loved by the Queens, Mademoiselle Saint Germain reintroduced in the King’s Garden of Versailles this species of cucumber in collaboration with the National School of Landscape.

The Bonneuil’s white cucumber associated with French rhubarb rich in vitamines will give birth to a line of skincare ideal for fragilized skins by the daily routine and the hazards of modern life by offering them:

• HYDRATION
  Thanks to its hydroglycerined extract of Bonneuil’s white cucumber. In addition, a feeling of freshness.
• ENERGY
  With its rhubarb extract that tones the skins thanks to its high concentration in vitamin C. It helps to stimulate subcutaneous micro-circulation, detoxify and tighten pores.

Why our cosmetics are different?

Mademoiselle Saint Germain, is the first cosmetic brand prioritizing the use of French ingredients. Instead of using ingredients from other parts of the world, our vision is to “better consume” and “consume local” by drawing on the richness of our terroirs and history.

Mademoiselle Saint Germain is:

• Confidential: inspired by historical beauty secrets in limited editions to offer the best of plants to our skin.
• Authentic: by the history in which it draws its roots and by its vegetable asset from the King’s Potager which respects the standards of culture without any fertilizer, pesticides and without weed killer.
• Eco-responsible: a choice of primarily local raw materials and recyclable containers.

The naturalness, the transparency, the zero-waste and the French origin of our ingredients are essential characteristics of Mademoiselle Saint Germain. A natural brand representing a new way to take care of our skin at the same time as the environment.
