Our Joyful Mission

Herbes Folles is a unique skincare brand, made to celebrate radiant skin with the potency of wild herbs.

We stand for the ubiquitous, spontaneous beauty all around us. Once regarded as medicine and nourishment, the plants we now name weeds play an important role in our ecosystems and are actually a source of powerful nutrients and antioxidants that we can benefit from.

For us, natural beauty means to embrace our own, singular and unique beauty.

With all the pressure regarding our appearance, this is a rebellious needed exercise! Please repeat after me: I am beautiful.

We create products that perform more than one function: beauty is simple.

Our products don't contain palm oil (nor it's derivatives), are cruelty-free and vegan. They are carefully formulated with high quality ingredients to offer protection and balance to the skin: vegetable oils and butters, hydrosols, plant extracts and a few cosmoceutical ingredients, acting in synergy to elevate your natural glow. Our range of products is manufactured in small batches in Belgium, in a laboratory specialized in natural and sustainable cosmetics. 

Our brand is NATRUE certified.

You can be sure that no GMOs, synthetic fragrances, artificial preservatives, mineral oils or petrochemicals are in our list of ingredients. Most of our suppliers have an active engagement on contributing to a more sustainable planet.

We are proud members of 1% for the Planet.

Because there is no planet B (and this is one is absolutely GORGEOUS), we support a global, environmental movement.

 

Our packaging is produced in Europe.

We use glass and cardboard as preferred materials, as we consider them more sustainable than plastic. Please reuse your bottles, they are beautiful! Our labels are produced from calcium carbonate & recycled polyethylene, materials available in very large quantities in nature, but also that it does not require high energy consumption, the exploitation of a precious resource such as water or trees, or the use of a sensitive product such as a bleaching agent. 

"People save what they love", said Michael Soulé. We truly believe we must engage in a love mission, for all the human and non human beings that surround us and make our beautiful world.
