We’ve discovered many of our favorite beauty essentials in French drugstores over the years. Of course, as we’ve cleaned up our beauty routine, our favourites have changed (in fact, we wrote a report for the French pharmacy in the early days, and one of the products in it complied perfectly with our standards for cleaning today). But our love affair with French beauty – whether the products are truly French or simply emanates from this indescribable air of mystery and common sense – remains as passionate as ever. of a velvety orange skin balm and a rich, elegant cream infused with resveratrol ( The French Paradox The antioxidant complex found in red wine) to the smoothest, most lustrous hair styling cream ever, our French pharmacy-inspired obsessions are all clean—and they’re best in class.

hair colour

Our favorite at-home temporary color (also from French hair-dye star Robin) avoids most hair color problems: It’s made without PPD, one of the most common — and probably most dangerous — chemicals in hair color, and it doesn’t contain bleach, so you avoid damage. This is usually caused by hypercoloration over time. The formula also blends imperceptibly, looks as natural as the color Robin would give you if you traveled to his Parisian salon, didn’t smell, lasts for seven shampoos before fading, comes in four shades, and feels more like a hair treatment than hair. the color.
