The simple beauty, without artifice, authentic...
The concept of Absolution is simple: restore, preserve and protect the natural ecosystem of the skin. In short, to reconnect with your natural beauty. The very authenticity of beauty. And since it is one of d'Angarde'score values, we are delighted tohighlight this brand.
On the occasion of this collaboration with Absolution, we interviewed Julie, the brand's communication manager.

Where was Absolution born? How did it grow? And why Absolution? |
|
J. |
Absolution was born in 2009. Isabelle, our founder, was the director of a communication agency and worked for cosmetic brands. She could not find herself in any of them, neither in terms of values nor in terms of quality. So she imagined the ideal brand, but initially with the aim of presenting it as a case study to inspire the brands she worked for. And then she thought, maybe it wasn't such a bad idea to launch it!

How do you make cosmetics that are respectful of health and the planet? |
|
J. |
It's a long-term job. It is not enough to have organic formulas because today, it is not the most difficult. You have to choose the packaging that will have the lowest impact while being the easiest to recycle. We must also take into account the service providers and suppliers we work with, and make sure that everyone is involved. We must also make sure that at the very beginning of the chain, the producers of raw materials are in the same approach as Absolution... So when we find them, we keep them, and most of them are with us since the beginning. |

What do you like to share with your community? |
|
J. |
We like to share our vision of beauty: non-gendered, because with a few hormonal differences, women and men have the same skin, so there is no reason not to use the same care products; organic, and as organic as possible (we are on average 52% organic, where labels require 15%); the most respectful of the planet possible. This beauty is not only physical, it is also in the world around us, and that is something we share on our media. |

What do you think is a good "Morning Routine"? |
| J. |
A good morning routine starts with a good night's sleep, because no cosmetic can replace that (at least not in the long run). Then, you have to remember to rehydrate as soon as you wake up because you just got out of a 7-8 hour fast, so you have to recharge your water batteries. Try to make some movements, without going to run 10 km (unless it is your hobby) but enough to wake up the body gently, to boost the circulation and especially that of the lymph which unlike blood, has no pump to circulate. The breakfast is according to your desires: there is the school of intermittent fasting and the school of the breakfast which stalls until midday. You have to know how to listen to yourself, nothing suits everyone so on this point, we let you trust yourself! On the care side: no cleansing in the morning, and this cannot be repeated enough. It completely disrupts the hydrolipidic film and just pushes the skin to produce more sebum. The only excuse to cleanse your skin in the morning is if you use a retinol-based night cream. But other than that, just a little cool water if you're lucky enough to live in an area where the water isn't too hard, and if not, a hydrosol. Then, a serum according to the needs of the day (rather hydrating or vitaminized if you had a small night...), your day cream, without forgetting the contour of the eyes. Makeup or not, it's up to you :) |
| S. | What do you find most beautiful in nature? |
| J. | The beauty of nature is that it has almost all the answers to our ailments, and this is also true for skin ailments. Chemistry has been trying to imitate nature for a long time, and this is the proof that it works! |
| S. | What is the best thing you've ever done? |
| J. | It's about creating skincare products that have allowed so much skin to live again, perhaps! It's our little victory every day and what keeps us going. And we try to share this, by setting up partnerships that make sense: giving a part of our profits to the women's house and to Ecotree for example. On the one hand an association that accompanies women victims of violence, on the other a company that works for the reforestation of French forests... We can't be on all fronts, but if we can already bring our little stone to their buildings, it fills us with joy! |
Taking care of yourself and respecting the planet: it's possible
Whether it is for Angarde with our shoes or for Absolution with our cosmetics, proposing environmentally friendly products is a long term work. It is a real state of mind.
So everything has been thought to apply this commitment:
Absolution products are all certified organic and natural, without petrochemicals, phthalates, surfactants, mineral oils or parabens. From the design to the production and the choice of packaging, each decision is a step towards sustainability.
And because our moms deserve the best...
We have decided to include the Absolution Black Soap (a 12€ value) in your orders until May 29th. We like its atypical packaging in which hides a solid soap with spicy notes and a perfume to fall... Enriched with Propolis, activated charcoal and essential oil of Tea Tree, it is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive.
This Black Soap clearly did not leave us indifferent!The little plus ? It is certifiedCosmos Organic (Ecocert Greenlife).
So in addition to durable shoes, give your mom a real natural treasure. To do so, simply enter the code MAMAN in your shopping cart and it will be automatically added to your order.
Take advantage of our new models of espadrilles R. espadrilles in recycled cotton are finally available!A nice combo for a nice gift.
