Maison Payen 1730, centuries-old values
Ecology and naturalness
Aware that beauty also involves preserving nature, which offers the best of what it has to offer, Maison Payen is committed to a more sustainable world.
Thus, for its treatments made exclusively in France, Maison Payen uses very high quality formulations, containing 96 to 100% ingredients of natural origin, and a significantly reduced water content (waterless), or even absent in certain formulas (waterfree).
Not tested on animals, each treatment is certified free of palm oil or mineral oil, paraben, silicone, artificial coloring, nanoparticle, synthetic hydrocarbon or materials of animal origin. Maison Payen laboratories guarantee stability and optimal microbiological protection of the treatments.
Favoring sobriety, the packaging is designed to avoid over-packaging and is fully recyclable, in addition to being as biodegradable as possible.
Transmission and kindness
It is to the curiosity of the creator and blender of oils, Jean-Baptiste Court, and to the tenacity of his descendants, the Payens and then Court-Payens, that Maison Payen owes its unique identity, its strength of conviction and its demand for quality.
This family spirit and this ambition for excellence have grown from generation to generation until they have become one of the essential values of Maison Payen, that of the benevolent transmission of know-how, a taste for innovation and passion.
Taste of the unexpected
True to the origins of the House, Maison Payen today perpetuates its taste for travel and the rarest ingredients in order to nourish its creativity and know-how.
Drawing on the best ingredients and the most ancient rituals from cultures around the world, Maison Payen imagines new uses inspired by numerous traditions for precious and delicate skin care that takes the senses on a journey.
Audacity & innovation
Audacity is at the heart of Maison Payen’s identity, and choices as bold as they are visionary mark its history.
Such as the preference given to olive over palm, the creation of a bust in white soap in the image of the Count of Artois, future King Charles X during his visit to the Savonnerie, or the rebirth of the brand in 2015, which was battered in the 1970s by globalized cosmetics, or its decision to study and extract rare molecules from unsaponifiable oils: a daily challenge that continues.
This character is also rooted in its Mediterranean roots, assuming with panache its Marseille identity, lively, proud and bubbling.
