In this Meet the Maker we talk to Les Huilettes Co-Founders Pascale and Claire. 

Les Huilettes is the story of two long-time friends, a pharmacist – Pascale, and the other an entrepreneur- Claire, both huge skincare and cosmetics fans. The pair were convinced that it was possible to develop natural beauty products that were both highly effective as well as respectful of the environment.

In 2017, Claire and Pascale launched the brand with just three skin boosters based on unique, 100% active organic formulas. These formulas were built on high-end ingredients hand-selected by Pascale for their efficacy and sensoriality. Behind the brand, there’s a strong commitment “to put back the truth, the commitment and the senses at the heart of beauty”. Fast forward to 2021 and the award winning range now spans skin, hand and body care with a 12 strong product range.

TNC: The Mon Huilette range really does address a huge gap in the market for those of us with looking for an all-natural product that is not only results driven but suitable for sensitive skin types. Can you tell us a little more about the mon huilette Cream and Extra-Gentle soap?

LH: Exactly right, Vanessa – sensitive skin needs delicate care that will nourish and protect. Our sensitive range has been conceived to respect the most fragile and sensitive skins. Having been formulated without essential oils, our sensitive line is especially suitable for any delicate moment in life including hypersensitivity, pregnancy, breastfeeding and allergies.

mon huilette Cream is a universal moisturising emulsion that contains natural hyaluronic acid and retinol! For very smooth skin, you’ll only need a hazelnut sized amount to moisturise your face and neck. For a boost of extra nutrition, you can mix and match it with mon huilette sensitive serum.

As a 100% natural soap, you can confidently use les huilettes extra-mild soap on both face and body. It’s an ultra-rich formula that preserves the skin’s protective hydro-lipid film. Composed of 8.5% glycerine of natural origin, the soap has incredible moisturising properties and won’t leave your skin feeling at all dry. It’s the perfect soap for the whole family.  You can even use it as a shampoo 🙂

TNC: I’m in love with the mon huilette gentle Cleanser! It truly is a genius makeup remover without leaving a heavy residue, it’s so light for an oil cleanser. What makes this cleanser so unique?

LH: Us too! mon huilette Cleanse is ideal for removing make-up and as gentle cleanser for face and eyes. It’s truly a unique approach to cleansing that is surfactant-free and won’t be aggressive on your skin. We recommend using it with the double-sided cotton cleansing pad for a truly delicate cleansing ritual.

The lightweight and nourishing combination of coconut, jojoba, olive, argan and sunflower oil gently lifts away impurities and makeup while leaving a protective film on the skin. For younger skin, it can even be used as a cleanser and a serum at the same time. If you’re a double-cleansing fan, you can use the Cleansing oil as your first step, followed by the Sensitive soap. For me, the fragrance is what transports the cleansing process into a truly sensory ritual. It’s zesty and uplifting, yet deeply calming, thanks to Pascale’s subtle blend of green mandarin and petitgrain with roman chamomile and true lavender.

TNC: We are proud to be ranging the NEW Purifying Liquid Soap for  Hands and Body. Can you share what inspired you to develop and formulate this product? What was the end goal?

With the coronavirus epidemic, washing hands has become a civic duty as the most effective measure to stop the spread of the coronavirus. We thought we should do our duty in style – with an elegantly fragrant, naturally effective formula housed in an understated bottle design that looks perfectly in place in any bathroom or kitchen!

100% natural, organic, vegan, and made in France from natural saponification, this Purifying Liquid Soap is great for hands in need of deep-cleaning and nutrition. Why? Ravintsara and Cinnamon leaf essential oils have fantastic antibacterial and antiviral properties. Plum kernel powder has a gentle exfoliating action. And finally, because of its incredibly fresh, woody and soothing accord of Green Mandarin and Cedar. It’s a very special product that we hope will put the pleasure back into hand-washing – while holding strong our commitment to producing thoughtful, honest and earth-friendly products.

TNC: You have a sustainable ethos that holistically encompasses the “3 R’s” of responsible consumption- Reduce, Reuse and Recycle-  with a mission to produce cosmetics that respect the skin and the planet. Could you expand on this for us?

LH: With Les Huilettes, you have the assurance of cosmetics that respect your skin and the planet. We are committed in a sustainable way for more reasoned, considered consumption, by acting upstream of the design of all our products to limit our ecological impact.

We try to do as much as we can:

  • eco-responsible, recyclable and reusable packaging: glass bottle, recycled plastic,
  • reduction of over-packaging: no instructions, no unnecessary cardboard boxes,
  • lean printing: no lamination or microplastics.
TNC: What does your morning skincare routine look like?

LH: I always start my mornings with a big glass of water to restore hydration in my body. After showering, I use mon huilette Day for a nourished and glowy skin. I enjoy taking this moment to myself, enjoying the fragrant aroma. It’s a spirit lifter!

If my skin needs more hydration, I’ll add a small amount of mon huilette Cream with mon huilette Day, mixing them in my palms before application.
To finish, I just apply mon huilette Rescue on my lips. My little secret: I also apply Rescue on my cheekbones and the tip of my nose for a natural highlighter 😉

TNC: Well, now we DO need to know what your night skincare ritual is please?

The first and most important step of my night-time routine is definitely mon huilette Cleanse, even if I’m not wearing much makeup. I use it every night to cleanse my skin from all impurities, dust and pollution.

Once a week, I add an exfoliation step into my cleansing routine – using our lovely mon huilette Scrub. Emulsified with warm water, the aromatic sugar cane-based formula is gentle and leaves my face polished and glowing. Then I apply mon huilette Night to nourish my skin.

I spend a few moments massaging mon huilette night into my skin using Face Yoga techniques. I’ve discovered the power of Face Yoga over the past few years, and it’s amazing! A natural face lift using only pressure points and techniques. This time is for myself – and only me.

TNC: What’s next for Les Huilettes?

We have many more projects ahead of us! End of this year, we’re launching a range exclusively created to take care of your hair – a fortifying solid shampoo and an incredible hair serum … Can’t wait to show you!

Join us on our INSTA LIVE on Thursday 21st July as we talk to Claire the Co-Founder of Les Huilettes and delve deeper into the beautiful world of this truly unique French skincare brand.
