Yves Rocher was founded in 1959 by Yves Rocher in La Gacilly, France. It produces botanical beauty products using plant ingredients researched and sourced from its botanical garden and farms. Key aspects of Yves Rocher's approach include employing botanists to research plant properties, harvesting plant ingredients from its own organic farms, developing plant-based active ingredients and formulas through research, and manufacturing products in its certified factories in France. The company aims to produce effective, natural, and ethical beauty products while protecting biodiversity through its tree planting initiatives.

It was in 1959, in his home village of
La Gacilly in the Brittany region of
France, that Mr. Yves Rocher made his
first plant-based beauty products.

BOTANIST
Yves Rocher Researchers have in-depth knowledge of the plant
world. Our botanists and biologists are constantly scouring the
5 continents to explore the plant world and discover new beauty
secrets. Moreover Yves Rocher owns in La Gacilly, since 1977,
its Botanical Garden which is completely dedicated to Research
and Conservation with more than 1,100 plants. It is an unlimited
resource for Yves Rocher Botanical Beauty Research.
harvester
55 hectares of flower and plant fields are grown in Organic
Agriculture in La Gacilly. 20 plant species are grown, which accounts
for one third of the botanical needs of the products manufactured
by Yves Rocher every year: Calendula, Arnica, Cornflower...
researcher
Yves Rocher Researchers are constantly analysing the extraordinary
ability of plants to adapt. Plants develop treasure troves of genius
to resist, fight, and survive. This is what Yves Rocher calls Plant
Intelligence. Decoding the biological functions of plants paves the
way for discovering new active ingredients for cosmetics. In the
laboratory, our phytochemists thus identify the most potent molecules
for skin beauty. They develop unique extraction technologies that
restore the quintessence of plants in the constant quest for more
efficiency for cosmetics.
manufacturer
300 million products are manufactured every year in our own
certified factories in La Gacilly. Production is carried out in three
plants in Brittany, in France. Models of management, these three
plants have received Quality, Environment and Occupational Health
and Safety certifications.

EFFICIENT NATURAL BEAUTY
Passionate about the vegetal world, our ambition at Yves Rocher
has always been to work in harmony with the environment,
as each tree and each plant does in nature.

UNIQUE EXPERTISE

5. What is botanical beauty ?
Botanical Beauty is botanical expertise, developed by Yves Rocher
since 1959, reproducing the life mechanisms of plants in the
formulation of cosmetics that are effective and respectful of nature.
AN EFFECTIVE
BEAUTY PRODUCT
Botanicals are alive. They are filled with
vital energy, the secret of their resistance
and longevity. From their amazing
ability to regenerate, our Botanical
Beauty Researchers create the most high
performance active ingredients, which work
intensely on your skin.
A SENSUOUS
BEAUTY PRODUCT
Botanicals are sensuality in the purest state.
Materials, colors, scents, they are an endless
source of inspiration, emotion and escape,
for products that always offer you
more pleasure and sensations.
AN ETHICAL
BEAUTY PRODUCT
Botanicals are our only source of beauty.
They are precious. We must protect them
by limiting our impact on the environment
and by proclaiming, in our everyday actions,
our active protection of biodiversity
for the well-being of future generations.

Yves Rocher Botanical Beauty Research has uncovered in the

power. As well as our formula’s source of lipids, this Ash
tree concentrate has the power to relaunch the natural
mechanisms involved in the nutrition of the skin. The skin then
produces its own lipids intensely and continuously.
TO CLARIFY AND MOISTURIZE SKIN

Combined with Maple sap, that stimulates skin’s hydration,
2 plant extracts coming from Licorice roots and Aphloia
