The case of these French lipsticks is made with an amazing ingredient

How to choose a more ecological lipstick? While the cosmetics industry produces more than 120 billion packages per year* and only 9% of plastic waste is recycled**, a French organic make-up brand is innovating by designing a case with an unusual ingredient. LE ROUGE FRANCAIS, founded at the end of 2018 by Elodie, a biotechnology engineer concerned about being able to apply a healthy lipstick during pregnancy, is launching the first transparent bio-sourced case, designed with... castor oil!

This vegetable oil used since Antiquity is well known to natural beauty enthusiasts for its ability to regenerate eyelashes and hair. What is less known is that its richness in ricinoleic acid allows it to be transformed into a flexible, recyclable and durable polymer. After a year of research, LE ROUGE FRANCAIS has managed to use this new kind of biomaterial to design its lipstick cases. At the same time light, resistant and transparent, it protects the grape from shocks and immediately visualizes its color.

A property far from being incidental for this make-up brand whose credo is: a multitude of colors (15 are available) but only one case. Once the latter has been purchased, all you have to do is interchange the eco-refills at your leisure, to take the color of your choice with you everywhere without consuming more packaging than necessary. Designed with fully recyclable components and a minimum of parts, they too are shaped in a spirit of naturalness.

A desire that can be found even in the formulation of the lipsticks. Made in Normandy according to BFP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards, Clean Beauty labeled and certified Cruelty-Free and Vegan (by PETA) and Cosmos Organic (by Cosmebio and ECOCERT)***, it gives pride of place to plant-based ingredients . The base of the organic lipsticks (composed of shea butter, apricot, sunflower and castor oils, and rice, candelilla and carnauba waxes) is pigmented with tinctorial plants with biological properties. Indigo, Lotus Seed, Dyer's Madder and Hibiscus are just some of the tinting pigments used in the formulations. With these nude, pink, red and brown lipsticks, organic make-up enthusiasts and pregnant women looking for beauty products compatible with their pregnancy are in for a treat!
