A Beauty Vanity or French Pharmacy?
In France, only healthy skincare and beauty products with clean and non-toxic ingredients are on the market. However, in the U.S., this is not always the case and sometimes it’s hard to know which products are vegan, cruelty-free, and contain the highest-quality ingredients. So here at SHAY, with luxury and quality in mind (not only in diamonds and gems), we selected our top skincare brands and did the filtering for you.
La Mer
La Mer is known for its Creme de la Mer moisturizer because of its powerfully healing active ingredients like nutrient-rich algae, antioxidants, and extracts from stones to transform, heal, and sooth dryness or dull skin. La Mer’s products restore skin to look and feel naturally radiant.
Caudalie
Caudalie is renowned for the grape and grapevine extracts in its skincare products, creating very sustainable and natural products. Caudalie is a French company specializing in Vinotherapie. We recommend the Beauty Elixir mist for a immediate boost of radiance and glow, with a therapeutic fresh scent.
