About
Aix-en-Provence, France · 2020
Solenne started in 2020 in a rented lab space outside Aix-en-Provence, where a small team of three formulators set out to answer one question: how few ingredients can a cream actually need? The first product, a cold-pressed rosehip oil, used 1 ingredient. It is still the brand's best-selling SKU.
Short INCI, no fillers
Every formula is reviewed ingredient by ingredient; anything that does not change texture, absorption, or shelf stability is removed before launch.
Vegan and cruelty-free by default
100% of the Solenne range is formulated without animal-derived ingredients and certified cruelty-free by Cruelty Free International (Leaping Bunny).
Made within 40 km of Aix-en-Provence
Formulation and filling both happen in the same regional supply chain, which shortens the path from raw plant oil to finished bottle.
