THE CLEAN CABINET

NO QUESTIONABLE ADDITIVES

At the core of this new endeavour was to reject any ingredients which, while authorised, have questions hanging over them s. A complex exercise with many restraints especially when you consider their quest to create a clean beauty brand, the majority of which are often quite deliberately fragrance-free, that also delivers a sensory at-home spa experience without compromising.

INFUSED COSMETICS

Already experts in the sensory benefits of plants, the rewards to the skin quickly became second nature. For example, their Soft Lotion with jasmine extracts harnessing both the aromatherapeutic benefits of calming the atmosphere while also moisturising for a fully rounded self-care night-in. This was achieved by experimentation with the results of a gentle plant-extraction, from the fields of Diptyque's own perfumery. This method is inspired by an ancient extraction technique used in perfumeries for generations to capture the fragrance of fragile flowers such as jasmine or rose by using vegetable oil to concentrate the scent. Fast-forward to modern-day and this technique is now intensified by energy activation technology supplied by a combination of microwaves and ultrasound. Best of all no chemical ingredients are needed, with 100% natural active ingredient extracted through a combination of science and tradition.

A CLEARER FUTURE

As of May this year Diptyque have published their formulation character on their website for greater transparency in their process and have introduced many refillable glass bottles and votives to their ranges. A practice they intend to continue to work on to improve all their products recyclability.
