RESPECTING YOUR SKIN IS OUR PRIORITY

At Jouviance, your skin's health is our priority. We are committed to offering safe products that respect your skin's natural balance, with the highest possible concentrations of active ingredients, and demonstrate their effectiveness through clinical studies and patented technologies.

HEALTHY SKIN IS BEAUTIFUL SKIN

Healthy skin is soft, smooth, hydrated and radiant. Whereas skin whose dermo-protective function has been compromised is not only unable to do this job,
but it can also suffer from redness, irritation, acne, rashes, tightness, rosacea and dryness - painful problems that prevent you from looking and feeling your best.

Our skincare products strengthen your skin barrier, so your skin is healthier than ever, responding more effectively to the active ingredients in our products for superior results.

 

The result? Soft skin that radiates with vitality and youthfulness!

WHAT IS HEALTHY BEAUTY?

Take care of yourself by limiting negative impacts on your skin, your health or the environment with cosmetics formulated without ingredients that could be harmful to these factors.

As popularity takes hold, many brands are slowly adopting the “clean beauty” philosophy. At Jouviance, the importance of your skin's health has always been at the heart of our mission, and has been for over 20 years.

NATURALLY HEALTHY, WHY DOES JOUVIANCE HAVE A LONG LIST OF PROHIBITED INGREDIENTS?

As pioneers, we were one of the first companies to invite consumers to carefully read the ingredient lists on the back of their cosmetics-to decode them, to understand them-and, as a result, to demand only the best from their skincare products.

 

We develop effective, safe products that respect even the most sensitive skin. That's why we were one of the first cosmetics brands in Canada to adopt a strict black list guaranteeing the exclusion of ingredients known or suspected of having undesirable effects on the skin or the environment.

Healthy beauty: a pillar at Jouviance

Initially inspired by the David Suzuki Foundation's 'Dirty Dozen' - a list of twelve categories of cosmetic ingredients that are toxic, problematic or harmful to the environment - our blacklist makes Jouviance a pioneer in healthy beauty and an integral part of our DNA.

0% Jouviance's Blacklist

You will NOT find these ingredients in our products:

The most common artificial preservative in the cosmetic industry, parabens are used to inhibit bacteria and mold growth to increase a product’s shelf life. Studies have shown that parabens can disrupt normal hormone function, especially in the case of estrogen.
Used as foaming agents that emulsify greasy substances, sulfates such as sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) are detergents that are generally found in shampoo, toothpaste, body wash and facial cleanser. Sulfates may cause temporary irritation to the skin and eyes resulting in redness, dryness and itching. That’s why all of our cleansers are non-foaming.
Pthalates are typically added to personal care products as moisturizers or to promote the absorption of other ingredients into the skin. Exposure to this category of chemicals has been linked to sperm damage, obesity and insulin resistance in men (which can lead to Type 2 Diabetes), thyroid irregularities in men and women and asthma and skin allergies in children. n
An emollient substance derived from petroleum, mineral oil is used to lock moisture into skin and add shine to hair. It’s widely used in moisturizers and hair-care products because it’s cheap, but studies have shown that mineral oil may be contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which can cause skin irritation and allergies. Instead of mineral oil, we use vegetable oils such as Inca Inchi oil because it nourishes, repairs and soothes the skin while reinforcing the skin barrier.
Colorants, which are widely used in the cosmetics industry may cause allergies. This is why we prefer to exclude them from our formulations.
The term “fragrance” actually refers to any combination of thousands of chemicals that produce a scent. Many of these chemicals have not been tested for toxicity and can prompt allergies, migraines and asthma. To ensure our formulas suit even the most sensitive skin, we prefer to exclude artificial fragrances.
A mixture of plant proteins found in certain cereals such as wheat, rye and barley. Although gluten is harmful only when ingested, it can sometimes cause undesirable reactions in people with gluten intolerance.
We avoid the inclusion of all ingredients derived from animals and refrain from substances that could disturb the skin’s natural balance. All of our beauty products are vegan.
We care about animal welfare and avoid testing our products on animals. None of the ingredients we purchase have been tested on animals either.
