Since 1840

With the help of experts and genealogists, we traced the epic history of the Cottan company, uncovering the secrets of this pioneering enterprise.

As early as 1840, Jean-François Arsène Cottan rethought the composition of hygiene products to eliminate all harmful substances and make every act of personal hygiene a moment of care in its own right, with the utmost respect for the biology of the skin, thanks to his surprisingly modern approach to formulation.

The New Art of Formulation

The wording in question

Concerns raised by the eco-toxicity of beauty products for women and their environment require us to rethink our approach to formulation.

The art of synthesis

Drawing on natural formulations from the 19th century, COTTAN rewrites them in light of modern dermo-cosmetic science to create a unique skincare experience.

Science and the senses

The effectiveness of all our formulations is tested according to the highest standards, without ever neglecting fragrance and sensory appeal, in order to combine pleasure with visible results every day.

"Applied to a cotton pad in the morning to wake up the skin, and in the evening as the final step in your makeup removal routine, vinegar restores radiance to the face with ease."

— Le Monde

"Elegant gifts that will hit the mark."

— VANITY FAIR

"His innovative concept, ahead of its time in promoting clean beauty, was a resounding success. However, Cottan fell into obscurity during the interwar period. Until he came back to life in 2021. It's a crazy story, but a beautiful one!"

— Beauty Toaster

"It is this art of formulation, which we would today describe as "clean," that the young entrepreneur is now showcasing in his first Arsène collection, which revisits the best-sellers of the 19th century for sensitive skin."
