Centifolia

Centifolia revisits the botany, a true source of inspiration for cosmetics.

The Centifolia brand was created in 1983 from a passion for plants and the benefits of their powerful properties. The publication of a botanical thesis had led to the discovery of the vitality of the extreme plants that live, flourish and grow in difficult conditions.

These studies have discovered the secrets of how theses plants adapt to survive : the secretion of active ingredients allowing them to survive in often harsh environment.

Centifolia had the revolutionary idea of extracting these extraordinary active ingredients and applying them directly to the needs of the skin. The Cosméto-Botanique Research Centre of Centifolia was hence set up.

Made in France, the products are designed in the heart of the Centifolia ecological estate on more than 15,000 m², found in an ecological area of 92 hectares. Located in a green setting, the Centifolia research centre and the production unit are among the greenest in the world !

Classified LPO (Ligue Pour La Protection des Oiseaux / League for the Protection of Birds) refuge, the site hosts a unique biodiversity that was the subject of an inventory in 2014.

The site is autonomous in electricity for up to 25% of its needs thanks to a powerful energy mix: two solar power plants as well as a wind turbine.

The energies used are of 75% renewable (including heating by 2 biomass boilers). Part of the biomass is also grown on the estate (Miscanthus, Acacia, Ash).
