3 passionate generations

It all began in Brittany, on the west coast of France, in 1972. There, in the gentle bay of Saint-Malo, a young entrepreneur named Jean Gédouin looked out to the sea. For nearly 50 years, PHYTOMER has been transforming the sea into skin care to effectively reveal women and men’s beauty: a natural, authentic, vibrant beauty.

Marine Ingredients

We are passionate about the sea. We see it every day, and we believe in the sea’s exceptional benefits for the skin. The marine ingredients we cultivate to help reveal your natural beauty are all cultivated and harvested with a genuine respect for the sea.

80% of our active ingredients come from Brittany, a region on the western coast of France. The active ingredients are developed in close collaboration with a network of local partners that include growers, start-ups, and researchers who help us to ensure sustainable and responsible harvest practices. 

We favor green manufacturing

At PHYTOMER, we promote eco-friendly cosmetics that use locally-sourced ingredients from Brittany with respect for both the sea and the marine farmers who supply us. In our research department, we develop production methods with low environmental impact at every step. In 2019, PHYTOMER was awarded the RSE Ecovadis Gold certification for our pioneering work in sustainable marine algae and seaside plant cultivation. The label attests to our excellence in environmental practices.
