Garu Paris collection, actives and formulas

Our way of formulating

We do not line up forty plants on the label to impress. Each formula relies on three to six active ingredients, dosed to act, within a base that respects the skin barrier.

Our selection criteria

Each active ingredient must meet three criteria: documented efficacy, good tolerance, and traceable origin. Our dosages follow clinical studies, not trends.

Vitamin C

A benchmark antioxidant, it evens out the complexion, reduces the appearance of dark spots, and revives radiance. We use it in a stabilized form that does not oxidize.

Radiance serums, anti-dark spot treatments

Hyaluronic Acid

It retains up to 1,000 times its weight in water and provides long-lasting hydration without a greasy effect.

Moisturizing creams, serums

Niacinamide

It regulates excess sebum, visibly refines skin texture, and strengthens the skin barrier.

Skincare for combination to oily skin

Ceramides

Lipids naturally present in the skin, they restore the skin barrier and soothe feelings of tightness.

Creams for dry and sensitive skin

Squalane

A plant-derived emollient similar to skin lipids. It absorbs quickly, does not clog pores, and leaves a velvety finish.

Nourishing oils and creams

Shea butter

Rich in fatty acids and vitamin A, it intensely nourishes very dry and reactive skin.

Balms, rich creams

Aloe vera

It soothes and hydrates upon application. Ideal for sensitive skin and after sun exposure.

Cleansing gels, soothing care

Argan oil

Rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids, it nourishes, helps prevent visible signs of aging, and is suitable for both face and body.

Body oils, night care
