The story of Saly Cosmétiques
Discover the story of our two ranges, Saly Savons and Valambrun Cosmétiques, born from a passion for natural skincare that respects both people and the environment.
The founder, Séverine Thomassin
"As a mother of two, at a time when ecology and sustainable development were becoming central concerns, I was not satisfied with what I found on the market. So I started looking for solutions.
After discovering cold process soapmaking, I began creating soaps for my family and friends always with respect for the environment.
Encouraged by the success my soaps received among those around me, I decided to create and develop my own soapmaking workshop, in order to reach a growing audience and fully dedicate myself to my new profession..." Saly.
The story of Saly Cosmétiques, told by its founder…
December 1, 2018
Launch of the Saly Savons Range
After completing certified training in green chemistry and acquiring the necessary equipment to produce cold-process soaps, I transformed the basement of my home into a laboratory compliant with cosmetic standards.
My formulas, inspired by my travels and readings on the benefits of raw materials, were then validated by a toxicologist.
I worked on the brand identity and created my website, before starting production in October so that I could offer my soaps by December 1, 2018, after their 6 to 8 week curing process.""
Spring 2019
Partnership with ESAT
"A partnership with ESAT (Etablissement et Service d’Aide par le Travail des Hermones) was an obvious choice for me, as it resonated with my past career as a nurse and my values of inclusion.""
Autumn 2019
Opening of the Shop !
"After several months of searching for a space to both produce and sell my products, I finally found a location in Thonon-les-Bains."
Between March and the end of August, renovation work was carried out to transform part of the premises into a laboratory and the other part into a boutique where my products could be sold.
Early 2021
The Laboratory : Private Label & Custom Formulation
"With the creation of my new laboratory, I am now able to leverage my expertise to produce in larger quantities.
This allows me to expand my offer and provide, on request, the creation and formulation of soaps, shampoos, and cosmetics (balms, deodorants, creams, oils…) for professionals."
November 2021
Launch of the Valambrun Cosmétiques Range
"Since washing is a daily ritual, it was essential for me to offer our bodies gentle and nourishing products.
With passion and determination, I worked on formulating a new range of natural cosmetics products designed to complement your skincare routines and enhance your skin.
The goal was to find the right synergies of ingredients, create the perfect texture, and capture the ideal fragrance…
The objective was simple: to offer you unique treatments that combine naturalness and effectiveness."
Two Ranges, Shared Values
Developing a hygiene range that cares for the skin every day through a gentle washing ritual was the challenge that Saly Savons set out to meet. It was a success: we offer your body cold-process soaps, made with natural ingredients carefully selected for their multiple benefits, in order to provide the best possible care while respecting the environment.
Two years later, we created Valambrun Cosmétiques, a line of committed and exceptional skincare.
Valambrun Cosmétiques continues the mission of Saly Savons offering your skin a return to essentials and a true promise of naturalness.
