Frequently asked questions

All the brand's skincare products are certified organic.

PATYKA is one of the first brands to be certified organic by ECOCERT, an independent certification and inspection body approved by the French Ministry of Industry and recognised worldwide.

For more information, please visit https://patyka.com/pages/la-maison-patyka.

All our skincare products are 100% vegan, with the exception of Hydra-Soothing Moisturizer, Intensive Hydra-Soothing Moisturizer and Instant Wrinkle Filler, which contains cruelty-free beeswax.

All PATYKA products are Cruelty free. None of them, nor any of their ingredients, have been tested on animals. This commitment is particularly important to us, and has been since the creation of the brand.

All PATYKA products are Cruelty free. None of them, nor any of their ingredients, have been tested on animals. This commitment is particularly important to us, and has been since the creation of the brand.

However, the DGCCRF (Directorate General for Competition Policy, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control) reminds us that animal testing on cosmetic products is prohibited by European regulations, so the claim ‘not tested on animals’ is deemed inappropriate and must not appear on products. For more information, visit https://www.economie.gouv.fr/dgccrf/cosmetiques-ne-vous-fiez-pas-a-lallegation-non-teste-sur-animaux.

As part of this legislation, the Leaping Bunny logo is being removed from our packaging and products.

All PATYKA skincare products are made in France.

All Patyka skincare products can be recycled. The packaging comes from eco-managed forests and the inks are vegetable-based.

Cardboard boxes: you can recycle them with cardboard and plastic.

Glass bottles: you can unscrew the pump from the product and recycle the glass.

Plastic packaging: we prefer to use recyclable PET plastic, authorised by the Ecocert organic label, which you can recycle along with cardboard and plastic.

All PATYKA products are on sale on this site, as well as at numerous points of sale. To find your nearest stockist, visit https://patyka.com/apps/store-locator.

All our skincare products have an overall shelf life of 3 years from the date of manufacture. Our batch numbers, located on the underside of the packaging or product, are made up of a letter and 5 digits: the last 2 digits indicate the year of manufacture, and the first 3 the day number.

For most of our products, once opened they can be used within one year.

Huile Absolue and Regenerating Night Serum have a shelf life of 6 months, and our suncare products (Face Sunscreen and Body Sun Milk) have a shelf life of 9 months.

The notion of comedogenicity is actually a very personal one.
We take the utmost care when formulating our products to ensure that they are suitable for as many people as possible, but individual reactions are unfortunately unpredictable, even for "non-comedogenic" skincare products.

Moreover, comedogenicity tests are carried out on pure active ingredients, rather than on a complete formula, in which a so-called "comedogenic" ingredient may see its effect counterbalanced by other ingredients.

We can therefore only recommend that you try out the product with samples, which you can request at the point of sale, to see how your skin reacts.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women can use all our products with the exception of the Huile Absolue, Regenerating Night Serum, Anti-Blemish Toner, Anti-Blemish Serum and Brightening Renewal Night Peel.

We have also developed the Anti-Stretch Mark Body Oil, which can be used from the 1st month of pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Despite all the care we take when formulating our products, allergic reactions are still possible.

If this happens to you, please contact our Customer Service department by e-mail to e-boutique@patyka.com or by phone on +33 8 01 90 25 50, indicating the name of the product and the batch number, which you can find on the underside of the packaging or product.
