PATYKA, A Mission-driven Company

A MISSION-DRIVEN COMPANY Ever more committed

2002

Creation of the French cosmetics Maison PATYKA and ECOCERT certification of all its products.

PATYKA, from the Greek ‘APOTEKE’ meaning ‘Pharmacy’, becomes one of the world's first organic cosmetics brands. As a pioneer, it offers a unique vision of beauty where effectiveness, sensoriality and ethics go hand in hand.

Uncompromising cosmetics that care for the health and beauty of the skin thanks to high-performance formulas that are highly concentrated in botanical and biotechnological active ingredients, and respectful of the environment and biodiversity.

2020

PATYKA officially becomes a « Mission-driven Company »

It's a new legal status, set out by the PACTE law of May 2019, that allows companies that wish to do so to officially set themselves societal and environmental objectives in addition to their economic objectives.

In November 2020, after 18 years of commitment, PATYKA became the 3rd cosmetics company to adopt this status. It is thus confirming its original ambition: to be a company that respects women, men and the planet, and to have a positive impact on the world around it.

Mission-driven Company

What does this mean for PATYKA ?

Mélia Roger, CSR Director at PATYKA, explains in concrete terms what this new status means for our company.

Our purpose

Because it is essential to « act sustainably in order to take care of women and men and preserve the environment and biodiversity », PATYKA is committed to taking care of the beauty and health of living organisms and ecosystems. This is part of our DNA and is now part of our statutes since PATYKA became a Mission-Driven Company.

Our mission statement

Our commitments

As part of this mission, Patyka is committed to:

Caring for women and men

through creating products that are healthy, made in France, certified organic and vegan, and with a high level of traceability.

Caring for the planet

and preserving its resources in favour of biodiversity and ecological transition, for the well-being of future generations.

Building an inspiring shared project

by caring for the well-being, balance and quality of life at work for all our employees, and to be part of a social and solidarity-based approach.

Promoting a pioneering spirit

be a responsible player and innovate to build a sustainable world.

Our Charter of Formulation of Excellence

Since 2002, all Patyka skincare products have been certified by Ecocert under the COSMOS label, but we have defined our own formulation charter which goes beyond the requirements of the COSMOS label.

99.5% of ingredients are of natural origin on average

More than 40% of ingredients come from Organic Farming (GMO-free, pesticide-free), excluding cleansing products that are rinsed.

0 suspect or controversial chemical ingredients. 0 plant species that are under threat of extinction.

Natural fragrances and preservatives.

High concentration of botanical and biotechnological active ingredients for optimum effectiveness. Example: replacing water with floral waters in anti-ageing skincare products.

Vegan formulas, with the exception of the Hydra-Soothing Moisturizer, the Intensive Hydra-Soothing Moisturizer and the Instant Wrinkle Filler, which contain beeswax.

Use of upcycled* ingredients whenever possible. This is the case for the Plum oil used in Bouche à Bouche and Main dans la Main skincare products.

*Use and transformation of plant/fruit residues (e.g. stones). Nothing is lost, everything is transformed!

Made in France

Born in Paris, PATYKA offers skincare products that are 100% Made in France.

We work with hand-picked farmers to harvest botanical active ingredients of exceptional quality, and with the crème de la crème of French craftsmen and manufacturers to develop the most desirable fragrances and the most innovative packaging.

To even further support the French economy, more than 50% of our plant-based ingredients will be sourced in France by 2025.

Eco-design

- Recyclable: all our bottles, tubes, jars and boxes are made from recyclable materials. Help us by recycling your packaging after use.

- Recycled: we include recycled material (glass or plastic) in our bottles, tubes and jars in order to limit the production of new virgin material.

Committed Partnership

PATYKA plants 1 tree every 2 hours. That means that more than 20,000 trees will be planted in France between now and 2025 as part of our reforestation programme.

Because forests are the green lungs of the planet, absorbing CO2 and converting it into oxygen, it's vital that we protect them in order to curb global warming.

Thanks to our partnership with Reforest'Action, PATYKA is helping to reforest France by planting a variety of species adapted to each local ecosystem and by encouraging natural regeneration.

Environmental transition

From now until 2030, we'll be aiming even higher:

Become carbon neutral by reducing and offsetting all our CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions.

We'll be carrying out a carbon assessment in 2021, and then again every 5 years, to assess our progress on a regular basis.
