Sensory formulations without superfluous ingredients
Texture, smell, ease of application: taking care of yourself should be a pleasure, and the sensoriality of cosmetic products is a priority at Grangettes Switzerland. Without the addition of controversial ingredients.
For example, our creams are Without colouring and therefore white, transparent or colored by an active ingredient.
Only the natural colors from active ingredients can give our products a nice color, as for the vitamine B12 (famous for its healing action, and for the prevention of skin aging), contained in the soothing face cream, which colors it with a pretty pink hue.

Ingredients excluded from our formulations
Many ingredients from conventional cosmetics are the subject of scientific controversies, and we have chosen to ban them from all of our formulas. We strictly exclude any component that is irritating, allergenic or dangerous to health.
Phenoxyethanols
The phenoxyethanol is very often used in the cosmetic industry sector as a stabilizer and preservative, despite the fact that scientific documentation unequivocally demonstrates its toxicity.
We decided to replace it with preservatives accepted in organic and obtaining the top ratings across all analytics platforms and in the scientific literature: the caprylyl glycol, ethylhexylglycerin and sorbic acid. The phenoxyethanol is prohibited by the majority of organic cosmetics labels, being toxic endocrine disruptor, very poorly biodegradable, irritant and allergenic to the skin.
Parabens
even though parabens are authorized, we have also decided to ban them from our formulations. Some scientific studies have highlighted the fact that they are lodged in the tissues of the body, which could have a link with certain diseases, such as for example cancer be you. On the other hand, the parabens are endocrine disruptors and could have an impact on the precocious puberty, infertility, or even childhood obesity.
Silicones
THE silicones do not heal: they mask and prevent the absorption of beneficial ingredients, forming a obstructing barrier. Widely used in conventional cosmetics, they provide the skin with velvety appearance, and a shiny and soft texture to the hair. Why should they be banned? We are convinced that treatment must have a long-term effect, by treating a problem rather than masking it. However, silicones act as waterproof film which only acts temporarily. Their occlusive effect on the skin prevents the evacuation of toxins And moisture absorption. In addition, silicones are water resistant which makes them difficult to evacuate in the long term: the skin and hair become dependent, even if they do not bring them anything beneficial.
Because of the comedogenic effect of silicone, the skin becomes clogged and imperfections multiply in the long term.
Our decisive argument? THE silicones are not not biodegradable And pollute the waters. Furthermore, they are bio accumulatifs, that is to say that they are absorbed by several living beings (plants, organisms) in an accumulative manner. In other words, silicones in cosmetics are highly polluting.
Petroleum derivatives
Paraffin, petroleum jelly, mineral oil, etc. THE petroleum derivatives are often present in cosmetic products and take different forms. They help reduce water evaporation from the skin, which keeps the epidermis hydrated. By forming a protective film, they are also known to make the skin more resistant to external aggressions.
However, petroleum derivatives do not provide real care to the skin (vitamins, hydration, antioxidants…) and therefore have limited long-term cosmetic benefit. On the other hand, their comedogenic effect promotes the appearance of imperfections. Finally, they are not not biodegradable and have a negative impact on the environment.
Animal products
For reasons ethical, Grangettes products are labeled PETA Vegan & Cruelty Free. They do not integrate no ingredients of animal origin.
Ingredients from non-sustainable certified palm
Palm oil is extracted from the pulp of oil palm fruits. Global consumption of palm oil is very high, which has led to intensive production methods that do not respect the environment. the environment a you alive. To do this, we are committed to using sustainable and labeled palm oils, or to using alternative ingredients.
