Thépenier Pharma & Cosmetics, a specialist in producing hygiene and personal care products in mid-sized batches, continues to leverage its expertise in pharmaceutical standards to develop innovative and high-quality formulations. According to CEO Bertrand Lasserre, the company’s commitment to “safety and efficacy” fuels its innovation pipeline, meeting the growing consumer demand for effective and safe products.
In a competitive cosmetic industry, Thépenier Pharma & Cosmetics stands out for its deep knowledge of pharmaceutical regulations. “We are among the few European manufacturers that produce cosmetic products in a pharmaceutical environment,” says Lasserre. The company’s factory is FDA OTC and GMP Pharma certified, ensuring that all products meet rigorous safety and efficacy standards.
Commitment to Natural Ingredients and Clean Beauty
Thépenier Pharma & Cosmetics is dedicated to producing safe and clean cosmetics, offering formulations with high naturalness indices. Most of its products contain over 95% natural ingredients, aligning with growing consumer interest in clean beauty.
Revolutionizing Oral Care
Renowned for its expertise in oral care both in France and internationally, Thépenier Pharma & Cosmetics is bringing fresh innovations to this sector. Lasserre highlights “skinification” as a key trend in oral care. In line with this, the company introduced a rinse-off “anti-aging gum mask” at the Cosmoprof Worldwide trade fair in Bologna, Italy, in March. The product generated significant interest and was shortlisted by Beautystreams for the Cosmopack Awards 2024.
Two years prior, the company made waves with a silica-free toothpaste, eliminating abrasive particles to preserve natural ingredients—98.9% of which are of natural origin—while maintaining the product’s effectiveness.
Innovative Biomimetic Formulas in Body Care
In the body care and dermo-cosmetics sectors, Thépenier Pharma & Cosmetics has developed the Core Active Beauty range, which includes patented biomimetic formulas designed for stability and sophistication. These formulas, which mimic the skin’s natural structure, offer tailored benefits—Hydra, Calm, Youth, Pure, and soon Glow—that can be enhanced with additional active ingredients without compromising the core formula’s efficacy.
Hair and Sun Care Innovations
Responding to evolving consumer preferences, Thépenier Pharma & Cosmetics is advancing hybrid products in the hair care category, focusing on high naturalness formulations for hair and scalp treatment. The company is also expanding into the sun care market, where it is developing innovative solutions combining safety with natural ingredients. These offerings are expected to launch in 2025.
Expansion and New Industrial Capabilities
To keep up with increasing client demand and reduce time-to-market, Thépenier Pharma & Cosmetics has opened a new 500 m² manufacturing workshop for liquid products, capable of producing 4.5 million liters annually. This facility, equipped with advanced mixing and storage technology, is designed to handle both standard and more complex products, including sun oils.
Looking ahead, the company plans to install an ultra-fast filling line by the end of 2026, which will reach 150 strokes per minute, further enhancing production efficiency.
Sustainability Efforts
Thépenier Pharma & Cosmetics is also committed to sustainability, holding ISO 14001 and Silver EcoVadis certifications. The company has set a target of reducing its carbon footprint by 30% by 2030 and is actively working to localize its component purchases in France to improve its environmental impact. Additionally, Thépenier Pharma & Cosmetics is aiming for a 100% green electricity supply by 2028 and is taking strong steps to reduce water consumption and waste.
Through its focus on safety, innovation, and sustainability, Thépenier Pharma & Cosmetics continues to shape the future of personal care.
