What does the statement “ingredients 100% of natural origin” mean?
In our products, all the ingredients used are of natural origin. We have chosen not to use any synthetic ingredients derived from petrochemicals.

Yes ! All Pioupiou products are vegan and contain no animal ingredients.
Are Pioupiou products tested on animals?
No ! We are committed to respecting the animal cause, which is why all our products are 100% vegan and not tested on animals, approved by the PETA association as part of its "Global beauty without bunnies" program. Also, note that if you buy cosmetics in Europe, animal testing has been prohibited by law since 2003.
Why are natural cosmetics more expensive than conventional skincare products?
Natural components are more expensive than petroleum products, and even more so if these raw materials come from organic farming. Indeed, they are often produced in small more local companies, which ensure a respectful and sustainable treatment of the environment, which have been controlled and certified.
What should you pay attention to in baby care products?
In addition to specific elements such as fragrance or ease of application, the use of quality raw materials, as much as possible from organic farming, is essential. A baby's skin is very thin and sensitive to all substances it comes into contact with, unfortunately also to harmful substances. It therefore goes without saying that the emphasis must be placed on impeccable quality.
My baby has very sensitive skin. Are Pioupiou products suitable?
All our products are made from 100% natural ingredients, they have been developed for the most sensitive and reactive skin, are dermatologically tested hypoallergenic. But to be reassured, we recommend that you test the product on a small area of baby's skin 24 hours before full use.
Can Pioupiou products be used on children's problem skin (eg eczema)?
Yes ! Our gentle formulas have been developed for delicate, sensitive and reactive skin. The natural composition of our products can help regulate baby's skin problems with a healthier routine, it is in any case advisable before using too many stronger chemicals. Nevertheless, we cannot replace the advice of a professional, do not hesitate to seek the advice of your pediatrician for serious cases of skin problems. We also advise you to test first on small clean healthy areas to see the reaction of the skin.
Do Pioupiou products contain allergens?
No, none of the 26 allergens recognized as such in the European Cosmetics Regulation are present in our formulas. An allergen is commonly defined as “any substance, often a protein, that induces an allergy”. A list of 26 substances likely to cause allergic reactions has been drawn up and these substances must appear on the product label when they are present at certain thresholds in the final formula. Generally, the allergens with the highest allergenic potential are contained in fragrances. Our perfumes have been chosen with the greatest care to avoid the presence of these substances, in addition we have chosen a subtle blend of 100% natural ingredients. You can use them from birth, and for the whole family.
