Our mission
What we do
Perhaps you're wondering what all these people do?
Since 2010, we've been working to create solid cosmetics and sustainable accessories for the bathroom and the rest of the home!
We have strong values and convictions, and we always aim high, determined not to compromise. This doesn't just apply to our products – it applies to our everyday lives too!
We talk about our products being "eco-affordable". As Laëtitia says: "I wanted this to be one of our watchwords at Lamazuna. We want to offer innovative products that won't harm your health or the environment, and also enable you to save money!"
Our constraints
To ensure that we always remain true to our values, there are certain criteria that our products have to meet. They must all be:
- Zero waste
- Vegan
- Made as locally as possible (we are gradually moving towards 100% made in France, but unfortunately this is not always possible).
Would you like to know more? We tell you all about the process behind the creation of a Lamazuna product! Come this way!
We now have a wide range of solid cosmetics, with shampoos, deodorants, toothpastes, cocoa butter, etc. We also have sustainable and durable accessories, including our famous Oriculi and the washable cleansing wipes. Every year, our range grows, but we're always careful not to create new needs. And sometimes we'll question certain choices, to make sure we're still true to our commitments.
This explains why we no longer sell the konjac sponge – a natural sponge that comes from Asia. Instead, we'd like you to enjoy using our solid facial cleansers, which are made in France!
Our ingredients
The choice of our ingredients is paramount when considering a product at Lamazuna. our eco-design approach, the ingredients are an important criterion. It's all about the balance between:
- The virtues of the ingredients. This is the number 1 criterion, because we make cosmetics after all, so the ingredients have to bring something to the product.
- Organic ingredients
- Natural ingredients
- And a source as close as possible to us.
Unfortunately it is very difficult to meet all these criteria!
We have to make concessions, which is why not all of our ingredients are necessarily French, local or 100% organic.
The idea is to explain our choices to you and take you behind the scenes of the design of our products. The “life my life” of the Lamazulab in a way!
The Lamazunians of the innovation pole play tightrope walkers to find the best compromise between all these criteria. Find out more > Discover our products scrutinized by the Lamazu'Lab on video!
What are our labels?
In order to reassure you about the quality of our products, we have chosen to be certified by different labels depending on the products. We explain their meaning to you, here we go!
The Slow Cosmetic mention
Since 2013, the Slow Cosmetics Mention rewards the overall efforts made by a cosmetics brand (in terms of its formulas, its marketing model and his allegations). It guarantees that the brand offers natural products (95% minimum of ingredients of natural origin), without synthetic materials and without compounds that are problematic for health or the environment (neither petrochemicals, nor plastics or silicones, nor controversial ingredients and preservatives) but also that the quality-price ratio is honest, and that the brand does not resort to marketing abuse for its advertising.

The Cosmos Organic Label
You probably recognize this label “COSMOS Organic”.
This is a label certifying the natural and organic origin of the ingredients of a product.
We chose this label for its high visibility and credibility as well as for its rigorous specifications. A product can only be certified COSMOS Organic if it respects the following points:
- 95 to 100% of the total ingredients are of natural origin
- 20% minimum of the total ingredients comes from organic farming
- 95% of the total plants* must come from organic farming
- Absence (excluding authorized preservatives) of petrochemical ingredients: parabens, phenoxyethanol, synthetic fragrances and dyes. (list of authorized ingredients with maximum dosage defined in the COSMOS standard)
- If palm oil and palm kernel oil (and their derivatives) are used in cosmetic products and their ingredients, they must be of certified organic origin or certified sustainable sources (CSPO - Certified Sustainable Palm Oil)
- Prohibition of GMOs or GMO derivatives.
