Founded in Paris in 1890, Académie Scientifique de Beauté is an independent French cosmetics house, family-run, that has passed down its philosophy from generation to generation with production entirely made in France. Established with the ambition to apply scientific rigor to skincare, the house has written some pioneering chapters in European cosmetology: in 1928, it opened the first cosmetics school in Paris, and in 1936, it patented the inclusion of collagen in a cosmetic formula worldwide, an unprecedented technical achievement for its time. Today, the research and development laboratory works with naturally sourced ingredients — since 2020, at least 95% for every new formula — seeking a balance between efficacy, sensory experience, and environmental respect, with a declared commitment to fully offsetting CO₂ emissions related to production.

The Académie Selection from Papique

The nine Académie products in our catalog represent a journey through the house's flagship lines: facial treatments formulated to meet the needs of different skin types, from dehydrated skin to more mature skin, with active ingredient concentrations designed for expert use. The brand stands out for the consistency between the scientific tradition that underpins it and the sensory quality of the textures — an aspect on which Académie does not compromise. To navigate the selection, it is helpful to start from your skin type and the type of treatment sought: hydration, evenness, or anti-aging care.
