Founded in 1881 in the Parisian pharmacy of Théophile LeClerc, near Place de la Madeleine, T.leclerc is today the last great independent makeup house in Paris. Its origins are pharmaceutical in the truest sense of the word: from the very beginning, the brand adopted a formulation policy of pharmaceutical rigor, excluding silicones, phthalates, and parabens in favor of natural and mineral ingredients. Each product undergoes clinical testing under dermatological supervision and, where necessary, ophthalmological testing. Since 2020, the Maison has been run by the Poux family, who have preserved its independence while expanding it to over thirty-five countries. The brand's identity remains unchanged: the precision of color, the lightness of texture, the simplicity of application.

The T.leclerc Selection

The forty-two references available on Papique encompass the entire vocation of the brand: complexions — from loose powders to compact and liquid foundations — eyes, lips, and application accessories. It is a range designed around expertise in complexion, with formulas that integrate actives such as hyaluronic acid and rice derivatives for an approach that combines makeup application with daily skin texture care. Those seeking a powder foundation with a velvety finish will find historical references; those desiring precise color for eyes or lips will find the same consistency in palettes. The powder fragrance line — a more recent universe for the Maison — completes the selection with an olfactory proposal consistent with the brand's French identity.

We invite you to browse the selection with the same calm as one explores an artisanal pharmacy: each reference has a formulation story worth discovering.
