Patyka, What It Means To Feel Beautiful

By Paige Donner

Patyka is a Parisienne beauty care brand that is not just delicious for what is between the covers, but also has put much care into its packaging as well. Unwrapping the Absolis Patyka Neroli Brightening body lotion is like unwrapping origami.
Not only do you find the treasure of the smooth-smelling EcoCert, CosmeBio, Leaping Bunny certified lotion inside the package, you are also welcomed with a message announcing that you have just unwrapped a "tree-free" box that is made from sugar cane residue, flax and hemp. Their philosophy?
Because nothing is lost and everything is transformed. - Patyka


But back to the EcoBeauty products themselves that Patyka calls "beauté remarquable" a phrase they've trademarked.

It translates to "Remarkable Beauty" and is encapsulated by not just an ingredients list but also a philosophy that emphasizes every bit a woman's feelings of inner beauty. The Patyka manifesto:
My beauty is a work of art...My well being stems from an approach that rids me of any complexes and respects me and my environment...Modern, responsible, active and demanding - my beauty bears testimony to the fact that an effective and intelligent cosmetic solution exists...
Each product, as well as their line of perfumes, is carefully crafted and blended with an apothecarist's wisdom.  Case in point: Neroli body lotion is a blend of Neroli and Sesame: Neroli soothes, tones and restores elasticity and is tolerated by most skin types. Sesame is rich in Omega 3 and 6. Sesame oil is easily absorbed by the skin and takes with it all of the active properties of the substances it is blended with. It also restructures the skin tissue.
