"The Difference," by Alexis
A classic skincare routine often starts with a base… At Madame d'Alexis, that base becomes…
aqueous hydrosols

Our skincare products are formulated without added water as a base: the aqueous base is replaced by organic floral hydrosols—Damask rose, German chamomile, and orange blossom.

What's Changing in Our Plans

The base of the formula already contributes to the skincare benefits

While water often makes up the bulk of the base, Madame d'Alexis selects organic hydrosols and combines them with active ingredients tailored to each specific treatment.

A formula designed so that each level serves a specific purpose.

Five steps, one ritual

The complete ritual that transforms the fiber

Five complementary steps to awaken the scalp, strengthen the hair fiber, and reveal softer, shinier, more vibrant hair.

Inspired by Madame d'Alexis's journals, this routine brings together five treatments that complement and amplify each other's effects. The scalp is prepared, and the hair fiber is hydrated, repaired, protected, and then regenerated overnight.

Each formula is developed without added water, using organic floral hydrosols and skin-care active ingredients, to offer a sensory and truly effective ritual.

The Notebooks from the 1910s

Who is Madame d'Alexis?

Madame d'Alexis is not a brand. It is a legacy, a tradition, a tribute: the journals of a traveler from the 1910s, reinterpreted through the lens of modern science.

An Ambassador's Wife and Her Leather Notebooks

Throughout her diplomatic postings, Madame d'Alexis traveled the world, discovering the beauty rituals unique to each culture. She immersed herself in local traditions and botanical knowledge passed down from generation to generation, and meticulously recorded her observations: skincare techniques, distilled plants, herbal infusions, oils, textures, and fragrances.

Much more than just recipes: a vision of care

His notebooks reveal an intuitive and rigorous approach, in which the scalp is already regarded as skin in its own right. It is a vision that deeply respects life, time, and natural balances—decades before the skincare industry embraced these concepts.

A Rediscovered Heritage, Then Reinterpreted

After Madame d'Alexis passed away, her granddaughter discovered the notebooks. Moved by this legacy, she decided to honor her memory by bringing these formulas to life, reinterpreted in light of today's science.

The water-based formula has been replaced with organic hydrosols

While most skincare products have a predominantly water-based formula, each of these products replaces that water base with organic hydrosols of Damask rose, German chamomile, and orange blossom, enriched with active skincare ingredients: cationic hyaluronic acid, plant-derived ceramides, prebiotics and probiotics, and plant-derived keratin. These skincare products are 97% to 99% natural, produced in small batches in Brittany, and free of sulfates, silicones, and parabens.
