The story of Fées en Provence (in English: Fairies of Provence) began in the southern French town of Aubagne back in 2010. Natalia Schweckler was a chemist by trade and passionate about phytotherapy. Inspired by the treasures of the Provence region, she came up with the idea of making beauty products containing record amounts of high-quality natural active ingredients.

Today, most of Fées en Provence’s products are developed and manufactured in our laboratory in Aix-en-Provence, where nature abounds with active ingredients that are beneficial to our skin. At Fées en Provence, we always prioritise the use of naturally derived active ingredients that are respectful to both the environment and your skin.
Our goal is to create effective beauty products that are a pleasure to use, formulated only with active ingredients and processes that are certified vegan and organic.
You can certainly trust our tiny fairy hands!

“I trained as a chemist and am passionate about phytotherapy and aromatherapy. In 2010, I decided to create my own beauty laboratory in Aubagne.
When I was about 20, I started making my own beauty products. I wanted to formulate products that were vegan – a cause I hold extremely close to my heart – as well as being high-quality and organic. I thought, why not make them myself? Then at least I’ll know what’s in them!
Soon after that, I got into vegetable oils, aromatic hydrosols, plant extracts and essential oils, and the properties they have. I realised it was possible to develop really special formulas, thanks to the proven benefits of these valuable natural ingredients.
Years later, I created the “Fées en Provence” range using precious ingredients that weren’t widely used. I work with the plant “totum”, so with hydroglycerine extracts, macerations or distillations.
For each new product, I pay special attention to the quality of the active ingredients I use, and where I’m getting them from. Sensory appeal is also important, so smooth textures and delicate fragrances are key.
I work where possible with local organic producers and laboratories in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region.”
