Authentique

QUALITY WITHOUT COMPROMISE

The natural cosmetics line V*GAM BIOME builds its formulas using advanced understanding of microbiology as well as dermatology. We determined the optimal balance of the skin’s biochemistry and pH with well nourished microorganisms living at its surface. We formulate our products to respect this optimal balance. Without compromising quality.

V*GAM GAMME AUTHENTIQUE MICROBIOME is a natural vegan line, free from irritants such as BHA, paraben, phthalate, perfume and other ingredients known as toxic to humans or the environment. Our ingredients are non irritant and non-toxic.

All ingredients are from natural sources and when possible, from local sources. We use cedar oil made from our neighborhood trees. We call that very local!

OUR STORY

I have always been curious as to how things work. I want to understand what I put on my body. Rapidly, chemistry became a passion. As a teenager, I spent my Sundays analyzing the contents of skincare products available at the drugstore. I wanted skincare products with more natural ingredients but couldn’t find anything satisfactory. Already, I started thinking about developing my own line; “VEGA” was its original name...the V*GAM idea was growing!

Later, I became a biochemist and member of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists. I learned a lot but still had a lot to learn! After graduating in enzymology, in chemistry of natural aromas and with a doctorate degree that developed my bio-fermentation knowledge, I was introduced to the world of the microbiome. This evolved into a second passion!

This understanding of chemistry and bio-fermentation combined synergistically with the discoveries on the microbiome and gave me the ground to develop the V*GAM line.  It is designed to respect both our skin microbiota and the skin’s own natural biochemistry.

After twenty years of experimenting with different projects in oncology, immunology, dermatology and especially after starting a family, I can now reconnect with my passions and develop a healthy and science-based line of products for myself, my family and our community.

I PRESENT YOU MY GAMME AUTHENTIQUE MICROBIOME.
