What sets MATIS Paris apart from many other professional skincare brands is related to its founding: A brand created by a pharmacist thinks about active ingredients differently. Not as an ingredient on a list, but as a pharmacological decision. What does this substance do? Why in this concentration? What happens when it is combined with this other active ingredient?
The in-house research and development center in the Cosmetic Valley near Paris works with insights from medicine, molecular biology, and cell biology. Active ingredients like Hyaluronsäure, Peptide, vitamins, and skin-stabilizing actives are specifically tailored to particular skin conditions – with the goal of developing formulations that are both effective and convincing in their texture.
The Cosmetic Valley is more than just a location. It is the most important cosmetic research cluster in the world – a region where leading perfume and cosmetic companies research, develop, and produce. The infrastructure, networks, and knowledge concentrated there have no equivalent outside of France. MATIS Paris is part of this ecosystem – and takes advantage of it.
Besides scientific effectiveness, sensory quality also plays a central role at MATIS. A cream that feels unpleasant will not be used daily – and a product that is not used daily cannot work. Texture at MATIS is therefore not an aesthetic detail but a functional decision.
