OUR PRODUCTION PARTNERS | ||
Laboratoire Phytotechnique Company
Laboratoire Phytotechnique company, often called by its nickname “Labophyto”, was founded in 2006 by four friends, Stefano Tunesi, Andrea Tunesi, Simone Simonatto and David Reccole, who was Labophyto's the CEO up to 2013.
Based in Pogliano Milanese, 15 km distance from Milan, Labophyto was the first makeup production factory to be certified by Ecocert for the production of organic makeup from 2007. Today we consider Labophyto to be a true European and even worldwide leader on this field, with more than 45 certified brands produced in its 2 facilities.
Cosm’Etika France benefits from a privileged relationship with this partner by virtue of David's involvement with Labophyto, maintaining strong friendship links with its managers since 2002.
Sustainable Beauty Products
The relationship between Cosm’Etika France and Sustainable Beauty Products International Ltd, producer of our bamboo packaging, provides us with a sizeable portion of our packaging products,. It is also a story of people; indeed, as with Laboratoire Phytotechnique, we’ve known our Chinese partner Jesse Zhou for many years. Since 2005, we’ve established very privileged relationships both professionally and personally with great confidence. Even before the conception of Zao, Jesse accompanied us in the search for Chinese partners capable of making small bamboo objects. Facing a great difficulty in finding qualified partners, David and Jesse decide to make bamboo packaging themselves.
In 2011, David and Salima bought all the necessary machines (wood lathe, saw, jointer, sander etc) for the first pilot production. With Jesse, they built a workshop with 3 workers that continued until the creation of Sustainable Beauty Products International Ltd in 2014. For simplicity and in order to achieve a standard customer-supplier relationship, the machine equipment was transferred free of charge to this new company, in order to achieve a standard customer-supplier relationship.
Fabrik Etik
It is the friendship between Jacques Bonhoure (ESAT* La Providence) and David Reccole that allowed the company Fabrik Etik to be established in May 2016. The two men, friends for 15 years, along with Christophe Chevalier (Group Archer), decided to create a company with a primary objective of offering work to disabled people in a suitable professional environment.
Fabrik Etik, based in our territory of Châteauneuf sur Isère), 5 km distance from Cosm’Etika France, was also designed to create a gateway to a working environment for people with disabilities in medical-social environments such as ESAT* La Providence. Zao's refill system requires a lot of manual labour due to its nature and so Fabrik Etik carries out the complete assembly of Zao products, as well as digital label printing.
Since June 2018, Fabrik Etik has been certified as Cosmos subcontractor for the packaging of organic cosmetics.
