Our heritage and FAQ's

From origins on Avenue Foch

The original perfusion was designed by a chemist and naturopath and was the first refrigerated skincare brand to pursue a wholly natural approach. The brand quickly became popular among the well connected and often titled women of Paris.

In 2010, the brand was moved to Queensland, Australia to incorporate the local grown Aloe Vera gel missing from the original formula. Over the course of 3 years, a world first technique to pasteurize the aloe gel and remove most of the water, to assist in preservation without harsh chemicals was developed.

The made fresh and 100% preservative-free ethos continues today. 

Health conscious luxury

Your health is given primary consideration in every product we produce, with rigorous EU standards applied to every ingredient, using only organic oils, essential oils and Aloe Vera. All our products are free from animal products, parabens, toxic metals and are never animal tested. Our world class preservation system uses a combination of:

1. Small, fresh batches (we only make enough product for the week), then we refrigerate it for you before purchase. We also express post them right to your door.

2. Slow pasteurization, we heat the aloe gel base gently to 60c and hold it there for 1 hour, which eliminates bacteria, whilst preserving the 75 key nutrients for your skin.

3. Plant based preservation, including lonicera, lemongrass, cedar, unique basil extracts such as p-anisic and caprylic extracts.

4. The resulting gel base is stable, thick and rich and the perfect hydrator for your skin.
