Formulation positioning
Plastic-free solid face cosmetics - the first complete Oceanly range in biodegradable FSC paper packaging.
ATTITUDE (a subsidiary of Bio Spectra) is a canadian cosmetics brand specialized in the formulation of natural, vegan and plastic-free cosmetics. International distribution: Canada (Well.ca, parapharmacies), France and Europe via online parapharmacies and dedicated e-commerce. The brand has established itself in the consumer market through a unique approach combining cosmetic performance and radical environmental commitment. Our core positioning is based on a major formative innovation: the OCEANLY range - the first complete range of facial care products presented in a solid stick format., The product is packaged in a tube of FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified biodegradable paper from sustainably managed forests. According to the brand, packaging accounts for 40 % of plastic waste generated worldwide - the majority of which is neither recycled nor incinerated. The OCEANLY range completely eliminates plastic from cosmetic packaging. The brand is structured around several certifications and ethical commitments EWG VERIFIED™ (Environmental Working Group - an independent non-profit organization employing toxicologists and epidemiologists - free of chemicals of concern according to strict EWG criteria); 100 % vegan; 100 % cruelty-free; dermatologically tested fragrance-free formulas; 100 % biodegradable and recyclable packaging. This is probably one of the most environmentally-friendly contemporary cosmetics marques on the BeautyDecoded panel.. The catalog analyzed includes 20 references (6 stick face creams, 6 eye references including 4 stick concealers, 4 cleansers, 3 stick serums, 1 sun stick). Average score for sensitive skin -0.24 (median 0.00) - favorable algorithmic tolerance profile, consistent with an EWG-certified clean natural brand. Average anti-aging score 32.3 modest - consistent with natural clean positioning (vs. marques clinical 60+). Average redness score +10.6 (favorable). This is a particularly interesting formative case, combining industrial innovation (solid cosmetics), certified environmental commitment, high-performance formulations for sensitive skin, and documented anti-aging active ingredients (phytoglycogen, peptides, stabilized vitamin C).
01
Industrial innovation - solid stick cosmetics and biodegradable FSC paper tube
ATTITUDE Oceanly is the first complete facial care range in solid stick format - serum, day cream, night cream, eye contour, cleanser, mattifying cream, all presented in a biodegradable paper tube with a push-up of solid product. This innovation is structured around several technical choices : (1) virtually eliminates water - solid formulations eliminate water (which usually represents 60-80 % of a conventional cream), reducing the need for preservatives, lightening the transport footprint, and concentrating active ingredients to the effective volume of application; (2) solid texture adaptable to skin heat - the sticks are formulated from vegetable butters and oils (shea, jojoba, castor, almond, argan) that melt on contact with skin heat for uniform application - butter/oil structure particularly well tolerated by sensitive skin; (3) biodegradable FSC paper tube packaging - 100% paper packaging from sustainably managed forests (Forest Stewardship Council certification), 100 % biodegradable and recyclable, no plastic, no metal, no synthetic protective coating. This is probably the most eco-friendly cosmetic packaging system observable among the contemporary marquess on the BeautyDecoded panel.. EWG VERIFIED™ certification completes this commitment with a strict exclusion of a list of ingredients of concern defined by EWG (formaldehyde and releasers, propylparaben, methylisothiazolinone, certain UV filters) - it's one of the most demanding cosmetics labels in the world on the «ingredients of concern» criterion.
02
Phytoglycogen - innovative natural signature active ingredient + peptides + stabilized encapsulated vitamin C
The other major differentiator is the systematic use of the phytoglycogen - a rare active ingredient in mainstream cosmetics, a cross-signature in the Phyto-Glow, Phyto-Age and Phyto-Calm ranges. Phytoglycogen is a branched polysaccharide of plant origin 100 % (mainly sweet corn extract), structurally similar to animal glycogen but without any components of animal origin - a key element of the vegan positioning. Dermatological aspects, phytoglycogen has been documented to have interesting moisturizing properties: prolonged cutaneous water retention, formation of a breathable water-soluble film on the skin surface, antioxidant support action, and cosmetic vector capacity (encapsulation and stabilization of other active ingredients - vitamin C in particular) for gradual release. Important to understand: public scientific data on topical phytoglycogen in dermatology is still emerging - the majority of publications come from industrial research (notably Mirexus Biotechnologies, the main Canadian supplier). It is a light moisturizing and anti-aging adjunct rather than a major corrective agent in the same way as cosmetic retinol or documented bioactive peptides. In addition to phytoglycogen, two other active ingredients structure the performance of the ATTITUDE Oceanly ranges : bioactive peptides (Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 and related depending on formulation) present in Phyto-Age and Phyto-Cleanse - documented for collagen stimulation (Schagen SK et al., Cosmetics, 2017) ; stabilized encapsulated vitamin C (stable derivatives such as Ascorbyl Glucoside or Tetraisopalmitate) present in Phyto-Glow - encapsulated in a phytoglycogen matrix that solves the problem of stability while benefiting from the vectoring properties of phytoglycogen. Phyto-Age anti-aging score: 68.0 - a respectable performance for a clean natural range.
ATTITUDE ranges
Seven ranges to cover the solid face and body cosmetics routine.
The ATTITUDE catalog is divided into seven complementary ranges with the Oceanly signature (stick face care) as its main focus. Mapping of ranges with their target and signature assets.
| range | Target / function | Signature assets |
|---|---|---|
| Oceanly Phyto-Glow | Radiance - dull skin, first signs of aging | Phytoglycogen + stabilized vitamin C + dulse + B5 |
| Oceanly Phyto-Age | Anti-ageing - mature skin, deep wrinkles | Phytoglycogen + peptides + watercress extract + argan oil |
| Oceanly Phyto-Calm | Soothing - sensitive, reactive skin | Shea + jojoba + soothing phytoglycogen |
| Oceanly Phyto-Cleanse | Daily solid cleaner | Laminaria digitata + peptides + glycerine |
| Oceanly Concealer Stick | 5-shade solid corrective makeup | Castor oil + almond oil + vitamin C |
| Oatmeal Sensitive Sun Stick | Photoprotection SPF 30 for sensitive skin | Filters + soothing colloidal oatmeal |
| Super Leaves | Face and body cleansers | Leaf extracts (orange, jasmine, petitgrain) |
The algorithmic tolerance profile is objectively favorable. The average ATTITUDE sensitive skin score (-0.24, median 0.00) is favorable, consistent with an EWG VERIFIED™ certified fragrance-free solid cosmetics brand.. This profile can be explained by several factors: (1) systematic absence of fragrance in the majority of references - eliminates the main source of cosmetic allergens; (2) EWG VERIFIED™ certification - strict exclusion of a list of chemicals of concern (formaldehyde and releasers, propylparaben, methylisothiazolinone, certain UV filters); (3) minimalist formulas - solid sticks by nature have shorter INCIs (elimination of water + aqueous preservatives + emulsifying texturizers) - fewer ingredients = less risk of sensitization through additive effects; (4) soothing support cocktail shea butter, jojoba oil, glycerin, colloidal oatmeal, phytoglycogen - ingredients with a documented favorable tolerance profile for sensitive and atopic skin.

Honest nuance on anti-aging
Moderate anti-aging performance - consistent with EWG VERIFIED clean natural positioning.
Average anti-aging score ATTITUDE : 32.3 - modest compared with marques clinical premium (Alpyn Beauty 69.3, APLB anti-aging medium 65+, Theramid 70+). This nuance is important to understand objectively.
| ATTITUDE anti-aging positioning | Level | Suitable target |
|---|---|---|
| Gentle, preventive natural anti-aging | Phytoglycogen + peptides + derived Vit C + watercress extract | Skin aged 25-45, sensitive, prevention |
| Powerful corrective anti-aging | Not available (incompatible with EWG criteria) | Complete with clinical active ingredient (retinoid, etc.) |
| Max catalog anti-aging score | 68,0 (Phyto-Age Face Cream) | Consistent clean natural positioning |
| Max anti-aging score BD panel | 91.8 (Clarifying Facial Oil Alpyn Beauty) | Retinol clinical maximum correction |
Structuring algorithmic reading. ATTITUDE Oceanly is positioned on gentle, preventive natural anti-aging (phytoglycogen + peptides + derived vitamin C + watercress extract), not on powerful corrective anti-aging (pure retinol, concentrated exfoliating acids, bakuchiol clinical). This is consistent with the EWG VERIFIED™ positioning (exclusion of ingredients of concern - natural limit of maximum corrective performance). For the ATTITUDE target profile - Sensitive skin, young skin looking for prevention + radiance, atopic skin on a support routine, ecologically-sensitive consumers looking for solid, plastic-free cosmetics - this moderate anti-aging performance is consistent and sufficient. For users seeking maximum corrective anti-aging performance on deep wrinkles and age spots, marques clinical (Alpyn Beauty Clarifying Facial Oil anti-aging 91.8, APLB Liposome Retinol LX anti-aging 88.4, RetrinAL 0.1 % Avène) remain the preferred choice. ATTITUDE is then a gentle complementary option in a multi-marques routine. Source : Schagen SK et al. Topical peptide treatments. Cosmetics. 2017.
Position in the solid cosmetics segment
ATTITUDE towards marques solid cosmetics / zero waste - the only specialized face care stick with documented anti-aging active ingredients.
Comparison with other marques solid/zero-waste cosmetics on the consumer market French Lamazuna, British Lush, French Bea Loves. This is still an emerging segment of the cosmetics market.
| Criteria | ATTITUDE Oceanly | Lamazuna | Lush | Bea Loves |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Origin | Quebec, Canada | Drôme, France 2010 | United Kingdom 1995 | Brittany, France |
| Signature | Face care stick Oceanly | Global zero-waste cosmetics | Colorful, fragrant solid cosmetics | Deodorants + solid soaps |
| Single format | FSC paper push-up stick | Pebbles + pots + razor sticks | Colored pavers + bath bombs | Pebbles + sticks |
| Catalog analyzed BD | 20 references | Not analyzed BD | Not analyzed BD | Not analyzed BD |
| Average sensitivity score | -0,24 (median 0.00) | Not available | Often unfavorable (HE loaded) | Not available |
| Certifications | EWG VERIFIED + vegan + cruelty-free | Cosmos + B Corp | Cruelty-free + vegan | Slow Cosmetics + vegan |
| Packaging | FSC biodegradable paper tube | Cardboard + vegetable wax | Often bare + paper | Recycled cardboard |
| Documented anti-aging active ingredients | Phytoglycogen + peptides + Vit C | Limited (vegetable oils) | Limited | Limited |
| Average price face stick | 20-30 € (30 g) | 15-25 € | 10-30 € | 15-25 € |
ATTITUDE Oceanly occupies a unique position in the zero-waste natural solid cosmetics segment. (1) A unique specialization in facial care in stick format - most marques solid cosmetics companies focus on body care (soaps, shampoos) without a complete face care range; (2) the presence of documented anti-aging active ingredients (signature phytoglycogen + peptides + stabilized encapsulated vitamin C) - one of the few solid cosmetic formats observable with a real anti-ageing skin care dimension; (3) EWG VERIFIED™ certification - one of the most demanding cosmetics labels in the world in terms of ingredients of concern; (4) the revolutionary biodegradable FSC push-up paper tube packaging ; (5) remarkably favourable average tolerance profile (-0.24 median 0.00) consistent with the systematic absence of perfume and strict EWG exclusion. For ecologically aware users looking for a solid, plastic-free face cosmetic with real skincare performance., ATTITUDE Oceanly is probably the segment benchmark to date. For maximum corrective anti-aging performance, conventional marques clinical (Alpyn Beauty, APLB, Retinol dermo-cosmetics) remain the preferred choice.
Noteworthy training case
Petitgrain & Jasmine Super Leaves Shower Gel - the only unfavorable profile reference in the catalog.
Only one reference in the ATTITUDE catalog has an unfavourable tolerance profile: the Petitgrain & Jasmine Super Leaves Shower Gel achieves a sensitive skin score of -5,00 - it's the only exception in a catalog that's generally very well tolerated (average sensitivity -0.24, median 0.00).
| Point of vigilance | Level | Practical consequences |
|---|---|---|
| Sensitive skin score | -5.00 (worst catalog score) | Not recommended for sensitive, atopic or rosacea skin. |
| Redness score | -114,8 | Detergent format + aromatic compounds combined |
| Concentrated essential oils | Petitgrain + jasmine (sensitizing aromatic compounds) | Linalool, linalyl acetate, benzyl acetate, jasmone |
| Catalog alternatives | Natural Shower Gel Extra Gentle Fragrance-Free | 0.00 sensitive - fragrance-free |
Important to understand - this formative case illustrates a general formulatory principle. The «clean natural» claim or the Super Leaves format does not exempt from the sensitizing potential of concentrated essential oils. This is consistent with scientific data on fragrance allergens (Yazar K et al., Contact Dermatitis, 2011): aromatic compounds of natural origin (Linalool, Limonene, Citral) retain their sensitizing potential irrespective of their biosourced or synthetic origin. For the most reactive skin types, the Natural Shower Gel Extra Gentle Fragrance-Free format (0.00 sensitive) is still preferable within the same catalog.. This is an objective example of the importance of individual INCI reading, even within a globally well-constructed, EWG VERIFIED-certified brand..

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need really know.
Is ATTITUDE really a Quebec brand?
Yes. ATTITUDE is an authentic Canadian Quebec cosmetics brand, a subsidiary of Bio Spectra. The flagship OCEANLY range was launched as the first complete facial care line in solid stick format with biodegradable FSC paper tube packaging. International distribution: Canada (Well.ca, parapharmacies), France and Europe via online parapharmacies and dedicated e-commerce (ca.attitudeliving.com). All products are manufactured in Canada to high quality standards and certified EWG VERIFIED™.. The brand's Quebec identity is explicitly asserted in corporate communications («Québécois de Nature»).
What is EWG VERIFIED™ certification?
EWG VERIFIED™ is a cosmetics certification label issued by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) - an independent non-profit organization based in Washington D.C., employing toxicologists and epidemiologists. The label guarantees that the cosmetic product Our products: (1) contain no ingredients on the EWG list of «chemicals of concern» (formaldehyde and releasers, propylparaben, methylisothiazolinone, certain UV filters); (2) comply with strict criteria on potential contaminants, good manufacturing practices, and full compositional transparency. It is one of the most demanding cosmetics labels in the world in terms of «ingredients of concern».». Important to understand EWG VERIFIED™ is a label of’exclusion (what's not in the product), not a’efficiency (the product's active cosmetic performance). An EWG VERIFIED™ reference is guaranteed to be well tolerated by sensitive skin, but does not necessarily guarantee maximum corrective performance (the majority of very powerful active ingredients such as prescription retinoids and high-concentration exfoliating acids are incompatible with EWG criteria).
Is phytoglycogen really 60 % more hydrating than hyaluronic acid?
It's a marketing claim communicated by the ATTITUDE brand and based on internal industrial studies (typically in vitro / ex vivo) - not on independent randomized clinical trials published in dermatological reference literature. Important to understand Phytoglycogen is a branched polysaccharide of plant origin (mainly sweet corn extract) with documented moisturizing properties. Public scientific data on topical phytoglycogen in dermatology are still emerging - the majority of publications come from industrial research. For users seeking clinically-documented cosmetic hydration, hyaluronic acid (various molecular weights) remains the gold standard with robust clinical data accumulated over 20+ years.. Phytoglycogen is an interesting emerging plant-based alternative with a unique ecological dimension (elimination of glycogen extraction from shellfish). To be understood as a recent cosmetic innovation rather than as a clinically superior reference to hyaluronic acid at the time of writing.
Do ATTITUDE solid sticks last as long as a conventional cream?
An important question, objectively speaking. On volume produced Phyto-Age Crème Visage Bâton 30 g is equivalent in effective volume to a conventional 50 ml jar of cream (conventional creams contain 60-80 % of water - water is eliminated in the solid format). In service life consumption depends on the number of daily applications - typically 6-8 weeks in a morning and evening routine, applying to the whole face, similar to a conventional 50 ml jar of cream. On price per gram ATTITUDE Oceanly is positioned at the high end of the clean natural range (~€0.7-1/g) - consistent with EWG VERIFIED positioning + biodegradable FSC paper packaging + documented active ingredients. Compare with sensitive dermo-cosmetics (Tolériane LRP ~€0.4/g, Sensibio Bioderma ~€0.4/g) or marques clinical premium (Theramid ~€0.7-1/g, Alpyn Beauty €0.8-1.2/g). Consistent positioning as an accessible premium in the clean solid cosmetics segment.
Is ATTITUDE suitable for atopic skin?
For atopic skin stabilized between flare-ups: yes, ATTITUDE Oceanly is a relevant cosmetic support option. The formulative features favorable to atopic skin are numerous: (1) systematic absence of fragrance in the majority of references; (2) EWG VERIFIED™ certification - strict exclusion of irritating allergens and preservatives; (3) soothing cocktail of shea butter + jojoba oil + phytoglycogen + colloidal oatmeal (Sun Stick); (4) minimalist formulas with short INCIs - fewer ingredients = fewer sensitizing risks; (5) average sensitive score -0.24 (median 0.00) favorable. For atopic skin in moderate to severe active flare-up, dermatological consultation remains a priority. with medical management (prescribed dermocorticoids + dermo-cosmetic emollients such as Lipikar AP+ LRP, Atoderm Crème Bioderma, Mustela Stelatopia). ATTITUDE can be integrated into a stabilized cosmetic support routine between flare-ups. For atopic skin requiring specifically dedicated eczema references with anti-aging peptide dimensions, Alpyn Beauty's Super Peptide & Ghostberry Moisturizer for Eczema remains a differentiated dedicated option. Strictly avoid for atopic skin Petitgrain & Jasmine Super Leaves Shower Gel (-5.00 sensitive), Stick Oceanly Concealer in case of allergy to nuts (presence of sweet almond oil).
Is the Phyto-Age range enough for a complete anti-aging routine?
For a Mild to moderate anti-aging preventive routine (skin aged 25-45 with no marked photoaging damage): yes, The Phyto-Age range is a consistent natural clean routine with documented anti-ageing performance (anti-ageing cream score 68.0 - one of the best solid clean anti-ageing scores observable). For a maximum corrective anti-ageing routine (45+ skins with established wrinkles, marked sun spots): the Phyto-Age range is the only one that is sufficient - It's a natural clean main routine that needs to be complemented by a clinical corrective active ingredient 2-3 times/week in a progressive cure. Clinical patching options in the BeautyDecoded panel Clarifying Facial Oil Retinol + Pink Algae Alpyn Beauty (sensitive -5.2 but anti-ageing 91.8 TOP catalog panel), Liposome Retinol LX APLB (sensitive +1.05 + anti-ageing 88.4 - best retinol tolerated), Retinal Booster Shot Arencia (sensitive -0.7 + retinaldehyde 10× retinol), RetrinAL 0.1 % Avène (dermo-cosmetic reference retinaldehyde). For pregnancy and breastfeeding, ATTITUDE Phyto-Age alone (without clinical retinoids) constitutes a coherent cosmetic anti-aging routine that is compatible with the following products.
Which ATTITUDE product should I choose for very sensitive skin?
Optimum selection for sensitive or reactive skin: (1) Phyto-Glow Serum Stick (+1.00 sensitive - TOP catalog) as a preventive radiance serum; (2) Phyto-Glow Crème Visage Bâton (+0.75 sensitive) day cream; (3) Phyto-Age Crème Visage Bâton (0.00 sensitive + anti-aging 68.0) for moderate anti-aging; (4) Phyto-Calm Crème Visage Bâton (0.00 sensitive) alternating soothing cream; (5) Phyto-Cleanse Facial Cleansing Stick (0.00 sensitive) as a gentle daily cleanser; (6) Sun Stick SPF 30 Oatmeal Sensitive (0.00 sensitive + anti-aging 80.75) in complementary photoprotection; (7) Natural Shower Gel Extra Gentle Fragrance-Free (0.00 sensible) for the body. To be strictly avoided Petitgrain & Jasmine Super Leaves Shower Gel (-5.00 sensitive, concentrated EO). For the most sensitive skin looking for an even more tolerant routine, the HA B5 Ceramide APLB range (+3.55 sensitive - absolute record) remains the panel's benchmark.
What is the BeautyDecoded application?
BeautyDecoded allows you to choose cosmetics adapted to your skin type thanks to INCI analysis. The application analyzes formulations and generates compatibility scores for 80 skin types and profiles. 20 ATTITUDE references have been identified in the database with real data including strong signals: the favorable average tolerance profile (-0.24 median 0.00 consistent with EWG VERIFIED certification) ; industrial innovation in solid stick cosmetics with biodegradable FSC paper packaging - probably the most successful brand on the BeautyDecoded panel in terms of environmental criteria; ; the presence of documented anti-aging active ingredients (phytoglycogen, peptides, encapsulated stabilized vitamin C) rare in the solid cosmetics format; ; the single unfavorable formative case (Petitgrain & Jasmine Super Leaves Shower Gel -5.00) illustrating the usefulness of individual INCI reading even within an EWG-certified brand. It does not constitute a medical consultation.

BeautyDecoded is a cosmetic analysis application using artificial intelligence and is not a medical diagnostic tool. ATTITUDE is a Canadian Quebec cosmetics brand (subsidiary Bio Spectra) - its products are not medical devices. This analysis is based on 20 ATTITUDE references algorithmically analyzed by BeautyDecoded, with no registered user reviews. - the analysis is based exclusively on algorithmic formulation scores and detailed examination of INCI lists. Average sensitive skin score -0.24 (median 0.00) favourable - consistent with an EWG VERIFIED™ certified clean natural brand. Central positioning OCEANLY: signature «solid cosmetic face stick with biodegradable FSC paper tube packaging» - OCEANLY's flagship range, the world's first complete facial skincare range in solid stick format, is probably the most environmentally-friendly cosmetic packaging system among the marques contemporary products on the panel. Certifications EWG VERIFIED™ (Environmental Working Group - strict exclusion of ingredients of concern: formaldehyde and releasers, propylparaben, methylisothiazolinone, certain UV filters), 100 % vegan, 100 % cruelty-free, dermatologically tested fragrance-free formulas, 100 % biodegradable and recyclable packaging. Signature assets phytoglycogen (a branched polysaccharide of plant origin extracted from sweet corn, structurally close to animal glycogen but with no animal components) - a rare active ingredient in mainstream cosmetics, documented for prolonged cutaneous water retention and cosmetic carrier capacity. Important to understand Public scientific data on topical phytoglycogen in dermatology is still emerging - the majority of publications come from industrial research (notably Mirexus Biotechnologies, the main Canadian supplier). The claim «60 % more moisturizing than hyaluronic acid» is based on in-house industrial in vitro/ex vivo studies, not on independent randomized clinical trials published in dermatological reference literature. For clinically documented cosmetic hydration, hyaluronic acid (different molecular weights) remains the gold standard with robust clinical data. Formative nuggets from the catalog : (1) Phyto-Glow Sérum Bâton (+1.00 sensitive - TOP catalog, phytoglycogen + encapsulated stabilized vitamin C + dulse + B5, industrial innovation solid stick FSC paper), (2) Phyto-Age Crème Visage Bâton (anti-aging 68.0 TOP catalog + sensitive 0.00 + redness +57 - peptides + phytoglycogen + watercress extract + argan oil + shea butter, probably the best solid natural clean anti-aging reference observable on the panel), (3) Oatmeal Sensitive SPF 30 Sun Stick (sensitive 0.00 + anti-aging 80.75 - filters + Avena sativa colloidal oat recognized by the U.S. FDA as a documented skin protectant for atopic and sensitive skin). Single unfavorable formative case to report Petitgrain & Jasmine Super Leaves Shower Gel (-5.00 sensitive, redness -114.8) - body shower gel scented with concentrated essential oils (petitgrain + jasmine), cumulative detergent format + sensitizing aromatic compounds (linalool, linalyl acetate, benzyl acetate, jasmone). Strictly not recommended for sensitive, atopic or rosacea skin - alternative in the same catalog Natural Shower Gel Extra Gentle Fragrance-Free (0.00 sensitive). Honest limits on anti-aging Average anti-aging score ATTITUDE 32.3 modest compared with marques clinical premium (Alpyn Beauty 69.3, APLB 65+, Theramid 70+). Consistent with EWG VERIFIED positioning, which excludes prescription retinoids and highly concentrated active ingredients. For maximum corrective anti-aging on established wrinkles and stubborn blemishes, marques clinical (Alpyn Beauty Clarifying Facial Oil anti-aging 91.8, APLB Liposome Retinol LX anti-aging 88.4, RetrinAL 0.1 % Avène) remain preferred as a complement or main routine. Compatibility with pregnancy and breastfeeding ATTITUDE Oceanly is one of the most compatible marquess on the BeautyDecoded panel for expectant mothers. Strictly to be avoided during pregnancy: Petitgrain & Jasmine Super Leaves Shower Gel (concentrated EO not recommended as a dermatological precaution). For maximum photoprotection against chloasma during pregnancy, we recommend SPF 50+ dermo-cosmetics in addition to SPF 30 Sun Stick. Specific contraindications Concealer Stick Oceanly (contains sweet almond oil) strictly contraindicated in cases of documented allergy to nuts. 48-hour patch test on forearm recommended before facial use for all new cosmetics on reactive skin or in the event of an allergic history. In the event of a skin reaction to a cosmetic, stop use immediately and consult a healthcare professional. For any skin condition that is chronic or resistant to cosmetic care after 2-3 months (moderate to severe atopic eczema, active inflammatory rosacea, advanced photoaging), dermatological consultation is a priority - ATTITUDE is a coherent cosmetic complement to medical care, not a substitute for it.
