It was in La Gacilly, at the heart of his native Brittany in France, that Yves Rocher’s passion for the plant world was born. Pioneering Botanist, he developed his plant-based beauty products in the attic of his family home, which then became his laboratory. He invented a new form of beauty, with the highest respect for Women and Nature. He chose to create and develop his company in his village.
