Located in St. Malo, France on the Brittany coast, Phytomer Laboratories specializes in the research and development of marine products. Jean Gédouin founded Phytomer Laboratories in 1971 after using the marine environment to reclaim his health. While striving to achieve his goal of providing salons, day spas, and resorts with the healing benefits of the sea, he recognized lyophilization as the most superior method of processing. Phytomer became the first company to successfully apply this freeze drying method in the production of an advanced cosmetic line.

 

 

Mr. Gédouin was not satisfied to just create products – his goals were much higher. He cultivated a philosophy based on treating the underlying causes of skin disorders, not merely the symptoms. This philosophy resulted in the development of treatment programs specific to each individual needs, based on the delicate balance between dietetics and cosmetics, this is the basis of The Phytomer Method.

 

 

Today Phytomer is recognized by professionals all over the world as an undisputed leader of marine-based beauty therapy. Our reputation arose from Phytomer’s emphasis on education, and the development of the highest quality products possible.

 

 

Phytomer, meaning literally “Plant of the Sea”, is located on the western coast of France. It is the therapeutic powers of the ocean, which brought way to the Phytomer concept, and philosophy of “Beauty Through Health”. The Phytomer Method encompasses a carefully designed treatment program to individualize the needs of each person through the use of skin care, body care, thalassotherapy, solar products, and a men’s line. Through this avenue, Phytomer is able to offer balance and harmony to the body, which leads way to a new sense of well being.
