Folies Royales: The Organic French Cosmetics Brand Dedicated to Bee Protection

When was your brand created?

Our brand, Folies Royales, was launched on December 9, 2014, by 'A Roof for Bees,' an initiative established in 2007. Since 2010, we've offered a hive sponsorship program to support bee populations, partnering with 40 beekeepers across France, 500 companies, and 10,000 individuals.

What values does your brand stand for?

Beekeeping faces significant challenges, including reliance on subsidies for equipment. We supply essential gear to beekeepers and use only organic honey from organic hives in our cosmetics, ensuring sustainable harvesting that never exceeds safe thresholds. Sugar feeding is strictly prohibited, preserving bees' natural diet. Our evolving ethical charter guarantees this commitment.

All ingredients—organic thyme honey, beeswax, and royal jelly—are certified organic. We're dedicated to protecting wild bees in France, whose populations are declining due to factors like pollution. A portion of our profits funds new bee colonies to offset these losses.

Additionally, we promote floral biodiversity by sowing wildflower fields, providing bees with diverse foraging sources and enriching ecosystems.

What are your top products?

Our 'Bee Box' is a standout, blending luxurious organic skincare with a meaningful commitment to planetary health. Modern, eco-friendly packaging sets us apart from traditional organic brands.

Our bestselling day cream, enriched with organic honey, royal jelly, and beeswax, delivers exceptional hydration and nourishment.

What organic certifications do you hold?

We proudly carry Ecocert and Cosmebio labels, ensuring rigorous standards for organic integrity.

What novelties are you launching for 2016?

Our new 'Secret Youth' eye contour cream is set to be a 2016 essential. Featuring an unprecedented concentration of royal jelly, it offers powerful regenerative and anti-aging benefits. We're expanding into targeted anti-aging treatments, expert skincare, and body care ranges.

Where are your products made?

All Folies Royales products are 100% made in France. By sourcing ingredients and packaging locally, we bolster the French economy and align with our mission to protect native French bees. This 'Made in France' approach guarantees premium quality from trusted domestic suppliers.
