Women undergoing cancer treatment often face highly sensitive skin, vulnerable to harsh ingredients like endocrine disruptors common in conventional cosmetics. This makes routine skincare and makeup a real challenge. Yet embracing femininity remains vital during this journey—especially given that 64% of women with cancer feel less confident in their appearance (Leon Berard Center study) and 2 in 3 report that treatment-related physical changes impact their sense of womanhood (Institut Curie Vivavoice barometer).
Founded in 2015, MÊME addresses these needs with skincare and cosmetics specially formulated for women in treatment. Developed alongside oncologists and dermatologists, every product is made in France using an average of 96% natural-origin ingredients—free from controversial substances like essential oils, contraindicated for cancer patients.
Transparency is core: MÊME shares its clinical study results, formulation charter, and scientific committee roster publicly. Hover over (or tap on mobile) any product's full ingredient list to reveal each component's source and function.
Featuring elegant, feminine packaging in white with soft pink accents, MÊME's 15 products cater to diverse needs. Key offerings include a soothing scalp mist (apricot kernel oil, organic calendula extract, camellia japonica oil), a nourishing face cream (shea butter, allantoin, camellia japonica oil), and a body cream (organic aloe vera gel, apricot kernel oil, organic lime blossom honey). The lineup also covers makeup remover, nail solvent, hand/foot/nail care, and body cleansing oil—all with gentle, natural ingredients safe for treatment-compromised skin.
On the makeup front, discover the BB cream (organic oat extract, vitamin E, mineral pigments) and silicon-based nail polishes (paraben-, phthalate-, benzophenone-, and heavy metal-free) in pink and red shades to fortify and color fragile nails.
MÊME gives back: 1% of turnover supports the Unicancer network of 18 cancer centers, and they supply products to Echappée Rose, the mobile wellness institute for hospitalized women (from Tout le Monde Contre le Cancer and Eau Thermale Avène).
Ideal for yourself or a loved one, MÊME helps reclaim body confidence and femininity. Shop on their site or in over 2,220 pharmacies, from €8.90 (nail polishes) to €24.90 (scalp mist).
