March is Women's Month at NUOO, though we celebrate women year-round. This month, we're spotlighting the inspiring women who trust us with their products—trailblazers who empower others. Discover their stories and visions of beauty. Today, we chat with Camille and Clémentine, best friends and co-founders of the French 'green and sexy' brand Les Petits Prödiges.
"We are Camille and Clémentine, co-founders of Les Petits Prödiges. Best friends for over 10 years, we launched our entrepreneurial journey three years ago at the end of 2017. Les Petits Prödiges crafts natural, eco-responsible cosmetics that reinvent hygiene and beauty essentials in a 'Green & Sexy' way. 'Green' means natural formulas, eco-friendly packaging, and local production; 'sexy' brings vibrant designs, luxurious textures, and delightful scents. Coming from major cosmetics groups, we were tired of overconsumption—bathrooms full of products, yet we only used a handful. We sought responsible consumption for health and the planet without sacrificing pleasure. Thus, Les Petits Prödiges was born: natural, eco-friendly essentials that delight. Hygiene products are daily staples, yet often overlooked in composition and design—time to change that!"
"Beauty for women is diverse—no single ideal. Each has her routine and knows how to shine, inside and out. We champion simple, natural routines because women glow most authentically."
"Tough question! Professionally, we admire entrepreneurs like Juliette Levy, Mathilde Lacombe, and Meryl Job, who masterfully balance business and life. We look beyond gender to inspiring paths and achievements."
"Our motto at Les Petits Prödiges: See the glass half full! Positivity is key, even in tough times. As a duo, if one falters, the other lifts them up."
"To aspiring entrepreneurs: Just start! The first step is hardest, but the rewards—professional and personal growth—are immense. It's challenging, but building your project is profoundly fulfilling."
Les Petits Prödiges excels in solid cosmetics with minimal, natural-origin ingredients, suitable for all skin types. French-made with ultra-minimalist packaging, their deodorants are biodegradable—true zero-waste wonders.
A hallmark is their minimalist formulas; count ingredients on one hand! Multi-purpose balms have just 8. Like food, short lists build trust—especially incomprehensible ones. All INCI lists are translated to French for full transparency.
Their debut: a versatile balm that removes makeup, hydrates skin, hands, beards, dry hair ends, and even suits toddlers (opt for neutral or coconut). Ideal for sensitive, atopic skin like eczema. Travel sizes available. Now expanded to natural deodorants, soaps, and solid shampoos.
Embracing slow cosmetics principles: produce and consume healthily, naturally, responsibly. Zero waste, no excess—just quality and commitment.
Universal appeal: deodorants with varied essential oils, floral soaps, shampoos for all hair types, balms for body, face, hair, hands—you name it!
Expectant and nursing moms rejoice: Solid shampoos and soaps are essential oil-free. Neutral/coconut balms too. A special deodorant skips baking soda, perfume, and oils.
Products are organic by nature, skipping costly labels to keep prices accessible amid rigorous testing. Cruelty-free across the board. Not fully vegan—balms include honey, royal jelly, beeswax, sourced respectfully.
Economical and ecological, prioritizing planet and skin.
