Hello Pomponnette,
Whether it's for the research and development of the formula, its manufacturing, its packaging, but also for our labels, our clinical tests, and so on... at Pomponne, we favor made in France. Here are the 3 reasons for this choice we are so pomponnement proud of:
1- Promoting French expertise and boosting the French economy
You should know that 65% of the makeup products sold worldwide are manufactured in Italy, especially in the regions of Milan, Bergamo, and Crema - did you also think of the candy*? -.
While our Italian neighbors are known for being the kings of makeup, we also have experts in France! And being made in France also helps boost our country's economy, so if we can do our - small - part!
2- Ensuring the safety of Pomponne natural makeup
European regulations are the strictest in the world. So choosing made in France guarantees consumer safety, and that's something we care about for the well-being of our Pomponnettes!
Made in France imposes rules for controlling the composition of products (for example, there are substances prohibited only in Europe) but also for how they are manufactured and marketed - "respect for good manufacturing practices" as we say -.
There is also a regulation to ensure consumer information for proper product use, as well as to list any adverse effects and quickly remove a defective or counterfeit product from the market. So rest assured, Pomponnette, in France as in Europe, everything is completely under control!
3- Reducing Pomponne's carbon footprint
To minimize transportation as much as possible, we manufacture and package 173 km (about 1h50 of transport) from where we store and ship our Pomponnettes' orders - if that's not carbon footprint reduction! -
And as for our packaging, when we can't find it - unfortunately - in France, we go to our neighboring European friends like Italy for example :)
.
That's it, Pomponnette, you know all about our choices. We try to make what we believe are the best choices for Pomponne makeup, even if ecology is a truly vast subject!
And you, do you favor made in France for your purchases?
