French luxury skincare and cosmetics, established in Paris, 1987.
ÉCLAT was founded by Marguerite Duval in a small workshop on the Left Bank. She had trained under her grandmother in Grasse, the perfume capital of France, and wanted to apply that knowledge to skincare.
Her approach was straightforward: use quality ingredients, develop formulas carefully, and never cut corners. That principle still guides everything we do today.
— Marguerite Duval, Founder
Good skincare is not complicated. It is about choosing the right ingredients and taking the time to get the formula right.
What started as a single workshop has grown into an international brand. We now have boutiques in major cities and ship to customers in over 40 countries.
Our headquarters remain in Paris, where our team develops and tests all products. We also maintain a facility in Grasse for our fragrance work, continuing the connection to French perfumery traditions.
Despite this growth, we still follow the same process Marguerite established: research, formulate, test, refine. Some products take years to develop before they meet our standards.
We select ingredients based on effectiveness, not trends. Every component must serve a purpose.
Our formulators take the time needed to develop products properly. We do not rush to market.
We respect the knowledge passed down through generations of French cosmetics makers.
We are transparent about what goes into our products and how they are made.

Our packaging now uses recycled materials where possible, and we are working toward fully recyclable packaging across all product lines. We have also reduced water usage in our manufacturing processes.
