SÈVE was born from a simple observation: the skincare industry sells dreams when skin only responds to matter. We chose the side of matter.
We only formulate what we can justify line by line. Each active, its concentration. Each concentration, its reason.
The SÈVE manifestoOur founder spent fifteen years as a galenic formulator for major cosmetic labs. There, she learned something marketing prefers to keep quiet: most formulas contain their star active at doses too low to do anything — just enough to put it on the label.
In 2019, she left it all and set up a small atelier. One non-negotiable starting rule: display the real concentration of every active, on the back of the bottle as well as the front. If a formula can't hold up to that transparency, it doesn't ship.
SÈVE is that principle turned into a brand. Short formulas, dosed to work, tested under dermatological control. Nothing to hide, so everything on display.
Three serums, one obsession: disclosed concentrations. The first orders ship, packed by hand.
Every formula now passes a test under dermatological supervision before launch. The range expands to moisturizers and cleansers.
Leaping Bunny certification. All bottles switch to refillable glass.
Introduction of the online skin diagnostic to match customers to a precise routine.
Full in-housing of R&D. Goal: carbon neutrality across the entire chain by 2027.
The difference isn't always visible on the label. It's there, though — if you know how to read it.
Nothing is outsourced to the other side of the world. Our formulas are conceived, tested and filled in our own atelier. This closeness lets us control every batch and adjust a formula within days rather than months.
