La Bouche Rouge
Since 2017 : Revolutionizing Beauty with Sustainability and Luxury
Founded in 2017 by Nicolas Gerlier, a former L'Oréal executive, La Bouche Rouge Paris emerged as a bold response to the beauty industry's growing concerns over sustainability and plastic waste.
With a vision to create a clean, eco-conscious alternative to traditional cosmetics, Gerlier departed from the prevalent use of plastic and introduced refillable lipstick cases crafted from upcycled leather.
The brand’s name, "La Bouche Rouge," meaning "Red Lips" in French, symbolizes both a commitment to the environment and a bold, luxurious statement in the beauty world. This innovative approach set a new standard in sustainable beauty, combining elegance with environmental responsibility.
