Founded in 1950, Embryolisse has been a pharmacy staple for over 70 years. Seeking a universal solution to patients’ skincare troubles, founder Dr. Tricot (whose first name remains a mystery) set out to develop a simple, accessible product that worked for all skin types and conditions. More than 70 years later, that goal remains the same. “We strive to constantly create innovative products in France that contribute to the skin’s well-being,” says Embryolisse CEO Nazoura Cassam-Chenaï.
Embryolisse underwent a makeover in 1997 when Alain and Nazoura Cassam-Chenaï took it over. The duo brought fresh air to the brand, modernizing the product offerings and relaunching in French pharmacies. However, the DNA at the brand's core remained the same—affordable dermo-cosmetics (skincare products that use active ingredients to support or care for skin conditions) that provide comfort and skincare improvement to the customers.

Krabičku už nemám a našla jsem dvě trochu odlišná složení, tak nevím které je novější. Berte tohle pořadí orientačně. Hlavní složkou je minerální olej, je tedy nutné zopakovat, že na minerálním oleji není nic škodlivého (sebevíc se vám přírodní kosmetika a clean beauty snaží tento názor vnutit). Ano, sice vzniká při zpracování ropy, ale ten nemá moc společného s ošetřeným olejem pro využití v kosmetice. Nevím, kam všichni chodí pro tu představu, že se to sbírá někde v rafinérce do kýblu a veze rovnou do kosmetických laboratoří. Minerální olej v kosmetice není ani komedogenní, natož tak toxický. Jeho výhodou je, že dokáže tvořit změkčující vrstvu na povrchu pleti a efektivně zabraňovat odpařování vody. Zároveň nezpůsobuje alergické reakce a je vhodný pro citlivou pleť. Na druhou stranu nedodává pleti žádné výživné látky, prostě jen sedí na povrchu.
Dále stojí za zmínku jen bambucké máslo a aloe vera, zbytek složek dotváří texturu krému. Když si tedy vezmeme tyto tři složky, máme osvědčené a otestované ingredience, které se v kosmetice používají léta letoucí. Prostě dobře fungují, proč ne. Jenomže. patří zároveň mezi ty nejlevnější.

What Are The Key Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré Ingredients?
Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré can be used as a cleanser, makeup remover, beauty mask, makeup base, after-sun moisturizer, and aftershave care. With so many different uses, you may be wondering what ingredients are found in this formula. You may be surprised to find out that the ingredients in Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré are actually quite simple. Below we’ll discuss the key ingredients in this formula and how they may benefit your skin.
After water, the highest concentration ingredient in Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré is paraffinum liquidum, also known as liquid paraffin. Liquid paraffin can be classified as an occlusive emollient because it forms a film on the skin that acts as a water resistant barrier. According to the journal Clinical Medicine and Research, the film also helps to prevent evaporation of the skin’s natural moisture. Over time, this increases skin hydration by causing buildup of water in the stratum corneum (the uppermost layer of skin). While all skin types can benefit from emollients like liquid paraffin, emollients are especially helpful for those who have dry, rough, and/or flaky skin.
In addition to liquid paraffin, the Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré formula contains several more emollients, including stearic acid, palmitic acid, beeswax, and shea butter. Both stearic acid and palmitic acid are saturated fatty acids. This means that the carbon chains of these fatty acids do not contain any double bonds, and the carbons are “saturated” with hydrogen atoms (hence the name). Saturated fatty acids are much more stable than unsaturated fatty acids. Both stearic acid and palmitic acid can function as surfactants, meaning they help to wash away excess oil and dirt from the skin. They can also function as emollients, helping to improve the skin’s barrier function and protecting against water loss.
Beeswax is another emollient in the Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré formula. Beeswax, also known as cera alba, is a natural wax produced by honeybees in the cell walls of honeycombs. There are about 300 compounds found in beeswax, including alkanes, acids, esters, polyesters, and hydroxy esters. Beeswax is also a humectant moisturizer. Humectants have a molecular structure with several hydrophilic (water loving) groups, which allows them to attract and retain the moisture in the air nearby via absorption. Humectants improve moisture retention and may also help other topical skin care ingredients to perform better. Lastly, beeswax acts as an emollient and occlusive agent. It forms a soft, protective barrier on the surface of skin, which helps to prevent evaporation of the skin’s natural moisture.
Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré
One tube of Embryolisse Lait Crème Concentré sells every five seconds around the world, and after trying this cult classic, it’s easy to understand why. This moisturizer cleanses, hydrates, nourishes, and protects the skin and can be used on the face and body. A best-seller since 1950, the product blends natural-origin active ingredients—including shea butter, beeswax, soy proteins, and aloe vera—that work together to combat skin woes.
Lait Crème Concentré has a whipped texture that melts on the skin instantly, as I experienced firsthand. Embryolisse recommends applying a small amount of product to clean, damp skin daily and massaging it using circular motions on the face and body. I found that a pea-sized amount of product got the job done on my face. The Lait Crème Concentré is formulated for all skin types and concerns, but we recommend the next product on our list—Lait Crème Sensitive—for anyone with very sensitive skin.
