ZAO

ZAO Make-Up is an innovative brand in the beauty industry, renowned for its commitment to sustainability and natural ingredients. Established in 2012 by Cosm’Etika France, ZAO was born from the vision of four friends—David Reccole, Philippe Donnat, Yvan Rouvier, and Salima Macozzi Reccole—who shared a passion for nature and a conscious approach to consumption. The brand distinguishes itself as the first refillable make-up brand, offering products that are 100% natural and certified organic by Ecocert.

ZAO's product range is a testament to the brand's ecological and human commitments, featuring organic make-up that is both vegan and refillable. The brand ensures that its offerings are not only kind to the skin but also to nature, embodying the essence of beauty with a purpose. The textures, hold, color, and comfort of ZAO make-up rival conventional products, while prioritizing environmental respect and consumer health.

The brand's identity is deeply rooted in the use of bamboo, both in its elegant packaging and its product formulas. Bamboo, known for its rapid growth and carbon storage capabilities, reflects ZAO's dedication to reducing carbon footprints. Moreover, bamboo's natural richness in organic silica aids in collagen production, promoting the elasticity of tissues.

ZAO Make-Up's story is intertwined with Asian influences, particularly Buddhism, which resonates with the brand's philosophy of harmony and authenticity. The name 'ZAO' itself is a contraction of 'ZEN' and 'TAO', symbolizing the brand's aspiration for peace of mind and alignment with nature's wisdom.
