“Laboratoires Curio® are first and foremost a human and family story, at the heart of which is a man, Christian Dampeirou.

After starting out as a young pharmacist, Christian soon rose to fame. Very early on, he began testing, developing, researching and offering skincare to the clientele of the pharmacy where he was employed. He developed a loyal following of customers, because even though his skincare lacked a brand name, logo or fancy packaging, it worked.

The memory of this experience has never left Christian. He is convinced that the best formulations are the simplest. He also knows the importance of high-quality, perfectly balanced ingredients, whose actions work in synergy. As a globe-trotter enamored of our beautiful planet, Christian meticulously sources ancestral ingredients and checks how they are cultivated and extracted to ensure flawless purity. He has perfected the art of introducing them into formulations without damaging them, so they hit their target in our epidermis.

For over 30 years, Christian created formulations for world class cosmetic brands. The young pharmacist had almost become a benchmark in this field but was frustrated by the lack of control over the specifications of the formulations he was required to invent… which, he felt, didn’t always meet the needs of the consumers who were central to his ethos. So, he teamed up with his family and founded Laboratoires Curio® to focus on values that make sense and create wellbeing/caring cosmetics.”
