Pioneering Beauty Approach — “Healthy, Beautiful Skin Is the Foundation of Exquisite Makeup”
During his time as a celebrity makeup artist in Hollywood, Mr. Jean d’Estrées noticed that the intense workload, frequent social engagements, and constant disruption of day and night took a serious toll on the actresses’ skin. These issues often posed significant challenges when it came time to apply makeup before filming.
In response, he began formulating customized lotions, creams, and masks to address the various skin concerns of his celebrity clients. To his surprise, these treatments quickly gained widespread acclaim. Soon, Hollywood actresses became his exclusive clientele, requesting handmade, bespoke skincare products that were often in high demand and difficult to produce fast enough.
The countless beauty experiences in Hollywood not only honed Mr. Jean d’Estrées’ craft but also strengthened his conviction:
“Healthy, beautiful skin is the foundation of exquisite makeup.”

Innovative Skincare Philosophy — “Synergessence”
In 1985, Mr. Jean d’Estrées pioneered the groundbreaking theory of “Synergessence”, along with the concept of “Self-Indulgent Skincare”, establishing his brand as a leader in the French beauty industry.
The brand continues to uphold Mr. Jean d’Estrées’ Synergessence philosophy, which can be simply explained as 1 + 1 > 2. On the brand level, his products are designed to work in tandem with professional SPA techniques, maximizing their effectiveness. On the product level, rather than relying on a single ingredient, formulations are carefully balanced to stimulate synergy between active components, delivering greater results with less effort. This ensures women not only experience visible improvements but also enjoy the sensory pleasure and indulgence of every treatment.
