For over six decades, Maison Berthe Guilhem has embodied artisanal excellence in natural and organic cosmetics. Founded in 1956 by Berthe Guilhem, a visionary and intuitive woman, this family-run business has preserved and passed on strong values: quality, craftsmanship, respect for nature and users. Berthe, passionate about natural pharmacopoeia, designed her first soaps and ointments inspired by the benefits of goat's milk, an ingredient she considered a treasure for the skin.
The beginnings of this adventure were modest but promising: her creations, initially designed for her close friends and family, quickly conquered a wider circle thanks to their effectiveness and exceptional softness. Today, Marc and Jean-Luc Guilhem, the founder's grandsons, perpetuate this tradition with undiminished passion and a determination to preserve a family know-how inherited and refined over generations.
In a world dominated by mass production, Maison Berthe Guilhem takes a counterpoint stance by adopting an artisanal and local approach, valuing the time and attention given to each product. The formulations, derived from original recipes, are enriched by modern research to guarantee care products that combine authenticity and innovation. This unique combination makes Berthe Guilhem a must-have brand for those seeking natural, effective products.
Goat's milk, the signature ingredient of Maison Berthe Guilhem, is much more than just a component: it's the very essence of the brand. Harvested from locally-bred goats in a setting that respects their well-being, this milk is recognized for its many dermatological virtues. It is particularly rich in vitamins (A, B, E), amino acids, antioxidants and lactic acid, all of which help nourish, moisturize and protect the skin.
Surgras goat's milk soaps, made using a cold saponification process, retain all the natural properties of this precious ingredient. This artisanal process produces creamy, gentle, ultra-moisturizing soaps, ideal for dry, reactive or irritation-prone skin. Thanks to their low moisture content (between 8 and 10%), these soaps also have an extended shelf life, a significant advantage for everyday use.
The benefits of goat's milk are not limited to cleansing care. Incorporated into creams, balms or serums, it works in depth to regenerate skin cells, reduce the signs of aging and soothe inflammation. It's a precious ally for all skin types, including the most sensitive and those prone to imperfections.
At Maison Berthe Guilhem, craftsmanship is much more than a manufacturing method: it's a philosophy, a commitment to quality and excellence. Each product is handcrafted using traditional techniques handed down through three generations. Berthe's grandsons, Marc and Jean-Luc, rigorously perpetuate this approach, ensuring that every stage of the production process reflects the founding values of the company.
The infusions, decoctions and macerations used in the formulations are made on site, guaranteeing total control of the ingredients and optimum exploitation of their active properties. This approach ensures exceptionally effective skin care, while respecting the rhythm of nature.
Maison Berthe Guilhem also attaches particular importance to the environmental impact of its activities. All our skincare products are designed with an ecological and sustainable approach, using organically grown ingredients and minimized packaging. This commitment is also reflected in the certifications obtained by the brand, notably the COSMEBIO, QUALITÉ FRANCE and COSMECERT labels, which attest to the organic and ethical quality of the products.
Although deeply rooted in tradition, Maison Berthe Guilhem is no less committed to innovation. Each product is the fruit of a process of reflection combining science and nature, to offer skincare products adapted to the specific needs of each skin type. Formulations are carefully developed, selecting natural active ingredients renowned for their efficacy, such as noble plant oils (jojoba, sweet almond, argan) and plant extracts with soothing or regenerative properties.
Dermatological tests carried out by independent laboratories guarantee the safety and performance of our skincare products. This attention to detail, combined with an avant-garde vision, enables Maison Berthe Guilhem to offer products that meet the highest standards of organic cosmetics.
