The Foucaud brand is French and developed in Paris in 1946 by the laboratory created by Lucienne Merle, an independent laboratory which still bears her name today and which is part of the EA Pharma group like Conceptio, Eafit, Chondrosteo or even Labcatal. Foucaud's friction is thus the first product in the range, presented as "sovereign against fatigue". The story of this product began during his many stays in Indochina where the climate could be harsh.
The values of the Merle laboratory, through its know-how for 70 years, is to offer its consumers natural aromatherapeutic care products, of quality and packaged in glass containers for the recyclable aspect. Its products are all tested under dermatological expertise (not tested on animals) and do not contain animal, mineral or phenoxyethanol origin.
La friction de Foucaud is an energizing body lotion with a composition that has remained the same for over 60 years and still remains a secret. It consists of a mixture of essential oils with lemon, orange, thyme, rosemary, associated with extracts of camphor and menthol. La friction de Foucaud was first successful in Asia, Africa and the West Indies before being distributed on French territory with catchy slogans such as “the whiplash against fatigue” or “with Foucaud, always ready”.
The term friction corresponds to the tonic application gesture to restore vigor and vitality throughout the day, after the shower or sports. Ideal in summer, it brings a feeling of freshness after its application, this lotion can also be used as a deodorant. The lotion is particularly famous among backpackers, going on hikes, because it cleans the body and face without water or soap and without rinsing. This is why it exists in a 50 ml spray, ideal for travel, without access to a water point for example.
Subsequently, the Foucaud brand was enriched to offer a diversification of its range, in order to provide different forms of administration and types of products more suited to the different parts of the body.
After sport, nothing beats a feeling of softness and vitality, provided by the Great Shape Shower Gel thanks to its essential oils. Its scented formula also combines sesame oil for the softness left on the skin. This shower gel is suitable for both athletes and lovers of toning products!
The Foucaud sport friction brings, unlike its competitors, a certain advantage, because it leaves a non-greasy finish on the body after its application. Friction can be used before or after sports. Before, it warms up and tones the muscles and post-exercise, it relaxes the muscles thanks to its detoxifying and soothing action.
