Avril Night Cream for Normal & Combination Skin

Avril is a contemporary French brand specializing in certified organic cosmetics and personal care products. Founded in 2012 by Alexis Dhellemmes and headquartered in Bondues, near Lille, the brand was established with the mission of making high-quality organic beauty products accessible and affordable for a broad audience. This commitment is reflected in their minimalist approach to packaging and marketing, avoiding expensive advertising campaigns to keep prices low while maintaining high standards of formulation.

The product shown is the Night Cream for Normal and Combination Skin, which is part of their extensive range of ECOCERT-certified organic products. This specific cream is formulated with natural ingredients like sweet almond oil and grape seed oil, emphasizing skin hydration and nourishment during sleep. Avril prioritizes environmental sustainability, often using recyclable materials and reducing unnecessary plastic use in their tubes and containers.

Ownership of the brand remains with the original founding entity, Microcosme SAS, which continues to operate as an independent French company. While Avril has expanded significantly since its inception—boasting over 50 physical boutiques across France and Belgium and a strong international online presence—it has maintained its roots as an unfunded, self-sustaining organic beauty label deeply committed to ethical practices and French manufacturing.
