Meet Agnès, the founder of Enfance Paris. .

Who are you ?

I am Agnès, the founder of Enfance Paris. I grew up in Anjou’s vineyards. I have lived in Paris for over 20 years, where I met my husband and we have 2 children Lucien and Violette.

How did you get the idea to create Enfance Paris ?

My daughter was 2 years old and I had already noticed from her birth that she inherited my skin. An eczematous chronicle skin which I've been struggling with since childhood. It seemed impossible for my daughter to go through the same hell of scratching, pain and discomfort.

I started to be careful about what I used on her skin and read the cosmetics composition labels. It’s strange because for food it was an evidence to analyze baby food diet components, from the age the product is intended to the fruits and vegetables traceability but for skin products it was not the case.

Following the analysis of children’s cosmetics offer in pharmacies and beauty stores, I was appalled by the number of additives, colorants, preservatives, synthetic fragrances, and texturing agents added, that I didn't accept for her diet.

It was then obvious that I had to create a brand that would provide an alternative to parents, concerned by what they use on their children’s skin, like me.

How did you choose the name Enfance Paris ?

The story behind our name Enfance Paris : For Enfance it was simple, it means childhood in French, and we produce products for this age range : 0 to 12 years old and also the word evokes times of liberty, possibilities…

And for Paris it was even easier. I live and work in Paris for over 25 years. My children were born here, and it is where I created the brand, if we had been in Marseille, Bordeaux or Lille, i wouldn't have felt right to add Paris at the end of the brand’s name.
