Our Founder
Our story began in the 1930s.Pierre Jules Augé and Lucienne Augé, pharmacists trained at the University of Tours, opened their pharmacy in wartime France. Their quiet commitment to the Resistance would profoundly shape a lifelong dedication to repair.
In 1949, they joined a medical mission to Djibouti, where extreme climates and living conditions led to severe skin damage.
Over a decade of voluntary care, they developed a restorative paste for burns and wounds, later known as the “Augé Ointment.” Refined through thousands of clinical cases, it helped countless skin recover its integrity.
From this experience emerged a conviction that continues to define the brand:
Skincare begins with repair, and above all, with restoring the skin’s original balance.
