A visionary pharmacist, André Bouclet was always passionate about the regenerating power of the sea. In 1964, he created Thalgo (a combination of “Thalassotherapy” and “Algae”), the first laboratory specializing in skincare products based on algae and marine extracts, intended for the medical world and thalassotherapy centres.
The textures are both fine and fresh. They are inspired by sensory pleasures associated with the sea: foam texture, aqueous gel, spray, fresh water, sun-kissed beach oil, scrub with grains of sand. They leave a pleasant finish, while infusing active ingredients to the heart of skin. The fragrances are composed in Grasse on the French Riviera. They deliver notes combining freshness, luminosity and delicacy. Our products are made in France, combining elegance and refinement.
