Summer is well established, and with it, the irresistible desire to enjoy the beautiful days. But to maintain a radiant, even, and long-lasting tan, simple steps make all the difference.
At the Graine de Pastel Laboratory, we draw from the riches of our plant, pastel (organically grown on our agricultural estate in Gers), to offer you a routine filled with beneficial active ingredients.
Discover our essential steps to take care of your skin throughout the summer.
Step 1: Preserve your tan’s glow with a gentle exfoliation
Contrary to popular belief, exfoliating your skin in summer does not make your tan fade. For your skin to capture light evenly, exfoliation is the non-negotiable starting point. It refines the skin texture and ensures an even tan.
✨ The beauty step: The Body Scrub, a true "founder’s favorite," this vegan scrub made in France offers a formula with 96% natural origin ingredients.
Its active ingredients: It combines an exfoliating mineral and plant complex (Agen prune pits and silica microbeads) with the powerful Omegas 3, 6, 9 from pastel and a nourishing botanical complex (hazelnut oil, plum oil, camelina oil).
Its benefits: Its creamy texture with exfoliating particles softens and refines the skin. Even better, it doesn’t just exfoliate: it nourishes* and protects the epidermis, while leaving behind our signature Graine de Pastel fragrance.
*Nourishment of the upper layers of the epidermis
Step 2: Intense nourishment for a strengthened epidermis
Sun, salt, and chlorine quickly dry out the skin. To maintain its suppleness, avoid peeling, and prolong your tan, hydration is the key to your preparation.
✨ The allies of suppleness: The Nutritive Body Cream and the Repairing Body Balm
These two exceptional treatments rely on the benefits of pastel’s Omegas 3, 6, 9 and our nourishing botanical complex.
The Nutritive Body Cream: Made with 98% natural origin ingredients, its generous and fresh texture intensely hydrates. It is perfect for daily use to restore radiance and soften the skin.
The Repairing Body Balm: Your iconic treatment since 2005. This vegan care with 94% natural origin ingredients has a rich and enveloping texture. It provides 100%* comfort and repair. The body skin is soothed and hydrated** all day long. Magical for summer evenings, it absorbs quickly and leaves an irresistible silky effect.

Step 3: Anticipate and unify for a flawless complexion
The sun is the main cause of pigment spots. Preparing your face also means actively preventing these irregularities to maintain a radiant and perfectly even complexion.
✨ The perfecting shield: The Anti-Spot Correcting Serum
This serum is a true concentrate of plant technology, benefiting from an exclusive patented innovation.
Its active ingredients: At the heart of its fluid and light formula are powerful pastel bioflavonoids, combined with the plant’s Omegas 3, 6, 9.
Its benefits: Used under your day cream, it reduces pigment spots by 76%* and evens out the complexion. Its overall action is effective on all types of spots, especially those related to the sun.
