The Philosophy

The centre of the Anne Sémonin philosophy is the understanding that each individual is unique and has different needs that change from day to day. Customers are provided with a made-to-measure experience using the range of beauty products to provide the perfect solution for everyone.

The History

The company was founded nearly 25 years ago by Madame Anne Sémonin. As a pioneer in combining trace elements and essential oils, Madame Sémonin’s belief that the most effective beauty products and treatments are based on a combination of a personal, made to measure prescription and a holistic approach remain the touch stone of the Anne Sémonin brand today. Aline Marcadet became president of the company in 1983. It was Aline’s mission to develop L’Experience Anne Sémonin creating a luxurious collection of spa treatments and products for the face and body which are designed to be combined so each individual can find their own beauty prescription according to the needs of their skin and lifestyle, just as Madame Sémonin intended. Anne Sémonin continues to combine the best of concentrated essential oils and trace elements, together with the use of neurocosmetics and cryotherapy to enhance each individual’s daily beauty regime.

The Products

Because every skin is unique, Anne Sémonin products are designed to be combined in a way that enables each and every woman to find her own personal beauty “prescription”, according to the needs of her skin, her lifestyle, or special circumstances. The full range for face and body encompasses, in addition to intensive complexes of essential oils and trace elements, milks and toners, serums, creams, masks, powders and oils for bath and massage.

The Treatments

Enjoy L’Expérience Anne Sémonin, with our collection of massages and treatments for face and body. A luxurious made-to-measure programme with a wide range of treatments designed for your well being.

Products of outstanding quality, ultra-professional protocols and exceptional diversity have established the reputation of Anne Sémonin treatments over the past 20 years.
