Madame Ella Baché was a pioneer in
skincare innovation. She launched the
first hot wax in Europe in 1930, was the
first to use AHAs in cosmetics, and the
first to put an ingredient listing on her
products. The discovery of hyaluronic
acid’s moisturising properties can
also be put down to her R&D work.
A Hungarian chemist living in Paris and
a contemporary of Estée Lauder and
Helena Rubinstein, Ella Baché discovered
the beneficial properties of food-based
active ingredients and their ability to
restore skin’s radiance.
After working for cosmetic brands
developing formulas, she set up her
own line from her beauty salon on the
famous Rue de la Paix in Paris, in 1936.
Over 70 years later, the brand remains
strong and true to her values of marrying
science with nutrition to create beauty
recipes women would enjoy sharing and
passing on. Today, we call Ella Baché’s
unique approach NUTRIDERMOLOGIE
- it’s the skincare science that harnesses
the properties of food-based active
ingredients, for healthy and
beautiful skin.
