Isabelle Carron’s 12-Flavor Salad
When the press tells our story, a different kind of beauty unfolds.
M Le Magazine du Monde chose to highlight Isabelle and the birth of Absolution in its March 29, 2025 edition. A meaningful encounter for us, an independent and committed brand since 2009.
Isabelle’s journey
Fifteen years ago, Isabelle Carron made a life-changing decision: to leave the world of communication and design in order to bring deeper meaning to her work.
From a young age, she was drawn to nature, health, and natural beauty — values that led her to create Absolution in 2009 with a strong conviction: the skin is alive, and it deserves to be listened to, supported, but never forced.
Far from doing “organic” just to look good, tick boxes, or meet minimum standards, our approach reflects a true vision of holistic care — demanding, artistic, and deeply intentional.
A form of skincare rooted in the wonderful complexity of formulas, the power of plants, and respect for all living things.
Skincare that’s free, vibrant, and sensorial
At Absolution, we’ve always chosen to follow our own rhythm — not to get lost in trends or demands.
Our formulas are 99.9% to 100% natural in origin, our packaging is thoughtfully designed, and our identity is a statement in itself: beauty doesn’t need to be green to be committed, nor loud to exist.
The article published in M Le Magazine du Monde shed light on this singularity with great accuracy.
It speaks about our commitments: never using synthetic fragrance, refusing to compromise, creating less but better.
It speaks about our sensitive approach to skincare, our desire to offer products that are adaptable, modular — almost intuitive.
And it speaks about you, too — those who choose us not to follow a trend, but because, one day, something in our way of doing things simply resonated with yours.
Skincare to food: embracing care as a lifestyle
Taking care of your skin also means taking care of yourself, of what you eat, what you think, and what you breathe.
Isabelle highlights the connection between the benefits of food and body care.
In this article, she shares a recipe she loves to prepare: vibrant, colorful, rich in textures and nutrients.

Thank you to Le Monde’s magazine for this thoughtful perspective.
Being featured in the pages of M Le Monde is like holding up a mirror — not to admire ourselves, but to realign.
It reminds us why we do what we do.
And it makes us want to keep going, more than ever, creating skincare that is sincere, sensorial, demanding, and kind.
